IN this section of the memoir, young Wolff is embarking on a mission to rid himself of his old ways and to totally reinvent himself anew. It's only fitting since he and his mother are prospecting for new lives and have abandoned their old lives back in Florida for uranium riches.
But in his first step to achieve this "reinvention" of himself, his concoctions runs into its first obstacle, his mother, who demands that he need not alter his name for he will soon inducted into the catholic faith in her bid to convert themselves from being protestants. He eventually wins her over as his plans perfectly fit into her plans for achieving self-sufficiency and independence from her uncharacteristically wealthy ex-husband back in Fl. She feels in pursuing this gamble for uranium riches, if it ever pays off, she will have made a point in which her former man would not either miss nor disregard. And this "Uranium Rush" would provide the shortest time possible to exact her retribution, sort of soft retribution.
what other developments in the story do you see? IS your take of this section similar or different than I's ?

Frst 15% huh? u'r gettin der man. Congrats.
You know, I'm gonna respond to myself because I can really respond to the query raised.
I did observe some other simple yet perplexing, well, not perplexing, just overhyping, events in there. Like the story of the enigmatic and eccentric fella that jumps into the scene and his perplexing relationship with Wolff's mother.
I understand why you wouldn't cite this part because the story is an overarching story of stories in and of itself with fertile and not-so fertile stories of everything in there. Every person has a story behind them.
No, I didn't see any other development in the story so far.
So I think you hit the right spot. Everything you pointed out true.
