Jeannette becomes much more independent, although in the book at the age of
3 her parents were very carefree and let her do what she pleased, there was no fear in their eyes. “‘I got all these cuts and bruises from playing outside and the burns from cooking hot dogs’ I said, They asked me what I was doing cooking hot dogs at the age of 3”(10). She was able to do these things alone at a very young age her parents didn’t care what she was doing because she wasn’t hurting herself, and even after her parents didn’t care, in-fact they were proud of her. As she grows up she becomes more dependent on her father, especially when he does something wrong. “‘ he does’ I said ‘he brings in money from the odd jobs’ ‘he spends more than he earns on booze’
