poetry responce bronx masquerade

In the story Bronx masquerade i can infer that Chankara dose not want to be like her sister who has been abused by her own boyfriend. In the story Chankara gets smacked by her boyfriend then she writes a poem called "Bruised love". The poem speaks about how Chankara found her sister bruised by her boyfriend and she says that she will never be that way and in that situation. The way that she feels in this poem is angry, because she doesn't like the way her sister is being treated and also she is angry because she knows that her boyfriend might not really love her and treat her good like hes supposed to treat her. The meaning of this poem is of a girl who doesn't want her sister or her to be treated in that way also the meaning of the poem is about bravery because in the story when she go smacked by her boyfriend she told him that she will never be that way and told him to get out. I think that she named the poem "bruised love" because her sister loves her boyfriend that hits her and she loves him but she gets hurt so its bruised love.
