Sweet Summer pages 199-233

After Bebe wrote to her father she wanted an immediate response. She imagined her dad asking her how she was, how she got bigger than how he knew her before and all those questions he usually asked. But after reading the next chapter I realized that Bebe wasn’t only writing to herself but she was also going to a crisis of not having her father around her. Days passed and she was still thinking about her father. One week after her uncle Sammy came to visit her with out her knowing. That got her very exited because she misses having a father figure around her. Since her father died it’s been her and mother struggling with all those challenges that life has been giving them. One thing that her uncle had in common with her father was all the questions he started asking Bebe. After her uncle left her grandmother started having problems with her teeth. that was another struggle that the family had. at first the grandmmother didn't believe her dentist so she went to another one, he told her the same thing. the grandmother had to take all her teeth out one by one and put the fake teeth in. At first no one was really comfortable with it but as the days pass everyone started getting use to it.
"how are you doing in school" asked uncle sammy (Campbell 215)

i felt the same way as Bebe felt when her uncle asked her this question because her thought about this question was that all grown ups wanted to know the answer of that question evrytime they see you.
