The chapter started off with Layes visiting home, and his mother had changed things up in his hut to create and enviroment that to be European. However as her son Camara did things that hid mother did not aprove of bringing girls in his hut. Camaras hut is close to his mothers and his mother expects to bond with her son and other women are distracting him from the important women who will always be in his life. Camara is now at an age where things annoy him and his mother was one of them because he is now a man and he is responsible for his own actions.
This takes us back to chapter 8 where it was a bittersweet feeling moving into a new hut and getting new clothes and being detached from his mother and now he finds his mother to be controlling, and annoying. Also this brings back his mothers feelings towards her son and how he had grown up so fast that she is not ready to let go yet, she feels as if this is still in little boy and she will always feel this way deep inside.
Also in this chapter Layes friend Check had gotten sick and Camara had seen that he was growing sicker and sicker, however Check was sure he was fine and was in denial. Medicine had failed him and his friend passed away passed away and Camara had nostalgic feelings and started to remember things about their childhood.
