A Piece Of Cake 

Author : Cupcake Brown

Pages: 80-100

   From the last reading response I wrote Cupcake went missing , but this time when she returned home she was pregnant.  I guess somewhere along the lines of her turning tricks for money  she lost her birth control that Dian ( her old foster mother) gave her. You and I both know that a 13 year old girl does not have the body structure to support a child . Between getting taken to the hospital for alcohol poising she was proven to be pregnant. They returned Cupcake  back to Dians . This leads to my first question . Why did Dian get the other foster children to beat the hell out of Cupcake when she was 6 months  pregnant? Well I actually don't have a answer . Cupcake did nothing wrong in my eyes , but I guess Dian just didn't want any other problems . She never deserved any of this , not the beatings , not the starvation , nothing. This chapter all I did was cry . Cupcake lost her baby . She is out to get Dian , but not in the way that you might think.

                The words of gossip . No one like to hear people talk about other better yet talk about you .                It brings that hurt and anger out in me .

My reasoning for this picture was the restriction of her words cause me to feel afraid or nervous .

 It feels as if someone were just to watch you in silence.

The reason I choose this saying is because on a very cold night in the middle of  December I got my very first kiss that meant something so special .

      Cupcake is out of control, she has ran away 6 times in total. Each time she was returned home , back to square one with her abusive foster family. During her runaways she has come really far. Cupcake has been hitch hiking  her way to every big name place ,LA ,New York to every small town. To make money on her own  Cupcake has been turning tricks (prostitution). One of the questions I have to ask my self is  why did Mr.Bassinet  give his 13 year old new foster child LSD? I guess some where alone the line he felt like she would tell someone that "cheerleading " was not real, Mr Bassinet was making cupcake do sexual pleasures. In return he was supplying her with all sorts of drugs, LSD,coke,and well of course alcohol . This man is one of the reason cupcake because a drug addict. This leads me to my next question.
Why did  cupcake feel the need to drug her self up ? I believe  that Cupcake  did the to numb the pain , not only mentally but psychically as well. With being raped and beaten all the time im impressed  that she is still alive. With all these new people around her just paying her for sex she must feel so worn down . Kids her age should be outside playing , but instead she is out there fending for her self.

Dear readers,

Durning the last few days I have continued to read A Piece Of Cake. From the last reading response , I have been asked a few questions. Personally I will take this response to answer a couple of the questions. The first question was, how did Cupcake get her name? A short while after giving birth to a chubby little baby girl , she looked down and the first thing she said was Cupcake . So that is what they wrote on her birth certificate. I better mention that her father hated that name ! Him and Cupcakes mother had decided on La'vette , that would be her new name. Shortly after he father and mother passed away she changed her name back , because that is what her mother would have wanted. I truly believe that this name suits her better than La'vette. She is sweet kind and caring. I like to think that each sprinkle on that Cupcake
