Bones

I can't imagine what it would be like to go through life without my dad, and that is probably why I walked away feeling very sad after reading the the story, "Bones," by Pat Carr. The story describes a family that is struggling and very sad because they are dealing with the loss of their father who died in a car accident . So it is really hard for the family in this story. The mom is working two jobs . The boy Mike, and his sister, Anna, are taking it very hard.

Although both kids in the story are taking their father's death very hard, it is Mike who is having the most struggles. He is always getting in fights with other kids . I guess I could not blame him. I know if my dad died I would act out as well. I love my dad very much. We do every thing together . We go to movies ,foot ball games and fishing together. He is always there for me , and I'm always his first priority . Also he is really smart . He knows everything, especially when it comes to math. I swear he invented it.

Even though my dad has a lot of responsibilities, he always takes time to listen to me. I could not imagine who I would go to for advice if he was not around. If I ever have a problem , or a bad day at school , he always cheers me up . Some how ,my problems do not seem too big anymore.



Although I love my dad very much, we still have are feuds. Sometimes he pushes me really hard . He expects a lot out of me. Mostly when it comes to getting good grades and preparing for my future.
