"I was born in 1978 on a hot, sticky late-August day on the twenty-eight-square-mile island of St. Thomas. My mother was an eighteen year old native. My father was fifty-six and lived on the island from 1976 to 1984"(Steffans 33).
--This passage is really stands out when reading it. When a reader read this particular passage they may have to read it twice. Because when you start reading it, you think yea her mom was a young parent, but then she said her dad was fifty six. So again she teaches something about life and tries to make the reader understand her situation and not be judgmental on her life.
Why is the age difference between her parents so far apart?
Was her mother force to have a baby?
Can a fifty five man have sex with a seventeen year old girl?
