Charlie has talked about the life of his grandmom. She had a really bad second husband. According to Charlie’s description:”He turned out to be a terrible person. He hit my dad all the time. And  he hit my aunt Rebecca all the time. And he really hit my grandma.All the time. And my grandma really couldn’t do anything about it, I guess, because it went on for seven years.” I visualized that there had women discrimination in their family and imagining that man always hit his wife and her children, they had no choice and couldn’t do anything, only thing that they can do it to accept the beaten.

As Whit is being chaces by new order forces, he runs in to and ally to find wanted posters for him and Whisty. With Whit still carrying Whisty “I wip around agein, Hyperventilating. i feel eyes on me everywhere. An old woman grins up at me with a mouth ful of missing teeth. A couple of suits trot down the white marble steps of the capitol building, their cigars pointed our way” (Patterson,8). Whit looks around for a place to hide and finds a bombed out stone building. As he slips in the bombed out building he spots a Painting of the One Who is the One(leader of the N.O.) which reads “Confess your crimes to the New Order and you will be spared. The one already knows all” (Patterson, 8). He sets Whisty on the floor that has bullet casing’s allover the floor. Whit trys to heal the only family he has left, but the spell fails. after the spell fails he remembers all he has lost, including witnessing the execution of his parents a few weeks before

Charlie’s diary about his family, specificly his grandmoms remind me of my childhood with my grandmoms. He said:”When I was very little, wehad my mom’s mom, who always had candy, and my dad’s mom, who always had cookies.” I connected it to my own experience. When I was a child, I almost spent whole time with my two grandmoms since my parents were too busy and couldn’t take care of me. It really feels good to stay with them, as Charlie said, they gave me candy, desserts, or any other good foods to me. One of my grandmom passed away 8 months ago, it made feel so bad because I had such a beautiful memory with her and it left there for forever.

Charlie’s life is going really normal and he always tells us about his family members or the interesting, weired things in his family. Part of his diary remind me of something silly things that I have ever did when I was in middle school. “My sister was in a bad mood because she couldn’t buy her secret boy a present and hide it from mom.” I connected it to my own experience. I did the same thing with her like I had a secret boyfriend, and my parents don’t know about it at all. Whenever I got something for him or I received anything from him, I just too nervous since I can’t hide them from my parents plus I need to explain everything about it. It was the one of my scary experience I have ever met.

Many Men Ignore Hernia Symptoms

A hernia occurs when part of an organ within the body slips through an abnormal opening in the wall that normally contains it. The most common type of hernia for men is an inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernias is a bothersome pain in the groin area. Many men will ignore the symptoms, sometimes they rub the pain off as just a pulled muscle. “Other times, they may be afraid to find out because they know that a hernia diagnosis will probably require surgery” This is why hernia is so dangerous. Left untreated, this type of hernia can lead to a more serious condition called strangulation, in which they cut the blood supply to part of the intestine. The only type of treatment to repair an inguinal hernia is surgery. You can avoid having hernias by keeping a healthy diet, and also by having a good and healthy weight.

Charlie went to the homecoming with his friends, and he saw something he wasn’t suppose to see. Dave was dancing with another girl, he used to date with Sam who is Charlie likes. “I saw them dancing together, Dave and his girl, and I got really mad, it kind of scared me how mad I got.” He’s really mad about that, since Dave is hurting the girl he likes. I can imagine he was so crazy at that time even tried to go beat him.

For my blog I made a connection about the book The Hunted. I wanted to make a connection in this book because I want to write about something that both the main character and I have in common in the story. I connection with one of main characters friend because when he was going to save lucky he jumped over fence and that reminded me of the time I jumped a fence to go and get something to eat and a fence was in my way, so I jumped over it and get something to eat. That means that both of us had a goal to make.  A quote that I found in the story and can use it “I’ve had people do it before”
