Withal, Mrs. Fisher didn’t listen to him all of the time. In fact, she didn’t listen to Paul when there was Paul when he told them about the mailbox issue with his brother, Erik. This event later happened in the novel. In addition, in the text it states, “I followed slowly, angry at mom for calling attention to my eyesight. She wanted a tour of the place because she’s nosy and want to see everything for herself” (Pg. 25, Para. 5).
