Not as they seem

The first part of chapter 5 (pages 145-158) is a study of contrasts. In the chapter we get to know Ms. Bailey and Clarisse even more and we really see how complex life and poverty in the Robert Taylor Homes is--especially for women. I'd like you to address at least one of the following contrasts in the first part of chapter 5. As always, please use evidence from the text and respond to at least one other class member (if not the first post).

Booze vs. coats
Charity to some vs. charity to none
Clarisse's vision of herself vs. the reality
Clarisse's home vs. her life
parenthood vs. drug use
Arab charity vs. discrimination
