A Maggot Gets What a Maggot Wants

I have read a few more chapters of the book, Can't Get There From Here. Maybe stomach pains get worse, but Maggot offer to give her some money after he sells some fake drugs. Later, Maybe meets a man that is willing to help her but she doesn't give him a straight answer, all she says in maybe. So, the man just moves on to find another street kid to help out. While Maybe was roaming the streets she came across a library, and one of the workers, Anthony, gave her some food and some better clothing and said she could come there anytime and ask for him.

Another main character in the book Can't Get There From Here is Maggot. Maggot is one of the only boys except Jewel and OG. He tries hard to make money buy scamming people.  As read in the book "Maggot held out the five dollar bill flat and tight between his fingers. 'Worked like a charm. The sign pulls them in, but you know what really ices the deal? Spelling marijuana wrong. It brings out their the middle-class guilt about the poor getting a crap education." This shows he had a whole entire plan, to trick people into giving him money. Also, stated in the book, "You start with 25 cents worth of aspirin and convert that into sixty bucks worth of roofies that I'll sell at The Cradle for a hundred and eighty. This show is a manipulative person, he is willing to do anything just to make some money, even though he could get in trouble and end up in jail.

Maybe This or Maybe That...

I have been reading the book Can't Get There From Here, I have only read 12 chapters but a lot has happened in the book so far. In the beginning, Maybe, the main character and some other street kids such as Rainbow, 2moro and Maggot are roaming around until they find someone they try to steal money from but end up failing. Later, in a conversation between Maybe, Tears, Rainbow, and 2moro they explain how they became street kids.  Then a man and woman try to help some of them except OG another homeless person but is over 18. No of the kids listen to them because they didn't want to live by their rules. Maybe eventually tries to make so money since she began not feeling well but only made four dollars, which she bought ginger ale to help subside her stomach pain. After all that, Maggot makes some money but selling fake drugs that he would use to buy Maybe some medicine. That is what mostly happened between chapter one to twelve.

The main character Maybe is a very genuine person. Throughout the book this is quite obvious, she does a lot of things to help other people even though she doesn't have much. As stated in Can't Get There From Here,   "...Rainbow said. 'Maybe you could keep enough for the ginger ale and give the rest to me huh?' ...If Rainbow needed the money I was glad to give the rest to her." Also she in the beginning of the she tries to stop the other street kids from steal money from a man. This shows she's genuine because she cares about the other street kids and is willing to help them even though she doesn't have a lot to give.
