Myrna has a hard time dealing with her sons past and his present life after prison. Myrna blames herself, because of her son’s crime in the past. Myrna had visited her son, Kenny, everyday even though she leaved far away from prison. She stopped her visits, because she got ill. Instead she wrote him letters, but they were trivial letters, more like notes. In the text Myrna wish that Kenny never were born. She is ashamed of him. Myrna thinks that she has to do favours for God, and she want God to forgive her because of her son. She thinks it is her fault that Kenny has become the person he is. Myrna avoids any social contacts with men and sex.
Myrna still loves her son, but must of all the four-year-old memories she got left of him. Myrna can’t mention her son, when she talks with people, because she is embarrassed of him. Myrna tries to escape from the past, to get away from her son’s mistake. Myrna can’t trust him, because she doesn’t know him anymore. Kenny is not that person he was four years ago, and Myrna takes it hard. Myrna doesn’t believe in that people can change. From her point view he is a rapist, and not her loving child anymore. Myrna thinks it is Gods will that he has become that person, and it helps on her blame. She disgusts him, and she doesn’t want him to touch her. When she looks at his face, she knows he is apart of her forever. Kenny has the same freckled face like her own, and maybe has her raised been wrong.
I think she blames herself for what Kenny did, and I would had blamed myself to. I would have wondered if my love hadn’t been good enough. You teach your children the world and their manners, and maybe she wasn’t good at the mother role. Myrna hasn’t been a good role model for Kenny, because Kenny’s father had boated her up in frond of Kenny. Myrna is weak, because she is alone. She has lost her man and now she has lost her child, but apparently she doesn’t want Kenny back as her son. She takes comfort in the thought, that her trust in God will help her through the life.
Myrna is afraid of that Kenny will come back and spill salt in her house again.
Kenny has been in prison, because he raped a girl named Crystal Roberts. He has been there in four years. Kenny told Myrna a lie, which was fictitious. Myrna bought the lie. It was first when the police had found ever dents and Kenny was convict guilty for the rape, that Myrna realized it was a lie.
Kenny has grown up trough a poor childhood, and he has seen his father beat his mother. After the mother had leaved his father Buddy, she had raised Kenny alone.
Kenny wants to make it all perfect for Myrna, because he searches for his mother’s forgiveness. He has done one mistake, and Myrna can’t see any change in him. Kenny wants to forget what had happen four years ago, but he it doesn’t seems like, that he is sorry. Kenny convinced Myrna, that she was innocent. Now Myrna can’t get the terrible picture of her son raping an innocent girl, out of her head. She is a mother with a bleeding heart, who has lost her son and only got the memories left of him.
In the end Myrna leaves a note for Kenny. She can’t handle the situation, with her son scuttle around in the house. Kenny is being too nice to her, and he tries to make up to her.
I think it is the right thing Myrna does. Kenny has become another person, and thinks that every thing is forgotten now. I totally understand the mother, and why she cannot look him in the eyes anymore. It must be hard for her, because some how she blames herself. If I were the mother I would had done exactly the same thing. A thing like that is hard just to forget, I would think that some how my raising would have something to do with that my child had become a rapist.
The picture I got of the mother was not only positive. I think she is naïve, and afraid of what others might think about her. She is confused, and she uses faith to take her sense of guilt away.

Myrna thinks it is Gods will that he has become that person, and it helps on her blame/IT TAKES THE BLAME AWAY FROM HER. She disgusts him, and she doesn’t want him to touch her. When she looks at his face, she knows he is apart of her forever. Kenny has the same freckled face like her own, and maybe has her raised been wrong/ DID SHE BROUGHT HIM UP BADLY ?.
I think she blames herself for what Kenny did, and I would had blamed myself TOO. I would have wondered if my love hadn’t been good enough. You teach your children the world and their manners, and maybe she wasn’t good at the mother role?. Myrna hasn’t been a good role model for Kenny, because Kenny’s father had BEATEN her up in FRONT of Kenny. Myrna is weak, because she is alone.

It was first when the police had found (ever dents) FORSTÅR IKKE DETTE and Kenny was convict guilty for the rape, that Myrna realized KENNY'S STORY WAS A LIE.
Kenny has grown up THROUGH a poor childhood/KENNY CHILDHOOD WAS POOR IN MANY WAYS, he HAD seen his father BEATEN his mother. After the mother had lEFT his father Buddy, she had raised/BROUGHT UP Kenny alone.

I UNDERSTAND IF MYRNA LOOKS FOR ANSWERS. WHAT DID SHE DO WRONG IN THE WAY SHE BROUGHT HIM UP? DID SHE MAKE HIM A RAPIST?
The picture I got of the mother was not only positive. I think she is naïve, and afraid of what others might think about/OF her. She is confused, and she uses faith to take her sense of guilt away.
Jeg er kommet med nogle forslag til ændringer. Jeg synes du fortæller mange gode ting, men din tekst mangler struktur.

Værsgo det må vist være den eneste fejl som Alicante ikke har rettet.
