Boogie is with Grace in the childrens court, because he was stealing things. They get feelings of hatress from the others against the Maoris. Jake hates Boogie, because he doesn’t fight, is smart, kind, sensitive, tall and hates violence. But Nig wants to become a Brown Fist.

She has clothes everywhere in the house, smoke and beer, that she could leave everytime.
So she gets drunk in backyard. Thinks about Grace and that she is mysterious and quiet. Then about what music means to them oll: Romance, sentiments, Maori.
+ Maori (befor Pine Block): Shy, musicial, share things, passion, style, laid-back, humour, no material possessions, everything in heart.
-Maori (now): Beer, fists, passion of fight
The kids are for her more important then food. Jakes wake up and Grace come home crying. Grace and Betz hold each other, but they feel like strangers. They want to save money to go visit Boogi. Jake leaves and Beth drinks more, remember half drunk half in phantsies, like Moaris have been: War, warrior, savages, thoughtness, rudunant, laughter. She dances to her favorit music and Grace watch her.
Chapter 6: Jake and the broken of hearts and spirits (das Kapitel hani nöd so tscheggt)
Jake lives in a physical world, where fists and violence are most important. He thinks of Beth and that she is still there, although she has now to cope with olny the half of the money. He drives with friend away from Pine and feels like a king. Houses chanke and get nicer, what make Jake get ill, feel observed and so he has a quarrel with his friend only about the rid light. He thinks that the old and the new Maoris are ‘the same underneath’.
Cold world of ‘McClutchy’s’. There he has a collision because of the music -> mess and fight. Jake is never sure, who he is. Thinks of shy and scared Maoris, because of the two singers. Thinks of Boogie. Feels like a chief ‘together we stand, together we fall’, they have hope without understanding. If they are drunk, there are changes.
