The fact that Jack tells the story makes me look at it in a different way. Jack was always questioning things and dint let any one mess around with him. His parents were the total opposite of Jack.

Jack tried to act like he didn't care and sight seeing was stupid but in fact he was a little upset. If his mom would of told the story she would have had a better perspective of things around them, because that was the kind of person she was. It made me look at the whole book and question things that Jack did other then complain.

When he was walking down the street a person bumped into him and he got mad and wanted to fight him. A person near by said, "forget about it, it was and accident", then he paused for a couple of moments and thought to himself a
