How does reading this information about Bernard Malamud add to or change your understanding of the story?

Answer:

As Bernard Malamud, George doesn't have a mother and his family has an economic problem and they are both immigrants.

(Start a new sentence) the difference (between them is) that George just knew he had a problem but he didn't do anything to solve the problem, while Bernard knew his problem and he tried to solve it.(16)
