in the story sweet potato pie the people show compassion, wisdom and insight in many different ways. Charley for example is a character that shows immense compassin towards his young brothers (children) and espesssialy related to buddy.Charley shows these aspects to buddy by being a great incentive to him in being "somebody" which means to the poor people of the story, to be someone with education , coolege degree, wealthy , not working on the farms with your phisical strengh only like charley and his parents did.
Lil is the older sibling of the family (older than Charley) and that also took care of her younger brothers.The one who would feed them, play with them, show compassion , wisdom and insight to them by giving up a a school education so that she could help her parents and Charley by assuming the function of being the "mother" of her younger siblings. She would also punish them when done something wrong, so by these statements you can take the conclusion that Charley and Lil are only teenagers and already are very mature which shows their wisdom,compassion and insight towards their younger siblings that live in the poor community (farms).
