 Macon went to Paris for job but he did not know that Muriel was following him. One day Macon's back was hurt that he couldn't move, so he asked Rose for helping.

Reflection:

          After reading this book, my feeling is WTF. Why a man doesn’t know what he wants? What is good for him? And the relationship between Macon Sarah and Muriel confuse me!!! And Macon's brothers and sister are too amazing that they can endure his action.
