Profile
Curtis Wesley Wilkins is an 11-year old boy who lives in the inner city with his parents, Greg and Diane, and his younger brother Barry, whom Curtis regards as a brat although others regard Barry as a charming young boy.
Curtis frequently goes to his father to either beg him for money or get him to quit smoking, with little success at either. Curtis always plays rap music loudly which prompts complaints from the unseen neighbors and from his father. Greg has a real hatred towards rap music, and he loves to listen to Motown music, which, naturally, Curtis hates very much.

And her proud ephemerals,

A new genesis were here.”
