This blog post is in response to blog prompt number fifteen.
The image I chose above relates to not only this chapter (4) but also the overall scene of the book. The family is constantly starving, not having enough food to suffice them, which makes them further poor, their stomaches are malnourished. Food is a relative concept that defines your status in society;going furthest back in time, having an abundance of food representing royalty, something that not the average person could afford. I think in a way, Frank resents his parents, as well as his country, for his impoverish state. From reading his words, I can't help but to feel bad for him, and have an interpersonal connection with him being poor. There are some things in life that are unfair, Frank's short end of the stick is with money, kind of like my own. We're constantly struggling to fit into society, but what we forget is that everyone has something holding them back.
