In-class Zeitoun blog (Frame quotation)

Dave Eggers notes that Kathy loved her family so much.  The children were very important to Kathy.  Eggers states that “though she was exhausted, and was being driven near-crazy by her flatulent dog, Kathy was looking forward to a few days in Baton Rouge” (57).  Kathy was so tired, but she insisted driving to Baton Rouge.  Basically, Kathy drove so many hours by herself, so she was too tired.  However, New Orleans was going to be attacked by the hurricane, and it was very dangerous for them to stay.  For her children’s safety she had to send them to Baton Rouge regardless of sickness.  In other words, Eggers shows that Kathy was an excellent mother.  She cared more about the children than herself.
