As Wright describes his mother’s paralysis his youth was being taken away from him. He used to be a happy-go-lucky kid, and now he is going to have to fulfill the responsibilities of an adult and take care of the family. Wright is dumbfounded by his mother’s paralysis because he has always counted on his mother to supply for the family, and now he is going to have to contribute and provide for the family. He went through a lot of emotional pain and he stated, “I went through the days with a stunned consciousness, unable to believe what had happened.” For his whole life his mother had provided for the family, and Wright was in a state of emotional shock and can’t quite understand what will happen in the future. At one point in chapter three he talks about how he wanted to focus on one day at a time because he doesn’t know if it will be his mother’s last. Wright had really come away from his mother’s paralysis as a bigger more responsible person, and with a new understanding of life and faith.
