This is my second post about Betsy Brown, as promised, since I've read more of it. Frankly, I don't much like the main character(Betsy Brown) or really, her family. Betsy's reactions to events that happen are somewhat unrealistic. For example, when she is faced with the boy she likes, she says she already has a boyfriend, which doesn't make any sense. Why would you tell someone you want to be your boyfriend that you already have one?
She also seems to believe that he'd be willing to marry her, even though he's never really hinted at that, only that he wants to get into her pants. She's also racist against white people, which is understandable, but leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She also runs away for reasons that make sense to her, but not really to anyone else, character or reader. Anyway, I'm hoping it'll get better and the climax will be satisfactory. I'll update latter on my opinion of the ending. Good day.
