The
theme for chapter 12 “A Question of Value” is kindness and shame. In this
chapter kozol shows the way Miss Katrice helps her community. He states the
conditions and troubles the mothers of St. Ann’s go through to make sure their
child survives; Even if it meant asking for help from others. She understands
what all these mothers go through; she also feels the pain the mothers have, because
she can relate her life to the situation. “If a child’s mother’s using drugs, or sick,
or in the hospital, or in some other trouble, and she can’t sustain, you have
to take her place. You have to be the mother and grandmother. Not just for your
own. For all” (Kozol 148). She really is
an angel to the children and adults of St. Ann’s. She doesn’t turn anyone away
even if she’s ready to go home and is closing the kitchen. She welcomes those
in need and helps them in anyway. I think Miss Katrice plays a big role in the
children of St. Ann’s because they trust and depend on her.
I think Mrs katrice is a big role in the childrens lives and that all attention is on her. She also is an affectionate character in this chapter.
