But it was not to last. On Wednesday afternoon of the
following week, Mama was waiting to talk to me when I got
home from school. I was afraid when I saw her. Her ankle was
taped up, and she sat on the couch with her leg up on a chair.
Next to it was a pair of crutches!
“Mama, what happened?”
“I fell at work. Mrs. Hormann took me to the emergency
room. I can’t work for six weeks until it heals. I must keep my
foot up as much as possible.”
“I’ll start dinner.” My eyes filled with tears, I felt so bad
for her. And I felt bad that I’d made them so upset when my
father saw me and Daniel. Even though I knew I hadn’t done
anything wrong, it still bothered me that I’d been the cause of
such trouble in our house.
It was decided that I’d take Mama’s jobs for her while she
couldn’t work. I wouldn’t go to gymnastics practice; instead,
right after school I’d go straight to the houses Mama cleaned.
The people Mama worked for agreed to this, and I worked at
each house from three-thirty until six-thirty, when Papa came
to pick me up. I wasn’t able to clean their entire houses in this
amount of time, but they told me which rooms were the most
important, and I was able to clean those. Bathrooms were on
the list at every house.
In paragraphs 172–176, Mama’s injury results in more responsibilities and sacrifices for Maya. What stage of the plot do this event and its results fall into? Explain why
