Amazing

"But, in the first place is not my fault if they buried Maman yesterday instead of today..." (p.19)- Why would someone who has lost his mother even care about his job? It´s rediculus that someone would have to say to his boss, that he is "sorry" for missing a day or two at work, because someone close in his family has just died. Personally, I´d be completely destroyed if my mother died. But, at the same time and after reading chapter 2, I concluded that Merasault is maybe excaping from his reality. In a way he may be acting indiferent towards the situation because inside it hurts so much, that he decides to cover up all that emotion and pretend that nothing is really happening. This is of course not healthy. But, I can personally tell you that it is a very easy way to protect yourself and escape. I say this, because I´ve had a personal expirience were something so shoking happened and my inmidiate reaction was staying away from everything and pretending nothing had happened, but the truth was otherwise, and at a point I had to confront my feelings and accept the truth. This is what I believe is going to happen to Merasault in the next chapters. He is going to understand that his mother is gone and that he misses her alot!
