What effect does the sound of her father’s crying have on Lizabeth? Support your answer with evidence from the story.

The sound of her father's crying disturbs Lizbeth greatly..... it rocks her world. She'd always seen her father as the epitome of strength, and now she had to come to terms with the chink in his armor. She was bewildered and frightened.

The world had lost its boundary lines. My mother, who was small and soft, was now the strength of the family; my father, who was the rock on which the family had been built, was sobbing like the tiniest child. Everything was suddenly out of tune, like a broken accordion. Where did I fit into this crazy picture? I do not now remember my thoughts, only a feeling of great bewilderment and fear.
