Jessica: LeAlan & Lloyd deal with violence in their neighbor hood by talking about exactly what goes on in Ida B Wells. They use the method of voicing out the problems of living in the south side of Chicago to relieve the stress that comes with it. When I had problems with things that went on in school, the work, teachers, and maybe people who acted like jerks in general, my best method of dealing with it was talking to someone about it. When someone hears me complain about my dislike of things in school I felt better because it was my way of letting it out. I was no longer stressed so now I was able to go through the next day in order to do what I had to do.
Debbie: I have the same book so I would say it's very similiar to what I think. LeAlan is dealing with a hard truth of not knowing who his father is. Not to be too personal, but like many I know, I don't know who my father is neither. To me it's not much of a big deal but the truth is like LeAlan I don't wish to know him because he wasn't there in my life. Knowing that I don't need to know the truth is my way of dealing with it enough.
