In Chapter five, we meet new characters and revisit old ones. Monique is Geralds mother, Jordan is her husband, and Angel is their young daughter. Jordan, Monique, and Angel all visited Gerald and Aunt Queen for breakfast at Aunt Queen's house, and Monique is selfish enough to blurt out that Gerald will be living with them. This news didn't go very well with Gerald. The chapter ended with him angry at his mother, he stormed out, and Monique and Jordan left, but left Angel at home with Aunt Queen. In the 6th chapter, Aunt Queen discovers that Angel has obviously been abused, when she sees that Angel is very afraid to be touched by Aunt Queen, and she feared to take off her black stockings because she was afraid that her mom would "get" her. Later in the chapter, Gerald and Angel go outside and bond. Yet sadly, while this is happening, Aunt Queen passes away inside.
It seems that Jordan is not a very good man, and this may be one of Gerald's new troubles in his hard life. I thought that his troubles were over, and I feel that now, sadly, they are far from that. I wish that Aunt Queen would have stayed alive so that she could end up taking care of Gerald and Angel. However, now that she is gone, I fear that hard times are on their way for the both of them.
