Quote:
"My mother smiled. 'I knew my baby wasn't like that.' I looked at her. 'Like what?' 'Like those awful people. Those awful dead people at the hospital.' She paused. 'I knew you'd decide to be all right again.'"

Esther's mother does not want Esther to be crazy. Esther's mother likes things in a nutshell. She doesn't like anything out of the normal, it makes her feel unsecure. Esther's mother is a woman, and acts like a typical woman. She wants everything to be a story tale, but it's not.
