“I haven’t enjoyed one bite of this dinner because of your
constant directions on how to eat it. It’s you that makes me rush through meals
with your hawk-like attention to every bite I take,” (Williams 1237). This quote helps to characterize both Amanda
and Tom. It shows toms frustration with
his life. It also shows the friction
that has developed between Amanda and Tom.
Amanda is a very overbearing character.
She cares a great deal about her kids but does not give them enough
personal space. She seems overbearing and
this is shown by his impatiens with her. It is also shown that she does this continually
because Tom mentions that she ruins not just this meal. Tom is either really impatient
or Amanda corrects him at every meal. This
reminds me of the times I have been annoyed by my mother nit picking what I am
doing.
