Comparison between Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Rivers
The Families Hunt and Rivers are two black families that have to struggle an unjust life of the 60's in New York City to survive. When realizing how black people were treated unfairly and how New York City didn't like her or her sister because they were black, Tish wrote, "They look at us as though we were zebras - and, you know, some people like zebras and some people don't. But nobody ever asks the zebra."(pg.9) In other words, people considered her and her sister as if they were odd animals instead of human beings. Nevertheless these families have a different approach when facing the daily survival, fear and stress. Moreover, the two mothers of these families, Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Rivers, although in similar circumstances, could hardly be more different. They barely look alike, physically or spiritually.

"I always knew that you would be the destruction of my son. My God caused me to know it many a year ago. has - that look, that don't - you - touch - me look, that women who were beautiful carry with them to the grave. However, Sharon has completely different approach to what is the meaning of the religion. "I trust in God, I know He cares for me. For her, the church is a place where she can compete with others, how they look, how they dress and who is louder when praying.
