To Hover means to fly, the only mention of the flying referenced to the mother telling the children she can fly doing mommy duties. Which one child said they seen her do while she Velcro her child's shoe, so that was confusing to me.
This story talks about a couple getting a divorce and how it may have affected the child, or maybe its the bullying he experiences in school. The child takes comfort in a bag of flour that has a knight on it, maybe he feels secure with it, or it may be a friend. The knight can be symbolized as a protector. Then her son jacks talks about death asking about death and tells his school that he had a little brother that died. It seems like this child is just looking for attention, because he's dealing with divorce at home and bullying in school.
I do commend the mother for walking into the playground and actually helping her son get into the barrel to play with the other kids. It does show she's protective of her son. But the ending of the story was off, it states the mother stayed in the barrel and she wanted to tell the teachers about the divorce, I read into it as her wanting to make an excuse for her child's behavior or just wanting to talk about it but there's was no one to talk to

ReplyDeletethe story is about a mother who is separated from her husband and begins to start feel special power as if she is flyig. she belives she is hovering not fully flying but a gentle lift off the ground. i do not belive she is flying because her sons says it in he story that you are not really flying and when she was at the scool she just fell flat on th floor but she considered that hovering i think she makes this up as a way to make her daughter feel as if they are special and carry special power.the mother lets the child carry a bag of flour around so that discedit the mother sanity. i do not belive she is hovering.
