Elias’s Reviews > The Jacket > Status Update

A surprising part of the novel was when the Narrator went back to get the jacket his mother had got him that he hated. The insults from his brother made him go to such an extent to toss it into an alleyway. "Later, however, I swiped the jacket off the ground and went inside..." presumably out of guilt. His actions show that he cares about his mother so much to the point of keeping what he thinks is trash for her.
