What is the personality of Jonas's mother? Provide two quotes from the text.

Jonas' mother is sympathetic to the feelings of others.

"Oh, no," Mother murmured sympathetically. "I know how sad that must make you feel."

Mother is compassionate and serious about her work. She feels responsible when things don't work out.

Someone who she hoped had been adequately and fairly punished, and who had been restored to his place: to his job, his home, his family unit. To see him brought before her a second time caused her overwhelming feelings of frustration and anger. And even guilt, that she hadn't made a difference in his life.
