Review:

The Main Character is Raspberry.

Setting: Inner city neighborhood 

Conflict: Raspberry and Her Mom vs. Shiketa and her crew

Interesting Incident: Raspberry and her mom had got jumped 
in broad daylight right out front of her house. It wasn’t a 
stranger who did it. It was Shiketa Nixon, the girl who lives 
two buildings up from them. She’s seventeen but looks 25. 
She doesn't know how to pick up her own stuff. Her mom called 
the police on Shiketa and her friends because they had set a 
mattress on fire just for fun. After Raspberry told her mom to 
leave it alone she went on and did something to her anyway. So 
I guess Shiketa got tired of her mess and picked up a metal pipe 
and hit Raspberry's mom in the head with it right in front of 
everybody.
