Character Description

Silvia is the mother of Sony. According to Sony she is a mother that doesn’t really take into consideration that she has a responsibility to take care of and only act like she does. “My mom has to be there with me too. She has to take off from work and listen and act like she was all worked up about me too, which she wasn’t, and I knew it, because I heard her taking all the time on the phone about what she was up with , but the lady judge wasn’t going to notice nothing.”(page 4). This was when a cop pulled him over and asked him what he was doing. Then the cop farted and Sonny laughed. Which got him into trouble and ended up at court. Sonny knew his mother didn’t care even if she acted like she did at court. She was also a mother that isn’t really there with her children and doesn’t have a stable relationship with a man. “She was tired, and she didn’t like to waste time because she was already way too busy. It was my mom, if she wasn’t at her job , was out on dates and whatever” (page 5). Sonny knows she works hard to keep them with a roof over their head and food but that there isn’t a good connection with them since she doesn’t really know them.
