Explanation:
The death of jimmy tom’s father impacts the character development of the grandfather and his grandson by the grandfather trying to keep the grandson safe by warning him and telling him the story of his father and how he had become paralyzed.
This impacted jimmy tom because he went through it because had it been he didn’t go through it in person it wouldn’t have had an impact on his life.
Which is why paragraph 25 states that
“for a moment the old man stared in horror at the twisting fatal tentacles. Then with a hoarse cry roused jimmy tom."
