Page 5 was one of the things i like in the book. It talks about how their mother would ride her really old bike and how she like playing the piano. James who is also the author talks about how his parents life was and how his life was too. I like this part of the book because it describes how he was embarased by his mothers bike. In the book he said "But the bike drove me carzy. It was a huge old clunker, blue with white trim, with flat tires, huge fendesrs, and a battery-powered horn built into the middle of the frame with a buttom you pushed to make it blow". This to me shows me that he doesnt like his mother riding the bike which by the way is really old. The most interesting thing to me was when he talk about his mom not knowing what was going on around her. In pg 7" she would ride her bike across Murdock Avenue, the only whie person. black motorist gawked at the strange, middle- aged white lady riding her ancient bycycle". This to me seems really funny because she has no idea of what is going on around her eventhought she is the only one standing out.
