Precious: family – school – city

December 13, 2010 at 2:12 pm (African-American Experience)

1) family

  • mother is aggressive
  • not interested in school
  • abusing, raping and beating her
  • no love for her

2) school

  • chaos
  • no respect
  • no one is interested in school and education
  • but precious is good at math

3) city

  • many black people in thestreets
  • crackheads make the ghetto dangerous and give him a “bad name”
  • high, grey houses with many appartements [german: Plattenbau?]
  • everything is grey, black and dark
  • contrast: Hotel Theresa is very clean, light and modern
