As you can imagine, the lack of food fragments the family. Mary Beth does not exhibit the expected empathy or desperation for her children. Rex offers empty dreams instead of food. The children struggle to comprehend their hunger. The family lives emotionally fragmented and unable to function. Lack of food hinders any progress.
