Walter was in 6th grade and he thought it would be a good idea to hang on to the back bumper of a taxi. The taxi accelerated fast and Walter let go but his shirt sleeve got stuck. He was dragged down the Harlem streets until his jeans ripped. Walter scraped his knees and had nicks all in his body he made his way back home. Walter afraid if his parents found out he put iodine on his cuts and took his clothes off and put on clean clothes then went into his bed . Walter's parents wanted him to go to the kitchen Walter said his legs hurt. Walter went to the kitchen he undid his pants Walter's legs were covered in bruises, cuts, and dried blood. When questioned on how it happened Walter said his mother beat him with a stick.
Florence Dean a half Native American and German was a kind but stern woman, From what Walter says about her it seems like she really cares about her family and was selfless. Florence and Walter had a special bond she would read to him, talk with him, and do things she normally wouldn't do with Walter's siblings. She would hit her children but it wouldn't be on purpose she was disciplining them and teaching them whats right and wrong. Florence was the kinda person who was a mom that everybody would want. Mainly because she was kind and caring but also a person who would seem malevolent and cruel but is doing what's best for you.
