In the book Alabama moon the 10-year-old boy's father fell into the water. Pap broke his foot and his bone was sticking out. The boy had no worry. He knew what to do. But he had to do it fast before it was too late. For example on page 17 it states, "Seeing bone and blood and wounds were nothing to me. I dealt with them mostly everyday killing, skinning, and butchering animals. I only hesitated so that Pap would tell me what to do." This means that he had to do what he could or else bad things would happen.
I had a connection to this book when I read that quote. It made me remember when I was helping my dad work and he cut himself and we had no aid. So I used a tissue that was on the floor and I was worried that it get infected. But luckily it didn't. The reason why I think this is because on page 17 it stated "We saved everything. Even a bloody sock could make a rag to patch clothes." This made me think of that time with my dad. I did all I can.
good job isaac. Your writing makes a little more sense when you reflect on this book. Don't forget to keep the same tense the whole time. present, past, future.
