"Our toes were black from wearing boots that weren't waterproof. We had infected earlobes and green rings around our fingers from cheap jewelry. No one ever had a chocolate bar. We'd steal containers of cottage cheese and eat them together in the park," (O'Neill 16).
All of the orphans and unsupervised children with whom Baby is friends live unfortuneate lives. They dont have enough money to wear the clothes that they need, or to buy treats that they deserve. They are children. This shows the extent of their poverty and neglect. Sad.
