Long Answer
1. The word genesis means “origin,” and is often associated with the beginning of something. The protagonist’s name reflects her intent to become a new person at the end of the novel and suggests that this is only the beginning of her story. It underscores that this is the story of a girl who is in the process of evolving and becoming. (Various chapters)
2. Her dad finally tells her how proud he is of her and, had he done this in the beginning of the novel, it likely would have been enough for Genesis. Now, however, she says, “Dad […] how you gon’ say that—now? […] You told me I didn’t take after you. You told me that plenty of times.… ‘You ain’t nothing like me,’ you said. Made me hate looking like you! Made me hate looking like…like me” (355).
