-
It's a hook.
-
I would suggest that this little passage
-
I just read to you
-
tells us, in part, why.
-
It's a moment when a child realizes
-
that the person who gave him life can revoke it.
-
His mother, who gave him life,
-
can take that life away from him.
-
It's a profound sense of jeopardy--
-
physical, mortal jeopardy--
-
and I want to point to those "huge, wobbly, white bags,
-
like the full udders of cows."
