Summary:
In this chapter, Stephanides tells us a description of her birth. She compares her mother's triumphant face to the Mount Rushmore. She mentions the nurse that took care of her. She said she was pretty, had a long face and was from Tennessee. Her name was Rosalee. Dr. Nishan Philobosian his doctor. After being born, she began checking Calliope's neck, then counted her fingers and toes. She inspected her palate, and noted Stephanides Mora reflex.
When the colored people started to riot, everyone in the neighborhood were scared. People started sleeping in their basement, and didn't leave their housings if it wasn't important. Death toll raised and raised. On day one, 15 people died. On day two, 27 people died. And on day three, 36 people died. There was many injuries, stores looted, and fires. For three days, Calliopes and his family didn't bathe nor brush their teeth.
Quote:
"We hope for better things; it will rise from the ashes" (Euginedes, 251)
Reaction:
I love this quote because it represents Phoenix's people, and the situations
they overcome. Example: When there was a riots, and no one left their housing.
This event was very difficult to overcome, especially with death tolls
increasing everyday. After this event, the people of Phoenix rose from their
ashes.
