This story is told by a mother who is afraid of her own son. The story is actually mother’s answer to the letter she has got but the reader doesn’t find out whom the mother is writing to. In the letter the mother tells about her son which she hasn’t seen in a really long time. She tells about reasons that made her scare him.

I think that mother’s evidences are convincing. For example the cat: when the son was 15, there was a cat in their family. But one day this cat disappeared and the next evening the neighbour came to tell for the mother that two boys had done some really bad things for the cat and that probably one of these boys was the son. This is quite greepy. How is so young boy able to cause his own cat’s death on purpose? It’s really understandable why the mother is scared, especially when she also founds a bloody T- shirt from her son’s car.

Mother’s way of telling the story makes the reader a bit sad. It is somehow so touching. She calls her son ”honey” almost every time she speaks to him so she must love him really much. It’s so sad that the mother does everything possible and still the son treats her like rubbish. It’s like the son didn’t have any heart at all.

Even though mother writes that she wished nobody could find her, I think she is still happy that someone wrote for her. This also makes the ending a bit more happier because I think  she got the feeling that someone cares about her. In my opinion the mother is relieved when she finally can told someone about these things. She tells about her feelings really openly so the person who she is writing to must be someone reliable. I also think that the mother writes because she wants to tell the story from her point of view. She wants to tell reasons for her behaviour, for example changing her name. She wants to get her voice heard.
