So today we had our last LCD Discussion and once again Beatrice and I bumped heads on how the main character Winter, and a male character named Midnight feel about each other. Beatrice said that Midnight does love Winter but I know he doesn't. In the end of the book winter was supposed to go back to Brooklyn and go get some letters from her mother. But she didn't because she was afraid of what her too old friends (Simone and Natalie) would do too her. When she finally did go back to Brooklyn, the worst happened. Simone cut her face up, and Winter was left in a car. Where the police charged her for Drug possession, Murder, and other things that landed her in Jail for fifteen years at an minimum.
Later on we find out that shes already served eight years, and she never gets a visit from anyone. We also find out that all her friends from the hood, also got arrested for drug charges(P.S. they did not do anything like winter they were with a man who was doing drugs, the girls got charged and the men didn't because they left the girl hanging.) This makes think of women in general. How come women can put there whole life in the hands of a man? In the coldest winter ever Winter always gets everything from her father. But when the house gets raided she realizes she has to learn to survive on her own, instead of depending on men. For the rest of the book if winter can't find a way to do something for herself than she can't feel safe.
Winter feels like that at all times she needs to have at least a little bit of money in her pocket. That's why when she went and stayed with Bullet, it was so strange. He never ever let her have any money and he did not really trust her as a person. In my opinion he was just to iffy. I feel like life would have been much better if Winter had an different outlook on men. She needs to realize that all men are not like her father. Her father loved her and would die for her no matter if she lied, it wasn't the same.And at the same time once again we were arguing about winter and her relationship with him. But overall I hated the book. I do not want to even read Midnight, another book written by Sister Souljah. The book had a horrible ending and the author made herself look like a hero in the book which is BS.
