Tyler+Significant+Passage

“I pointed to the sand below. Maybe if I could get her out of the house, I could, I don’t know, talk to her. It was three thirty, hours still until Walker was expected home. She glanced at the sand then at the portable phone beside her. “I don’t know.” “Take the phone. It’ll work down there. It’s only a few feet. It’s a beautiful day out.” She studied me, looking for an excuse to say no. It would be that—an excuse, not a reason. “Since when to teenage boys want to on the beach with their mothers? When I was your age, you couldn’t get me away from my family fast enough.” Pg 53.

This passage shows how scared Walker has made her. She won't even leave the house to go to the beach which is only a few feet away from the house. Micheal really knows that he has to talk to his mom outside the house. He has to make her not afriad of Walker. This is where is saw how really frightend she was in the story and how she won't even leave the house without his permission. So everything just picks up from this point in the story and things start moving faster and faster.
