At the Carlsons’, Cathy and her father argue over M&M again. Mr. Carlson says that “M&M…is a sensible kid” (pg. 104), and Cathy cries, “Then why didn’t you ever tell him so?” (Pg. 105.) This is again an examination of how ineffective spoken words/communication can be. What Mr. Carlson says does not really reflect what he feels, and vice versa; what M&M perceives from Mr. Carlson’s words and general feelings is yet another layer of interpretation.

You have too many questions here at one time.
