In these three chapters Negri's mother finally gets a job in which she sews. The mother is enjoying herself because she is doing something that she finds to be exciting. Mami's job requires alot of time, and so she is not home as often as she used to. As a result, Negri being the oldest sister has to take care of her younger brothers and sisters. Negri becomes a little to bossy and her sisters start to dislike her because they believe that she is not letting them have fun. Also Negri became a little more mature as she and a neighbor Tato showed each other their private parts.
Quote:
"Delsa yelled. "you're not mami." (Santiago 127).
Reaction:
This quote is important to the story because it shows how Negri is trying to take her moms position as the female authority in the house, but unfortunately her sisters think that she is starting to become to annoying trying to be something that she is not.
