toyice
chapter nine is basically about when beka is going out with toyice and toycie boyfriend emilo and toyice got caught up in wrong doings
a mango tree fell on her, crushing her skull
two people died in Beka Lamb great granny straker and Toyice Quilio.
the book beka lamb is about the struggles of a teenage girl living what is considered a mediocare lifestyle in a poor community. the book depics the struggles of growing up and the inseperable bond beetween her and her friend toyice.
The basic theme is the struggle of the Creole population of Belize to hold on to their ethnic heritage and assert their civil rights while faced with opposition from the Hispanic community. (IMO, reading great literature should be seen as a privilege and an honor not a tedious obligation).
Toyice was mad at the fact that she was pregnant and her boyfriend ' Emilio villanuevo' promised her that her would marry her after they both left school.Toycie also taught that everyone turned against her because she was pregnant. She fell out of school early and she did not fully get an education. She was mad at Emilio for ignoring her (not seeing her often) she was hurt deep inside she loved Emilio with all her heart and on a still night they found Toycie's body in the creek
