The main character of this book, to start, is called Spaz. I do believe that we are pretty similar in a few traits. He and I both have a tendency to go after what really matters. When Spaz found out about his dying sister he knew that he had to go see her, even though he knew that it was against the rules of the latch boss. I recently found out that a family member of mine was in the hospital. As soon as I heard that the first thing I did was make sure I could get myself over to the ICU to see her. I knew she couldn’t see me, or hear me, but I knew that she would want me to be there so I was. And I believe that was how Spaz felt when he got the message of his sister.
Also I think that his general fear of the unknown comes into play in my life as well. I have a horrible fear of getting myself in over my head. In fact a lot of times I will tell myself not to do things that would probably benefit me only because I am afraid of having to deal with the new people. He is afraid to travel through the latches, let alone with an old man and a little boy that he doesn’t know very well. He is very uncomfortable and untrustworthy as I see myself being very often. I’ve had some bad experiences with people that have led me to take a little longer to open up with people.
God these new versions are so much shorter. I may have to greatly exceed the limit a few times this quarter. Which is surprising coming from me.
