Speaking in Tongues

I thought that this story kind of outlined the idea of being thankful for what you have. This is because when Tia goes out to find her mom she finds out that her mom is a completely different person and living a completely different life. Then, while she struggles to survive in Atlanta, she gets into trouble, almost gets raped, and finds that she wants to go back home. The point is that while she wanted to get away from home, focusing on the bad things about it such as her church, she wasn't focusing the good things such as people that love her and take care of her. Finally, I thought it was kind of frustrating at the end when she thinks Dezi raped her and he didn't, because she doesn't listen to him and just freaks out. I think the author did this to keep the story on the line that she wanted the meaning of it all to be.

I totally agree with you on this, expecially about the end i just thought she was being annoying and think that she should just get over the fact that he didn't rape her.

I agree with you thought on this story. I really didn't like it because she should have stayed at home with her grandmother and none of this would have happened.
