She is in quandary over his death and cannot give up hope that he is alive: “Don’t pretend, I know you don’t believe me about Evan”(Yancey 44). Cassie encounters arguments over his death with her own thoughts. Thinking maybe he escaped the explosion of Camp Haven by a drone, that would be highly unlikely though because they don’t see any drones when they are saved.

Oftentimes when reading texts about liberation, whether the liberation is physical, metaphorical, or otherwise, there is a tendency to expect an overcoming narrative of sorts. Namely, when presented with a figure that is suffering, an audience expects a clean ending. However, concerning memoirs, this isn’t always the case. If anything, overcoming narratives within autobiographical texts can flatten out the nuances and struggles that are presented within, making the arc of the text seem flat and unconvincing. This is far from the case with Jimmy Santiago Baca’s autobiography, A Place to Stand.
