In the second part of the book, Winter is now dealing with all types of drama such as Santiaga being in jail; people she cared about are treating her differently- more in a negative way; money is a big issue; and her sisters are taken from her, and the police/government watch her and her mother 24-7. My two partners Ruby and Janice, and I talked about the different situations she had and we basically asked each other what we thought of it and reviewed to the group who was listening and to each other what were the significant events of the section.
Some of the events or questions we talked about were why Midnight treats Winter the way he does. In chapter 7, Midnight tells Winter that she is immature and basically says that "a dumb woman will bring a smart man down". The way Midnight treats Winter makes the reader question him. From what happens and what we also discussed, he does this probably because he wants to remain loyal to Santiaga and thinks that Winter is not smart nor is she responsible for anything she does. We also talked about why Midnight is mad about the video (Winter,Natalie, Bullet, and Slick kid in a pool, all naked and drunk). One of us said that Midnight might be mad because not only is it a sign of immaturity but Midnight might have some feelings for her but is afraid to admit it.
We reviewed other things such as why the mom changed her wardrobe- is it because she now relies on herself since Santiaga isn't there to provide for them. Also, Winter's relationship with Natalie was discussed and a level 3 question relating to that, "Should jelaousy ruin a friendship?". Sterling, a boy Winter uses for his money and because she is lonely (this is a reason why Aunt B says she is spoiled) might be seeing someone who sounds unattractive. I thought it was a mother but Janice and Ruby thought it may be a girlfriend- which he means he doesn't have good taste.
Basically, we reviewed a lot in the book and discussed opinions and main events in story.
