One Crazy Summer tells the story of three sisters who travel to Oakland, California, in 1968 to meet the mother who abandoned them. Eleven year old Delphine is like a mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. She's had to be, ever since their mother, Cecile, left them seven years ago for a radical new life in California. When they arrive from Brooklyn to spend the summer with her, Cecile is nothing like they imagined. source: Amazon.com

February 4th - Alike and Different
Are Cecile and Delphine alike? How? How are They different?
They are the same because they are both uptight to the girls. Delphine she is different than Cecile (mom) because she takes better care of her sisters than her mom does in other words a better mom than her mom.
Cecil is mean and Delphine has the attitude. I think Cecil is mean because she would not let them in the kitchen to eat or drink and she gave them an air sandwich. Cecil and Delphine are both mean and rude around the other girls. Cecil also took all of their money. Delphine is always bossy and gives the attitude to everyone. Cecil does not like to cook for the kids so she sends them out to eat all the time. They are different because Delphine cares about the girls and Cecil does not.
I think that Delphine and Cecil are the same in some ways because they both are kinda mean, secondly they both are uptight. The way they are different is because Cecil don't take care of her kid and she abandoned them , but Delphine takes care of her sisters and she's not even their mom, but she didn't abandon them like the way CECILE did.
They are the same because they both have a bad attitude tored people. They are different becaus Delphine take very good care of her sister than Cecile does. Another reason how they are different is Delphine protects her sisters and Cecil doesn't even pay attention to them.
I thought one similarity for Cecile and Delphine is they are both kind of O.C.D because if you look back to Rally for Bobby it shows them both kind of arguing about the rally cause Delphine doesn’t want to go to the rally but Cecile wants her and her sisters to go even though they don’t want to. A difference is Cecile is in charge but the thing is she shouldn’t be because she isn’t a good mom cause she treats her kids like poop, and Delphine is not in charge.
