Victoria Roubideaux. What a wordly name for a character that is supposed to be plucked from white trash! "Victoria" is a classy and elegant female name. "Roubideaux" is French.
The first paragraph features a sick girl, but I think it is interesting to not ethat she is in the praying position.
Her mother is angry, disrespectful, and degrading. Her choice of words labels the class she belongs to-"little miss, you knocked yourself up,slut"-
Cigarettes make their debut in the book.
Victoria only has a few clothes to alternate between and I feel bad for her. She goes to school after she is sick, probably in clothes that smell like smoke.
The red purse is symbolic of something, but what of I am not sure just yet!
