The book I will be reponding to the book named breaking point,
My thougths on this book is i is very emotional so far with the dad not being there and plus not anwsering any of his son's 20 calls.
I would not be very happy if my dad was some stupid asshole to their kid and not talk to them for that long. I would not even attempt to call if I was the kid. He has his own life and he can do what he wants .

Alex,
You have made a great connection with this book so far. We are lucky to have better realtionships with our parents than this kid in the book.
Several years ago, I taught a kid who was in a pretty similar position as the kid in the book. His parents both lived in the same part of the city, but his mom had full custody. One day, he saw his dad drive by and he started to wave frantically. He followed his dad home on his bike, but his dad refused to acknowledge him. I suggested that maybe his dad hadn't seem him, but he was sure he had. He said that he watched his dad drive into his garage and then refuse to open the door when he rang the bell.
This kid's dad had new kids and he was leaving his old kids behind to focus on the new ones. This really makes us see how lucky we are that our parents are around and that they care about us the way they do.
Like the character in the book, I think it's just hard for kids to accept that their parents don't love them the way they should be loved and they are not ready to give up on that.
You have identified a great moment from the book and it connects with life. Try to keep digging and to go into more detail about the emotion the character feels so that you can show a clear connection to the emotion. This does not necessarily have to be personal, but it could be about the needs of children in general or in the responsibility of parents in general - or things like that.
good job i agree :):):):):):):)
