1. In the Prologue, how does Hank explain that his life was not easy as a child?
Hank was the son of professors who moved around a lot. He was an only child to parents that did not seem suited to having children. He was a noisy and energetic kid, always full of questions. His father just did not seem to understand him, or get any enjoyment out of being a father. His mother loved him and gave him some attention, but was not an overly motherly woman.
2. What did Henry, as his parents called him, really want when he was a child? How did he go about convincing them to fulfill his dream?
