pages 34-55


How is Mary affected by the death of Mary Charlene? How is this different from the way Rex deals with it?

The death of Mary Charlene does not have much of an effect on Mary. She thought that god meant for Mary Charlene to die, and she respects god’s choices. Since Mary Charlene wasn’t perfect, Mary thought that she was a mistake that god made, so god took her back. I found it very strange how Mary reacted to her daughter’s death.  Parents are supposed to care about their children no matter what, even if they aren’t perfect. It would make sense for a parent to be very upset when they lose a child, because this would show that they cared about their child. It doesn’t seem like Mary cared very much about her daughter, if she did she would have been upset when she died. The way that Rex reacted to Mary Charlene’s death was more of a normal way for a parent to react. He was very traumatized and it had a long lasting effect on him. Since he was so sad when he lost one of his children, this shows that he is a caring parent. Rex might not be a good parent to his children and he makes a lot of mistakes, but he does care about them. If he didn’t care about his children, he wouldn’t have been so upset when one of them died.
