Description of

 

            Through the chapter "Dreaming that a crooked man will straighten up and fly right", I felt like Rick Bragg took a lighter approach. Through the first three chapters, he seemed to let the readers know how his life was and that life wasn't easy, but he got through it. In this chapter if felt like he focused more on the happier times he had. In this chapter, Bragg talks about watching characters on the drive-in screen with love. These characters he grew up on quoting their scripted lines. Somehow the simplicity of his family and his struggles tend to make him more appealing, how his mother couldn't go to the hospital in Anniston because it was too expensive, so driving to Piedmont was what they had to do. This chapter touched the lighter side by describing his curiosity as a young child, sticking a fake berry up his nose. Yet; more importantly, I felt that this chapter stressed the strength that his more possessed and the love she had for her children. The only disturbing piece in this story thus far is that with all the the stressing that is placed on his mothers strength, she still falls into the stereotypical "abandoned" wife. It doesn't make sense to me how a strong woman can still pack up and move her kids and their belongings whenever their father "feels" like being a daddy. Maybe with the continual reading of this book it will become more clear to me.
