Eveline’s situation influenced her to make the right decision to stay back home and not to leave with Frank. Eveline realized the importance of what family means, and running away from home wasn’t the best way to solve family issues. Also, Eveline’s main reason to stay back home was to see the family back the way it was when their mother was alive. This entire situation influenced Eveline in deciding wisely to stay home and keep the family together again. Eveline later understood that no matter what the situation in the family is, keeping the family together and not running away from the problems is the best because family will always come first.
