In the story bobby narrates, "i take out some bubble gum and hand Nia a piece. Were still blowing bubbles when we walk out of the office hand and hand, then get into different taxis with our parents and head to different parts of the city." He is explaining how him and Nia love eachother so much that they are holding hands before she has to leave. This shows he is coming of age because he isnt upset about what was happening and just could tell she was his and he wasnt going anywhere. The feather is symbolizes his daughter, it relates to coming of age because he is growing up and having a daughter. I dont think any guy is a man until they have become a father. In this book Bobby narrates, "two days after feather came,.." He is talking about how feather had just came home. He has to take care of another priority so he is growing into a man. In the book "first part last" bobby does this thing called coming of age. He has a few way that resemble it also. There is a basketball, his little girl feather, the wall or even bubble gum. He had a way that got him to come of age. Bobby had great ways of explaining it
