When reading the next fifty pages Sylvia's character gets my attention. Sylvia lets Sonny know for the first time how she feels about Cloyd when Cloyd complains about the toliet paper. "He cars about the toliet paper, how much is used", (50). Sylvia couldn't believe that Cloyd was making such a big deal about how much toliet paper was being used."I don't think I ever know anything like this", (50). Sylvia decided to cook to make Cloyd happy and because of her ethnic background she like to cook, Mexican food in particular. "I knew something was more messed up when Cloyd complimented her on the chili salsa. He might as well have complimented her on the tortilla chips, because she bought them at the store too", (51).
I think Sylvia wanted to really try to be a housewife but she is unhappy and bored. "I'm bored", (72). Sylvia is even trying to make herself enjoy watching TV because she is bored. "What do you watch? she asked, meaning the TV". "I"m trying to like TV", (73). I do think that Sylvia has mixed feelings about her daughter Ceci because at one point Sonny asks his mom, "Don't you wonder how she is?", (74). Sylvia doesn't reply directly and ignores the question. "I've called everybody", (74).
