Chapter 14

Mbaya the housekeeper returns

Now, this far in, Tidwell mentions he has a dog

touching story of dependence when Mbaya leaves - Tidwell realizes how much he depended on Mbaya, as help and as a friend (stresses the importance of friendship), though I wonder why he only spends this one chapter on his best friend

*In contrast, Bek and I did our own work. It makes me laugh that he can't cook or wash. We took pride in the fact that we could it ourselves.

Pg 205-6: stages of grief for his friends absence; well written, articulated, presented

this is now my favorite chapter
