“And we’re live in 5…4…3…2…1” the man behind the camera says.
“This is Channel 4 news coming at you with a story of a family car accident. A family of 4 was driving down Maple Drive this morning when a four ton pickup truck hit their Buick. Connor Stacey is at the scene and will give you all the details. Connor” Mrs.Scheind said, this afternoon she is wearing a red dress shirt with her long silky hair pulled to the front.
”Hello, Connor here. As you can tell,” the man said as the camera pans out to see a truck on the road and a car terribly damaged turned over in the ditch, “the man has hit them very hard. The accident killed both parents and one of the children who was only 6. The man’s explanation was that no one ever comes down this way and that was why he was going 60. Even if he had begun to hit the brakes it would have possibly still killed them. The only one left is 16 year old girl who was unconscious and is currently in a coma. The doctors don’t know if she’ll make it.” Connor ended with a sad note. He was upset that he was the one who had to tell the bad news for our small town.
“Thank you Connor. And up next, how you can keep your dog out of the wet snow this year.”

    I personally enjoyed the parts of the book where the narrator describes the times she would spend with her father and his friends at poker nights, which their wives labeled “the liars’ club”. The bond shared between them really illustrates a beacon of light during a dark time for a young child. Her father spoiled her constantly with what he had and genuinely loved her with all his heart. His friends would often say she was too spoiled, but he would constantly stand up for her. He adored her with an unconditional love that makes one’s heart happy.…

    Second Person Perspective

    This novel is told from the perspective of you, the reader, as Nick Hall. This would make this novel told in second person perspective. “The next morning you throw the covers off, lace your cleats, grab your burgundy and blue headband that matches your Barcelona jersey (which you slept in) , throw your clothes in the hamper like he asked you to do two days ago and tiptoe down the stairs.” This texted evidence proves my claim because it shows Nick getting ready for the day but the author uses second person perspective words such as “you” and “your”. If this novel was told in from the perspective of Nick, instead of saying “you” and “your” it would have used word like “I” and “my”.…

    Without a doubt everything we do in life is uncertain. This ambiguous trait of life is what keeps life full of interest, but this also provides significance and value in the real world. However, up front the duality of human nature should be taken into account. Duality in psychology is important for our lives as it is a ‘twofold’ division.

It was a matter of 20 minutes that we had arrived at the hospital to see my entire family huddled around a trifling, little white hospital bed big enough for just his body and no wiggle room.…
