Call my parents
very expensive
allowance of fifty cents
given responsibilities
ten dollar bill
cost more
save up
two cigar boxes to sell
need to make that call
This poem shows a scene from the book when Lucia asks Mrs. Baxter if she could call home and see if they are ok. She really misses her parents but she just cant call them whenever she wants because its too expensive. Its shows how Mrs. Baxter feels empathy for Lucia and Frankie. She tells them that she will give them each an allowance of 50 cents. It allows them to save up money for their call to Cuba. and with the 10 dollars they already have and the two cigar boxes they are able to reach their goal much faster. That is how this scene shows empathy.
