Jackson Katz’s eye-opening diction elaborates on the idea of men’s violence by using phrases like “silence is a form of consent” and “need adult men in power to prioritize these issues”.

As a result of the malevolent of both sides, Claude does not know where to side himself with. Bump writes to show readers that the proponents of abuse are not just of the physical and mental variety. Institutional abuse plays a role in the way that people are conditioned to think, the way a certain group of people act affect the choices that a person is going to make. This ties in expertly within the story and the real world too, Chicago is known
Instead of the conflict of the story being between a husband and wife, the conflict is between a mother and a daughter. In the beginning of the story, we can see the obvious conflict between the two. The mother is what one might consider to be strict or abusive or maybe even just tough love. Many times, throughout the story, the mother is said to have hit or choked her daughter. Because of this, the daughter has turned into a disobedient girl and will do anything to go against the wishes of her mother.
