In Jail

When Rosaleen was arrested, Lily broke her out of jail. Do you agree or disagree with Lily’s choice? Why? What else could Lily have done to help Rosaleen? What would you have done if you had been in Lily’s shoes?

I don’t really agree with Lily’s choice to break Rosaleen out of jail. It was a pretty dumb idea I think to break her out of jail actually. When she chose to do this she was not only risking Rosaleen getting in more trouble but with that, the police probably would let the men come back and kill her for sure. Also, when she did this she risked herself of getting caught by T-Ray, which would’ve been terrible for her. And if her father didn’t get control of her the police would have, which would’ve probably been better for her though.

Lil could’ve have done other things to get her out also. In reality she didnt even need Rosaleen to come with her to Tiburon but it is understandable that she wanted someone to go with her. And since she doesn’t really have any friends, Rosaleen was her only choice. To get Rosaleen out of jail she could’ve found a trusted adult to get her out, even though those were hard to come by for Lily, and since she was breaking out a black woman it probably wasn’t to high on peoples to do list. Also she possibly could’ve risked waiting for her to get out of jail, but then when they got home her father would’ve known that Rosaleen was in the deal of running away.

If I was in Lily’s position i probably woudn’t have broken her out of jail on my own. I would have had to find someone to help me get her out. If i didn’t do that then I would of just gone to Tiburon by myself.
