TRUE TO THE GAME By TERRI WOODS
pg133-200
Gena a character of spunk. Is a happy person. Her characteristics remind me of a hustler's wife on a movie or real talk "On the streets." Her motivation is the streets. Just by growing up in the projects, makes her want to be out and free to be on her own. Seh couldn't live like her grandmother. Living in some broke down projects with broken windows and shallow walls she had to get out. When she would be out with her friends she new there had to be a different way of living. She wanted luxury, but how will she get that. The streets are "talking." Drug dealer's are the ones that turn her on. When she see's a drug dealer girlfriend, she sees they are treated. Why not be like them she figures. She don't want to be like them, she wants to be better. Gena want's to be known allover. Girl's have nice looking clothes, but Gena want's better looking clothes, they have jewerly, Gena want's better jewerly. Gena was motivated to get out the broke down projects and to live in a better lifestyle. She didn't get there right away but she got there eventually. Gena had it all. The new cars, the house, the coats, the jewerly, you name it Gena got's it. Livinf like she did wasn't the way she wanted. She needed herself a "Hustler," a well being paid hustler at that. She was known as Qua's girl soon later. Being on top was her goal, and she did it. Coming to a suprise to her but she did. But why would she want someone that makes money the illegal way rather than someone that makes money the right way?

Gena doesn't want a man that makes money the legal way because that is the only way that she has ever known. She wants to get out of he hood but she never stopped to think that maybe she can get out on her own and not have to depend on someone else.
Good point Ayanna. I think it is also part and parcel of many people's need for instant gratification. Talk to people who lived through the depression and they have very different values.
