In these chapters Jeannette tells her mother that she should leave her father so they can collect welfare. Jeannette thinks that her father is dragging the family down because of his drinking and Jeanette, her mother, and her siblings should all leave him. A few weeks later a man from the government comes to their house concerned about child neglect. Jeannette answers the door and lies to him and says her parents have jobs and their is no neglect and makes him leave. She tells her mother this and then her mother paints a picture of a drowning woman and then agrees to get a job.
I don't understand why she would paint a picture of a drowning woman, it makes no sense to me.
