The not yet invisible man is asked to drive a white man called Mr. Norton. While driving through an unknown street they encounter a log cabin. Jim Trueblood and his family live in here. Once Mr. Norton is told that the daughter is pregnant by her father, he is anxious to talk to Trueblood.
This man tells Mr.Norton how it was all because of a dream. He explains how the wife attacked him once she woke up and realized what he was doing. With surprise, the mother reacts aggressively and with reasons she reaches for his double-barrel shotgun. The man tried to stop her but she was so angry, she was protecting her little girl. Nothing could stop her. She throws things at him and finally, she gets an ax. With the recent sharpened, Kate cuts Jim Trueblood´s face.
This fight of protection, brings to mind a book we read in the past, The Road. The father has been fighting along with his little boy to survive. They don´t have food and the situation is very dangerous. Everyone wants to eat them. In a part of the book, the little boy and the father are in trouble because they are being attacked by a hungry human. The goal of this carnivore is to kill the boy and eat him. The father, just like Kate, protects his little child and kills the threat.
Both of this parents, are willing to go to any extreme just to protect their children. From hurting the husband or killing a stranger, the important thing is both of these children will be safe thanks to the strength of their parents.
