Usually when people say that they are running out of familiar faces they could be talking about how they don't recognize anyone they used to know, play with etc.

It also keeps Fonny calm knowing that Tish is doing alright.

Just because she is the oldest sister doesn't mean that she has to get married before her sister. she should be able to wait until she is ready and finds a person that she loves.

"But I could see I was just fooling myself. 1 I didn’t love nobody else but her."

I love how Fonny reassures Tish and how he expresses his love towards her.

I love the strong bond that Tish and Ernestine have.

Could this be the reason she has so much faith in god because she feels as if he had forgiven her after trying to commit such an act?

You can tell because later in the paragraph she says "I just can’t tell, Sweetie, if I want to tear it out with my fingers or my teeth." Also in the beginning of this paragraph Adrienne quivered which shows...

The differences between Frank and Mrs.hunt when it comes to what they believe in plays a major factor in what's tearing their relationship apart.

Frank is showing that no matter what he would sand by his son through anything. So when he talks about how god sacrificed his son for the sake of everyone else Frank wouldn't be able to do such a...

it shows how protective Joseph is over Tish and she knows that he would do anything to protect his daughter from any harm.

I'm glad to see that Tish has multiple people that love and support her that can get her through her rough days.

"we knew that it had always been there, waiting. We had not seen the moment."

Tish's family cares more about her safety and well being and continue to be supportive of her and her pregnancy. "My father’s chest shook with laughter, I felt his chest rising and falling between my shoulder blades, and this...

because of Ernestine's tone when she says “She ain’t going to forget it,” and “I'll whip her ass."

"This isn’t true, and she knows that now – people love different people in different ways – but it must have seemed that way to her when we were little."

I feel like Tish is starting to get anxious

‘He’s fucked with my mind enough already.”

Why would they blame that on Fonny? Them not being able to find a eligible bachelor shouldn't be Fonny's fault nor problem.

because if fighting happens all the time at his house there should be a reason or multiple reasons as to why.

"the death that was waiting to overtake the children of our age." she was talking about how kids during that time were being programmed to just do what they are taught instead of finding their own path and doing...

"Daddy may take it kind of rough but that’s just because he doesn’t know as much about his daughter as Mama and Ernestine do. Well.He’ll be worried, too, in another way, and he’ll show it more."

his love for Fonny is unconditional.

Which is probably why she mentioned him having a "very nasty sense of humor."

Or maybe she just wanted to continue traveling and doing her own thing and enjoy her youth at the time. "Anyway, I know I wasn’t woman enough to help the man, to give him what he needed.”

In this case Tish's mom is telling her to not worry or overthink about what may happen in the future or won't happen, but to just continue her journey and keep on pushing.

This sentence makes me hear the sounds of the church because Baldwin talks about how it sounded like the pianist was attacking the keyboard and "beating the brains out of someone he remembered" so it can be his way...

since we know that Fonny's mother didn't like Tish and didn't even want her in her house.

to make love with each other out of true love for each other and to be able to smile and laugh while doing so."I guess it can’t be too often that two people can laugh and make love, too,...

how lawyers and bondsmen were so desperate to make a quick buck that they look for any opportunity to do so. "They're not any richer than the poor, really, that's why they've turned into vultures, scavengers, indecent garbage men,"
