    O Brother Where Art Thou Chapter Summaries

    A: In the clip of “O Brother: Where Art Thou?”, three escaped prisoners seek help from a blind old man on the railroad. The man speaks of the wondrous sights the prisoners will experience on their journey. Despite his blindness, the old man saw beyond physical limitations into the futures of the three men.

How does Kidd depict the mother-daughter relationship, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of this relationship?…
