How does the death of Robert Washington affect Gerald and Angel? What advantages did Robbie have that Gerald wished for?

Robbie’s death affects Gerald because how Mr.Washington used to check on them all the time well now he is ripped inside and probably won’t ask about them as much because he is so sad that his son died. Gerald is also affected because Robbie was his best friend and he used to stay over at his house and hang out alot but now he has no one to talk to. Angel is affected too because she had a really good friend who was Kiara and she used to do the same things with her hang out a lot, talk to each other, and sleepover together but now Kiara is ripped too because of her brother’s death and won’t be the same because she is so affected. The advantages that Robbie had and Gerald wished for were a good family that kept each other company and safe with love and peace, Gerald did not care about all the things that Robbie had the only thing he cared about was the great family that Robbie has and wished his family was the same.
