Jeanette suffered so much, that even at one point, she tried convincing her mother to leave her father because of the trouble he had caused the family already. A child should be able to depend on their parents for food and to be there for them when they need it, and when that part of a child’s security is taken away, it leaves them lost and on their own, free and confused about what to do next.

The second story we will be looking at is “An Invisible Thread”. Here is the background to the stories.“A Simple Act”In a big city like New York, thousands of strangers from many different backgrounds cross paths every day.

Her father left for South Africa to be get more money to support his family, but he comes home useless and more dependent on his family. Darling has never been sick like her father, therefore she cannot relate to him and pretends that she cannot hear her father’s plea.
