Forged by fire chapters 4 and 5

Today we read chapers 4 and 5 in Forged By Fire and Gerald just found out that his mother is coming to see him. He was suprised because he hasn't seen her in a long time . He said that he faded her out of his memory. Gerald's birthday was coming up and he wanted a red bicycle for his birthday. He said he didnt care if it was new or old he just wanted a bike. Well the day before his birthday his Aunt Queen told him that his mother was coming to visit him on his birthday. His aunt knew that this was hard on him so she told him to go look in the garage for something then to his suprise he found a brand new shiny bike. The next day his aunt told him to get up beacuse his mother was there. So he got dressed and walked out into the kitchen. His mother wasn't the only one sitting at the breakfast table. He saw a man wearing cowboy boots. He was standing there like time was frozen. His mother Monique brought him back to reality and said "hi " to him . Then he saw a little girl who Sharon described as looking as a glass doll. She was Gerald's younger sister. Aunt Queen then started telling Gerald about how his little sister Angel came about. He was in denial he didn't believe he had a sister. Aunt Queen told Gerald his mother was released from jail a year ago. And she was back on track and was married to the man with the cowboys boots name Jordan. I think that Jordan beats Gerald's mother. He said that Angel's eyes look like the cried many times. Then his mother just blurted out and asked if Gerald wanted to move in with them and Aunt Queen was outranged. She told her that the time wasn't right and that she should wait. I think something going to happen to Aunt Queen because I just have the feeling that somethinds going to happen

Forged By Fire

Forged By Fire written by Sharon m. Draper is talking about how a boy name Gerald is getting abused by his mother. His mother is addicted to drugs and is a big time druggie in her neighborhood. She says she teaches him lessons by hitting and burning him. I personally think thats wrong. Gerald is so confused because some days his mother is nice and other days she is mean and abusive. He doesn't know which mother he is going to get that day. A man name Leroy sells the drugs to his mother. His mother burned the palm of his hand because he was playing with her lighter. She claims that will teach him a lesson. Well one day she left him alone in the house and it was starting to get dark and he was bored so he started palying with his G.I joe she bought him. He started playing with the lighter and set the house on fire. His Aunt Queen came and took him from the hospital and she is going to start taking care of him. His mother was getting charged for leaving her son and abusing him. I think his mother has alot of personal problems that she needs to take care of. It was wrong of her to bring a child in this world and know she is not stable enough to take care of him. She should have least gave him to her Aunt when he was small so he wouldn't have to go though all that at the age of three.
