I think Lisa worked hard to make a relationship with Seven, but the movie made me feel that Lesha was kind of trapped in her relationship with King, and would have liked things to be better with Seven.

I totally agree about L...GREAT answers, Barb!! :) <br /><br />I totally agree about Lisa. I think she's a TERRIFIC parent!! Starr knows she can always go to Lisa without feeling intimidated. And yes, Lisa is pretty cool. She really understands and empathizes with her daughter. <br /><br />You've pointed out some very important differences between the two interviews. Yes, Officer Cruise's father focused on personal issues, while Starr focused on what should be focused on -- Khalil's murder. Cruise's father just tried to get sympathy for his son, while Starr emphasized the injustice of the murder. <br /><br />Another great point about how Maverick was already helping DeVante, so he would have been more open about moving out of Garden Heights. I totally agree!<br /><br />I also agree that Iesha could have taken the kids and left King. However, I do think this would have been very difficult, as King was a criminal. This is a very complicated issue. I have very mixed feelings about her, though. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!! Looking forward to next week!! <br /><br />HUGS TO YOU AND THE PUPS, AND "WOOF, WOOF" TO THEM!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :) <br />Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-53087900821763881252019-02-01T10:59:22.181-05:002019-02-01T10:59:22.181-05:00Usually a book with so much hype is one I feel I h...Usually a book with so much hype is one I feel I have to have, but for some reason, I haven't grabbed this one.<br />sherry @ <a href="http://www.fundinmental.com/" rel="nofollow"> fundinmental</a> sherry fundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197438610372707924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-71073862091255201632019-02-01T09:34:39.438-05:002019-02-01T09:34:39.438-05:00oh you are reading THUG!
