"Dawn" by Tim Wayne-Jones

When I read this story, I thought of my son. I wondered how he feels when his parent is divorced. My ex-wife and I divorced when he was two years old. He probably doesn’t understand but I’m pretty sure that he would want to know why when he gets older. I feel that I can relate to Barnsey’s dad feeling and how he been through divorced situations. Divorced is very common now-a-days. Sometime divorced is not something we wanted to do, but it would be better.

Anyway, this story was interesting. I see some happiness, sad, fear, and frustrating. Fear when Barney got on the bus for the first time. Happiness when he met a girl named Dawn. Barney and Dawn shared their same interest in music. Sad when he found out that his parent are getting divorced. Frustrating because he doesn’t understand what is going on. Although, this story has a good ending. They show they would try to understand each other. In this story tells us that Dawn dress like a punk, and gothic look. Barney who is a “normal” person. They sat together and share same interests. They share some laughter. They show a lot of respect. People who are dressed up odd looks shouldn’t be judged. We shouldn’t judge people how they look, and what they do. We should show them respect.
