Post 6 Book 2 (If You're reading this)


    Now that this is the ending of the book Michael's father had sent him a video before he died. In the video before Michael continued to play it Michael had saw a  calendar with red marker on it with the days crossed off. Michael said, " I paused the video and sat staring at him frozen on the screen. My heart hammered so heavy in my chest that I could hear and feel it up on my neck and ears." This proves that the video was made on the last day of his fathers life thats why there were red x's on the calendar so that he can count the days until his death. Michaels's father didn't know he was going to right after the video that he made but Michael did. Michael says, "How could I watch this video knowing, he was destined to die right after filming it? How could I not watch it?" This proves that His own dad didn't know know how many days he had left of his life.

   My reflection on this story is, It was wonderful, sad story that was about Michael's father death but before he died he had sent his son a couple of letters and about 2 videos leading up to his death. It's pretty bad how Michael has to watch his dad on video on the last days of death even though his dad had know idea when his days were up. Even Michael's father said "I don't know how many days I have left." I wish the story didn't end with Michael having to watch his dad on video. If I was in his shoes I would have gone into a breakdown because It would be my first time going through that experience. Even if It was My mom that had died I wouldn't know what to do with my life because either you're father or your mom really mean something to you because you love them more than anybody else.
