“I spoke of his mother; told him that I had seen her not long before I came aboard. He did not answer.” (Davies 146) However it is also this relationship that causes a large shift in the ways of Magnus.

It talked about his mother and her protective ways.

Chris feels as though he does not belong because he found out that everything his parents had been telling him was a lie. This disturbed his identity, and made him feel as though he no longer belonged to his family.
