Pg:66-85 Analysis:

• It was clear from the beginning, no matter how “nice” the family was to Ben that they didn’t accept him. Since the family couldn’t accept Ben for who he was and show him the love they send him to an institution. Harriet, although she disagreed to, agreed to send Ben to the institution in order to bring the “happiness” back to the family. Later she felt as if she gave up on Ben and couldn’t stand the guilt she felt for giving up. She did what any mother would have done; she brought Ben back from the institution, even though she rejected her family’s opinions.
