The main characters are sally and her father.
This girl, whose name is Sally, Is being phisically abused by her father and when she comes to school all bruised up. She denies what really happens and says that she fell and other times that her dad doesn't hit her hard. There was one situation in the story that Sally states that her "father hits her like a dog and that she's gooing to run away like his sisters who made the family ashamed."(pg.92)
One day sally came to stay with Espiranza and Sally didn't stay long because her father came over at night. he said that "this is the last time"(pg.93) and sally went back home.
Then one day Sally's father caught her talking to a boy and she didn't show up for school for two days. "Sally said that he just went crazy, he just forgot he was her father between the buckle and the belt."(pg.93)
What happened to Sally at the end of the chapter? and why do you think she didn't go to school for two days after her father saw her talking to a boy?
Figurative language
"and then he broke into his hands"
I'm assuming that means he hit her really hard.

At the end of the chapter Sally's father beat her becuase he saw her talking to a boy.
She didn't go to school because the didn't want everyone to see the marks she has on her body from her father hurting her.

AT the end of the chapter, Sally dad saw her with a boy and thought the worst and hit her to teach her some form of lesson that parents think they can get into thier childs head by hitting them. She did not go to school because of the pain from the abuse and the embarassment of her friends seeing the marks and bruises.
at the end of the chapter i think sally's father beat her for talking to a boy. i think she didnt go to school for the next couple of days becuase her father did not want to people to see the marks on her body from him beating her and start asking questions.

At the end of the chapter sally's dad caught her talking to a boy and went crazy and probably beat her, she didnt go to school becouse her father probably hurt her really bad.
