She required him to be an academic, teaching him what she could, then sending him to school and policing his performance. The system around him was broken, so in an attempt at love, his mother would make Layman speak intelligently. The struggle between violence and peace is one that scarred his mind and emotions, so that later in life, he still felt the wounds that physical violence caused. Even his mother would often attack him when she disliked his behavior. This willingness to be violent marked his community in school, in the street, and even in his home. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousĪlthough the story of this memoir is not an attempt at pity, the memoirist is honest about the culture of violence in his upbringing.
