Kaity summarizer

In the first couple chapters you get an overview of Francie Nolan's life. A girl who lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn where she is poor and explains about her mother Katie Nolan and her brother Neeley Nolan. Her mother scrubs the floors in their apartment building and her father Johnny is a drunk. She also talks about how coffee is a luxury in there household and they get three cups a day with milk. Francie dosent like it, but her mother gives it to her anyway because she said its good for poor people to waste things sometimes. She goes to the library in the second chapter and decsribes it as "old and shabby", but still brings back book sand reads them on her fire escape. She sits there and observes her neighbors Frank, Bob, and Flossie Gaddis.
