Reflection On Lucia Turner

In this chapter we see a lot of domestic violence between the couple. We see a relationship not only between the couple but also the family and neighborhood. When the chapter start off we see the couple fighting and arguing about life I can personally relate to this chapter because I was a victim of domestic violence which did cause me to lose my child same ways as Lucielia Turner did. The couple in this chapter argued about everyday problems, money , children and their values on life. Lucielia was more of the passive unlike her partner. We later see that due to the fights and finical problems she aborts her newest child. This is one of many examples of the mother to child relationship within this chapter. Losing her child that they both created hurt her more than anything she could possibly think. Being in her shoes
Prior to this chapter we see that Lucielia was Eva grand child that Mattie helped raise as her own daughter . And after the funeral we see that Mattie was a mother to this women. Who felt as if her life was over. She lost her lover , her daughter and her new born due to the mistakes she made from following a man who was no good for her.

I can personally relate to this chapter because I was Lucielia at a point in time in my life being a victim of Domestic Violence is nothing fun. And loosing a child to it just makes matters worse. I can related to the depression and the want to die that Lucielia felt that night. Having some sunshine in your darkest storm, We later see how the father and her partner feels about Lucielia and his children. Not caring about what he says or his actions just trying to find a way out of a life he created himself. I found that this man was heartless and didn't really care about his family due to the fact that he didn't support his partner in her hardest time and not even show to his own daughter funeral. And finds the blame all in
