The Color of Water By: James McBride Pg. 65

In page 65 the tittle of the chapter is Brothers and sister. He was the eight of twelve children which i think it must of been hard. I imagine how he had not that much of attention from his mom which i think it was sad. This chapter talks about  how he got his clothes, which were of course old, They were past from brother to brother and sister to sister. Which seems sad and depressing to me and I think most of the people who have read this book think the same.

On page 45 it talks about how James moms loves church and god. How every sunday she was the only white person at church.. Something that cought my mind was when he said, "butchering the lovely hymns with a singing voice that sounded like a cross between a cold engine trying to crank on an october morning and a whining Maytag washer".This is something that my grandmother does every sunday which is somethingfunny for me because she is so alike the character of James mom. She sings all the songs eventhouhgt she doesnt sing hard she tries her best.

Color of Water By: James McBride Pg. 21

In page 21 it talks about the race of james mother. He askes her were was she from, while she keeps avoiding him, saying "God made Me". This paragraph means something to me because my cousins who is only 5 years old. she is always asking mu uncle why he only looks like her mom and not him, Because her mom is White and her dad is Mexican. And my uncle always answers her"Because your mom is prettier than me". So this is why I choose this  paragraph because it connects to something in my life.
