Elsie tells Sonny that Homer Sr. thinks that “ [Sonny] [will] be some sort of clerk working for [his] dad, sitting at a typewriter pecking out forms, or writing in a ledger about how many tons got loaded in a day. That's the best your father thinks you can do’’ (50). From this point on, both Sonny and Elsie want to prove to Homer Sr. that his assumptions about Sonny are far from right.

    The sound of metal clicking into place and the black straps of the harness tightening around me immediately makes my stomach tighten with anxiety. I frantically look over my shoulder to see my uncle and Heather, holding video cameras and smiling wide with anticipation. He says something I don’t quite catch through the sound of heavy rain; people chattering amongst each other; and, of course, my own nervous thoughts. I can't help but focus on how the equipment digs into me and how sweaty my hands feel in the too big adult-sized gloves I could likely fit my head into. “You ready?”…
