I especially remember this day. It was his birthday party. Most kids on their birthday want to hit a pinata, open presents, and eat cake. Not Hunter. He saw a birthday as the perfect opportunity to put together a game of baseball. He needed to try out the new bat he just got. That bat was his baby. I'm pretty sure he would have took it with him to first base if that was legal. Not all the kids had gloves so his parentshad to dig up some old worn out gloves and we'd have to trade between innings. The game didn't last long which was a disappointment to Hunter. He couldn't understand why no one else was as excited as him to play baseball. To him baseball was the best sport in the world and everybody loved it.
Once we picked up all the equipment we walked back to his house and he got a brilliant idea. "Let's play football!" he exclaimed. This caught everyone by surprise. We didn't really want to play football but it was his birthday. Then his Mom came out and explained to him that football wasn't such a good idea because someone could get hurt. I could tell he was distraught that he would now have to resort to normal kid birthday fun.
Well to start I really appreciated your picture. As far as your writing though, it was very well written and logically made sense. I could definately see you in this story. It was very personable. I also liked the line about normal kid birthday fun...Good job!
ReplyDeleteIt was cool how you told a story from someone else's point of view. Some of the points you made about yourself (from someone elses perspective)sounded great. It had good word choice and was very enjoyable to read.
ReplyDeleteThe story was very sweet. You could really sense the emotions. The blog was organized very nicely and made good points. I really enjoyed the pucture and I thought it brought the whole blog together.
ReplyDeleteThe picture was great to see and I liked how you went off of it and turned it more into something personal rather than pulling stuff out of a hat. GOOD JOB!!
