Quote
"i was too aashamed to admit it at the time, but the fact that she was a black woman, or that she had on waytoo much make-up had nothing to do with it. It was because she was a woman" This means that he is gay before he was to go to his sentence hearing but he too afaraid to admit it to any one.

Reactions
My reaction this this auto biograpghy is that this so far he is just goes back and forth with everything. when he was talking to about the jail holding experience he went back to the time when he was with his stepmother sharon and how he said that she could discipline him because she wasnt his mother. also when he is the hoding cell he taks about gym and how he would just get an F like he does in gym class in school. He also that when he was talking about this that he has afraid of getting naked in front of everyon else. another example of this is when he refers back to the neighborhood how the whites live in the suburbs and in jail there is only three whites and the rest black.
