West Indian parents often dream of having children with successful careers. That is their main goal and they will do anything to make it happen.

They expect the man to be in a position to provide for their daughters adequately.

Martine secretly spies on Sophie and finds out all of her secrets without Sophie’s knowledge consent. That’s what parents do when they suspect that something is going on with their child. Martine knew all of Sophie’s love secrets that were going on in between Sophie and Joseph. Despite that Sophie, who was an adult Martine,Sophie’s mother, would perform a Haitian test on her. This test would allow Martine, to see if Sophie was involved in sexual activity. This test seems to be more like a sexual strategy that Haitian mothers use. Haitian mothers utilize this strategy to prevent their daughters from having sex until the time is right (allegedly). After all of these restrictions and limitations on Sophie’s freedom that the mother put on her Sophie, she became rebellious. All Sophie wanted was to be with Joseph whom she desired the most. One night after the test, while Sophie’s mother was asleep, Sophie went to see Joseph’s house and demanded to get married. Sophie’s action shows how quickly a child can undergo a transformation. A transformation in which a child goes from appreciative to rebellious and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Once the child is fed up with these restrictions and unjustified laws they been set up. They begin to rebel against the mother or father and will break their rules just to get what he or she wants.
