Chris's Gardner's Pursuit of happiness chapters 1-2

This book is a auto biography called Pursuit of Happiness about a man named Chris gardner. So far in the book Chris is still a child and he mostly talks about his parents. His mom was a teacher and always forced him to do good in school. As the book progresses you can see that Chris is actually smart and as a child he already had a long-term plan for the rest of his life. Since his dad left the family he never knew who his dad was so he swore to himself that when he grew up he was going to do anything and everything he can to make sure his son knew who he was. I can see already that this book is a very emotional book. Even early on in chapter 2 Chris was worried about his mom who slept in a living room on a couch with he shoes on in case she had to get grab the baby and get all the kids out of the house. If you haven't noticed by now Chris's family was very poor and his mom was barely able to afford a house. So, far in the book his family is struggling and struggling very bad. I fear that later in the book something will happen to his mother because she is brought up many times in the book and Chris is very worried about her and I think that means something in the book at this time.
