What my mom did was really drastic, but she did it for a good reason he never asked permission. The only friends I really have is 2 good friends and I barley talk to them because there’s nothing to talk about once high school is over I still have to worry about

An example of how she uses “silence” is she always plans trips to get away when something bad is happening. In the scene where Conrad is resting outside, she heads out to talk to him but when the incident is brought up she quickly changes the conversation. When Beth and Conrad meet in the hall she avoids connecting with her son by telling him to clean his room.

From the start of the book, Dewey Dell behaves indifferent to her mother’s death, due to her desperate need for an abortion. The rest of the family, other than Darl, are unaware of this, and therefore, do not take action to help her.
