In his essay, Gerlach lists several possible effects (impacts) of abandonment on a child. In a well-supported essay, explain how Sal experiences ONE of these effects (emotions). To support this question, first you need to develop a thesis that explains what emotion Sal experiences after her mother leaves, and then choose 3 specific examples from the novel that prove Sal displays this emotion and how she behaves because of this. In other words, you need to prove that your thesis (claim) is true.
