“I felt Nauseous the guilt was overwhelming she killed herself in a bathtub.”
However, Artie was absolutely felt guilt about his character and attitude towards her mother. I think the author was trying to informed the readers to know the value of what they have, especially our parents. People should not take their parents for granted, we should always have to listen, respect, and make them happy. The mother’s love for their children is unlimited, therefore, we have to make them proud. I would say that he was in a critical depression, which he has created from himself. “But for the most part I was left alone with my thoughts” I feel like her mother was died in a sorrowful condition. I do agree with the author, because when some left alone, and not getting the support he /or she needs it may lead to suicidal attempts. No one is there to make her happy. “My mother killed herself… she left no note’’ I would say that her mother does not want to let him know how she felt, since he takes here for granted. I think her mother has physical and emotional distress.
Final Reflection, I think we should know how to listening and value our parents. We should also know that the family is our first priority, because when you lose them, you will not get them anymore. I think the reason why Artie is suffering now is because of his dis characters towards her mother.
