Blog#3:Quarter 4: Tender Bar

As we continue throughout the story, we find out about the life of Moehringer's life. As a child Moehringer had always wanted to see his father, whom he called the VOICE. The Voice was funny to him and was heard on the radio a lot, preaching. According to him. We learn from him the personalities of his mom and grandpa and how they don't approve of each other. She was unable to pursue her dreams of going to college because of the money factor. For that reason, she always wanted Moehringer to complete what she couldn't do. The mom shows herself as someone who puts pressure on a kid for what she didn't accomplish, for what she couldn't do but what she wants her kids to achieve for her. This can play an important role in Moehringer's development because we might see her not let him be able to take on his own goals. This is the reason why he lives in the Shit-House. This can play a significant role since his grandfather's scrooge like attitude might prevent him from achieving his goals. This also creates problems with his mom and his grandpa since they don't like each other.
