Father & Son Argument

^This image was chosen to depict a scene occurring between Buckley, and Mr. Salmon on page 256, chapter 18.^

Buckley was making over the garden that his mother once cared for, and decided that he needed stakes for his tomato plants. He went down to the basement and brought up a box of old, worn things. Inside was a pile of Susie’s clothes. Upon realizing that his daughters clothes were in the box, Mr. Salmon quietly took it out of the box and clutched it close in his arms. Buckley, then asked why he couldn't use the clothes to make the stakes, and his father stood there in shock. Buckley then started yelling at his dad about not getting over Susie's death and the arguing continued. At the end of their loud conversations, Mr. Salmon fell to his knees, because he had a heart attack.

So, this picture was chosen to represent the arguing that was going on between Mr. Salmon and Buckley because it shows a father and son yelling at each other.
