Memory Keeper’s Daughter, Brett Pallas. Post 2 Ill
April 2nd, 2009 — 02:16 pmI found this quote when Paul at the age of six broke his arm at the party.
“You siad nothing would happen, ” Norah said, ” and now he has a broken arm. Just like that. It could have been his neck. His back.” Pg, 154
This raised questions for me about Norah. Since Norah’s daughter “died’ it seems that she is overly reactive and overly protective about her son Paul. Also the seperation between David and Norah has grown greatly. David now resorts to photography has his love.
Who’s fault do you think Norah’s and David’s seperation falls upon. David? For making the decision to “kill” the baby six years ago. Or. Norah? She seems to be holding on to this loss too much.
Why do you think that Norah is so overly protective about Paul? She makes him take off a necklece (how do you spell that) because she think he could trip and hurt himself with the necklece (?) on! Talk about crazy.
