“I never told you, mother, that if i can ride my horse, and get there, then I’m absolutely sure. Oh, absolutely! Mother, did I ever tell you? I am lucky.”
“No, you never did.”
I’m going to almost cry in this part that Paul told her mother when Paul was dying. Paul is a boy who has special talent. Paul need his mother's love, but he didn’t get it until he died. And he used his talent to get attention from his mother. But, unfortunately, in spite of his effort to be lucky person to get interest from his mother, his mother thought his talent made their family’s image down and told him stop doing. And his mother said to his son very unkindly when he asked her did he ever tell her he is lucky, she answered that he did not tell her before he is lucky even it was last conversation between Paul and her . That means she did not recognize his mind that natural mind of children that want to receive love of their parent until he died.
This conversation includes two important meaning. One is that it presents why Paul did the gambling, another thing is that it presents how terrible his mother is. Paul gamvled to get attention from his mother, but he failed and died. And his mother who always try to keep her image up, did not know his son's mind ever.

Yes, I also thought that this part was the saddest part in the story. Especially in the movie, I felt so sad when Paul said the part because he looked so happy that he could finally prove he was a lucky person.
The common has a very clear observation about the conversition between the last dialog about Paul and his mother. However, the middle part in this common has some long sentences that cause confusing. May be u can try to divided ur long sentences in an efficency way.
Grammar: 1. Paul need his mother's love. 2. He used his talent to get attention (not interest) from his mother. 3. unkindly, not meanly 4. between Paul and her 5. Paul gambled to get attention from his mother.
Amy,
The last paragraph was the most powerful in your blog. You showed that his mother did not understand him and for that reason, she lost something very precious to her.
Agree!
Her mum should learn where to focus on mostely, but money. Familyrealationship is the most important thing in the world, her mum should realize that as children's mum. Shame on her, that only felt regret when her son, the one who always want to help his mum and satisfy his mum died....
