Summary
In the novel of Kendra by Coe Booth the climax begins to become the extreme point so far throughout the novel. With Kendra having more independence she begins to go another level with the way people look at her because of the anger she has bottled up. Kendra's' mother is very young so she want to be free and not take the responsibility that she has a child; with Renee she doesn't want to be locked down and she feels as if her daughter is doing so. The reactions of Renee severely affects Kendra because she doesn't notice the people who love her and are trying to help her. Kendra begins to pick the people who will only be there for her for only a portion of her life time rather than the one who will be there for her. Being only fourteen Kendra is beginning to make the wrong choices that will lead her down the wrong road.
Quote
"I nod not knowing what to say. Then he opens the door and he's gone, and my heart is beating fast. He's coming back for me. What does that even mean? Is he taking me somewhere? Where? I feel like my body i shaking from the inside" (Booth 160).
Reaction
This quote was from Kendra in the middle of a stage crew event. She was thinking this after the boy Nashawn came in the middle of the event and told Kendra what he wanted her to do. When reading this it made me upset because it shown Kendra's weakness because she wants to be liked. Not only but many young girls get manipulated by others and do things that they do not want to do. I think something serious will occur with Kendra if she does not learn to make wise decisions.
