BEGINNG EXPOSITION
(Exposition: The passage introduces the
theme of racism and prejudice in Trinidad
during the 1980s. It explores racial
harmony and friendship between different
ethnicities, but also reveals the
underlying segregation and discrimination
present in society. The passage further
touches on themes of classism, gender
roles, the importance of education, and
the impact of family dynamics on the
development of children.
Rising Action: The rising action of the plot
focuses on the various examples of
racism and prejudice present in the novel.
It highlights instances where teachers
display racist behavior, students repeat
racist statements they have learned from
their parents, and even family members
discriminate against individuals of
different races. Class prejudice is also
explored, with characters from different
socio-economic backgrounds
experiencing disparities. The passage
continues to reveal how gender roles are
enforced, with women being expected to
focus on domestic duties while men are
given more freedom and opportunities.
The rising action also emphasizes the
importance of education as a means of
emancipation and independence,
particularly for women.

Climax: The climax of the plot occurs


when Anthony, unable to see a way
forward in obtaining an education due to
lack of support from her family, tragically
takes her own life. This event serves as a
tragic manifestation of the theme of
education as a means of liberation,
further highlighting the struggles faced by
individuals who do not have the resources
or support to advance academically.
Falling Action: The falling action of the
plot reflects on the impact of family
dynamics on the development of children.
It shows how Lacey's upbringing in a
supportive and loving extended family
environment has positively influenced her
character, while Michael's negative home
environment has hindered his growth and
development. The passage also delves
into the influence of teachers on students'
emotional, mental, and psychological
well-being, highlighting positive and
negative impacts.
Resolution: The resolution of the plot
addresses the theme of pursuing dreams
and ambitions. It emphasizes Lacey's
determination to achieve education and
create a prosperous life for herself and
her family, despite the challenges she
faces. The passage also reveals Anjani's
fear of becoming like her mother if she
fails to achieve her dreams, ultimately
leading to her tragic decision. The
resolution highlights the internal conflict
faced by Lacey, who must navigate
between defying her father and living up
to the expectations of her supportive
family.
