Also if they snuck out to get food they would be in a life or death situation. It is very sad to think about how this innocent family was dieing of starvation because it was such a tough challenge to get food. Its obvious that it was a hard challenge to get food. One more challenge that the Jews/Ben went through is leaving his family behind.

To begin with, Ben’s mom has always stayed with her family that she is with now her whole life. On the contrary, Ben’s dad had what I call a “side family”. What I mean by this is that, in the book Gifted Hands it stated that Ben’s dad was cheating on his mom with another woman, and family. Also Ben’s mom was always there for Ben and supports him with all of the decisions. On the other hand, his father is never there to even be there

At the beginning of the arrival, Ben and his family stayed at their house. One night, there are gunshots and screams heard coming from their neighbors house; Ben’s mother demands them to blow out the candles which lit the rooms and his father told Ben that “If anything happens to me, take care of your mother and baby sister,” (Page 117).

Immediately Fiela discovers the wandering three year old white boy, Benjamin, on her doorstep, she accepts him as one of her own children and takes him to live with her family. Benjamin continues to live with the Komoetie’s for nine years. His identity at the time of discovery is unknown to the reader, but is insignificant in comparison to the identity that he develops while living with the Komoetie’s. By the time he is twelve years old, he thinks and acts like a natural member of the family, perhaps he thinks like a colored which the census takers actually confirm later.
