Exploration Three

Hi English class 101. My name is Tim Millisor, and I play sports, softball in the summer/fall, and basketball in the winter spring. I also rap to the music I write.

"No," he answered. "I'll be back in two shakes." Scott's dad said as he walked into Sly's with a dollar worth of gas in the tank, with the primary reason being to get another taste of his addiction. Scott's mother sent them to watch over their dad, and not let him out of their sights because of the lack of trust they all had for the alcoholic. He shared this part of the story to explain how deep they had to go to try and stop their father from drinking. They couldn't strop him though, not because they didn't want to, but because there was a higher authority telling them not to come along also. Scott showed alot of courage writing this novel, due to the secret they kept for many years trying to hold it from everybody. He let readers know, this thing can happen to anyone and it's hard to control; which is what stuck out the most to me.

  2. I noticed you chose a quote that was close to the one I picked! But anyway, it does take a lot of courage but I think he also did it because it was going to benefit himself to talk about it. It is like getting all your demons out in the open so you can deal with them.

  4. I agree completely! The secret kept amongst his family for so many years was doing no good for any of them. Writing about it showed his courage.
