By reading this page Ruth's character surprised me. I would of assumed she would feel hurt but I did not know her loss would result in depression and great weight loss. Ruth had a better relationship with her mother than any other elders in her life. I believe this is a moment where she showed her weakness. Lord, I was burning with hurt." Ruth relieves plenty of emotions that is not normally expressed when she is with her children. On page 217, " Why couldn't it have been me that died? I would go on long walks and would forget where I was.She was gone. The way it was written allowed me to imagine how Ruth must have felt during that time. The moment when Ruth loses her mother in "The Color of Water" was very emotional and almost brought me to tears.
