"I mean, yeah, my dad would sometimes go on a drinking beinge and be gone for a week, but those white dads can completely disappear without ever leaving the room. They can just BLEND into their chairs. They become their chairs." pg. 153-154
Do you think parents aren't as involved with their childrens' lives, and why do you think that?

"He stood with his textbook and dropped it. *Whomp!*
He looked so strong. He looked like a warrior. He was prtecting me like Rowdy used to protect me. Of course, Rowdy would have thrown the book at the teacher and then punched her.
Gordy showed a lot of courage in standing up to a teacher like that. And his courage inspired others.
Penelope stood and dropped her textbook.
And then Roger stood and dropped his textbook. *Whomp!*
Then the other basketball players did the same.
*Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!*
And Mrs. Jeremy flinched each and every time, as if she'd been kicked in the crotch.
*Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!*
The all my class mates walked out of the room.
A spontaneous demonstration."
IF YOU KNEW THAT ONE OF YOUR CLASSMATES WAS DEALING WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF GREIF BE IT A FAMILY LOSS OR SOME OTHER THING THEY MAY BE DEALING WITH AND A TEACHER SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO THEM HOW WOULD YOU STAND UP FOR THEM EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THEM?
pg.175
I think that some parents are not as involved in thier childrens lives not be cause they don't want to be just because they don't have the time. They are so busy trying to make ends meet and trying to support thier familes that they just don't have to the time to be invloved in the lives of thier children.
i think if your parents really care about you they will find time to be there for you if they don't they wou't find time
