Meanwhile, Aunt Pooh's doing everything we've been told not to do, and she's giving us food when we need it. Her my brother is, doing everything right, and nothing's coming from it. Jesus does not judge, but the people Bri sees in church on Sundays always seem to do so. She also shows that she has a good understanding of irony, in that all of the people in church who say that they love Jesus don't seem to want to use his teachings as a building block for those in their neighborhood who are in need of a hand. Bri cannot understand why, if they see that they are struggling, they don't do something to help. They judge and they point out all the things that are wrong, but they never reach out and try to help in any way. She thinks that all the congregation does is talk about her and her family, and not in a positive way. Bri, observing the churchgoers in her communityīri feels judged by others, and to some extent she is not incorrect in her feelings. You'd think some of them would help us instead of talk about us, but I guess it's easier to say you love Jesus and harder to act like him. In this way she and her mother are very different.Ĭhurch is full of people with plenty to say and nothing to do. She doesn't want to make small talk, or reach out, or interact with people on a daily basis. She means people no harm she just doesn't like them. She knows that she has to co-exist with them, and she knows that her actions and behavior cannot solely be for her own purposes and benefit because she needs to respect the rights of others as well.
She is the kind of person who will say hello the the person behind her in the line at the grocery store.īri, on the other hand, does not like people very much. Jay essentially likes people, and is still happy to reach out to them, make connections, interact with them on a regular basis. I'm more of a, "yes, people exist, but that doesn't mean I have to talk to them" person.
