the Berkshires, Catskills, and Poconos. Towards the southern end are

Answer:
Mother/Writer:
1. Disturbed over her son's new development at the age of thirteen.
2. Endeavored to punish her son when he misbehaves.
Son/Teenager:
1. Stubborn and disobedient to the mother
2. Lazy and dirty
3. Ready to withstand his mother
Explanation:

He was also lazy and unkempt. He was a son that was almost ready to withstand his mother. Whenever the mother punishes him for his misbehaviors, he feels like revenging the mother.
