My team and I discussed a lot more ideas in this second section of the book.
More has happened because Winter's father is now in jail, there is no money, Midnight abandoned her in Brooklyn, Sterling put her out his house for another girl, she can't trust her friends, her mom is a whole new person, the goverment is after her because she is under eighteen, and she has no idea where to start at getting her life back together.
Santiaga was charged with everything you could name: murder, robbery, weapons, distribution of narcotics, etc. All of his money he had stashed away for situations like this was gone. Midnight was the only one of Santiaga's workers that was clean and not in jail, so he gave Winter three thousand dollars and left Brooklyn for good. Winter wanted to go too, but he said she was a "dumb woman and could never roll with him." She tried to stay at Sterling's again, but he put her out claiming he had "company". Back in Brooklyn, because she was no there, her friends began to pretend they were above her because her family had fallen apart. Her mom was on drugs and looked horrible al the time because she didn't have Santiaga there to take care of her. Winter has nowhere to stay nor any way to get money, and is avoiding being picked up by the cops and aken to a foster home, though eventually she is.
My team and I discussed each of these issues through Level One questions and even Level Three questions :
Will Santiaga (Winter's father) ever get out of jail? Maybe not, the charges were too severe.
Why did Midnight abandon Winter? He thought she was a dumb girl.
What made Sterling finally get rid of Winter? Maybe he realized she was using him and used another girl to make her go away.
Can/should jealousy ruin a friendship? This went unanswered.
We reviewed many ideas in our discussion, and can't wait to continue reading.
