Ivan is being selfish and is distancing himself away from Carmelina after she got pregnant. She feels alone while she's in a tough time while she states "You don't wanna bother" (Martino 232). This shows that she feels like Ivan doesn't care and she has to do everything on her own.

When Bobby was going to his wrestling meet his dad was dropping him off telling him he was going to be there and "he watched the curl around the school driveway, turn right and disappear" (Martino 73) His dad left and did not stay for his meet.

I think Bobby was stressed and wanting to talk to his dad. His dad was busy and he was ignoring because of work Bobby asked, "Can we get pizza tonight? No response from his dad" (Martino 28)

"While Ivan has been working hard and working out for wrestling he is still struggling: "Drilling moves for hours and hours. Thousands of push-ups. Thousands of sit-ups. But I lost" (Martinio 5)."
