I predicted that we would get to hear a story about or meet Mr. Potter's mother within the next few chapters. My prediction was somewhat correct. Mr. Potter's sister, the narrator first started off by telling about her mother. Her mother was 16 when she had her and when she turned 25 Nathaniel Potter had another child with another woman. This woman was Mr. Potter's mother. They tell us about the mothers of Nathaniel's kids as a whole. They had a one room house with four windows where all of his children lived and their mothers. They had no choice because Nathaniel could not always gather enough fish to support everyone so they were very limited as to what they could afford. It took a lot of unity for all of these people to co-exist under one roof but they managed to do it. It was extremely hard for them because Nathaniel Potter had all daughters until Mr. Potter came along so he had a lot of people to take care of. Mr. Potter's mother spent a lot of time with him when he was a child to make him strong with the intention that he would be a fisherman like his father. This never happened but we learn that his mother was very caring and loving.
