Park's Quest
"Park's Quest" By: Katherine Patterson Parkington Waddell Broughton the Fifth, called Park (Pork by his mother), was a twelve-year-old boy, without a father. His Father was killed in the Vietnam War when Park was only a baby. His mother had raised him since then. Park would have done anything to know how and why his father died. But his mother always seemed to refuse to talk about him. Park could not take it anymore. Other people had father's everyday. He just couldn't stop wondering why he couldn't have a piece of his. So he would keep badgering his mother to tell him something, but he couldn't get one thing out of her. Then one day she said, He has- he had a family-maybe it's time-summer- maybe you can go visit them in the summer. I'll have to write." And so she did. Park waited and waited for the answer until- "They said it would be alright for you to go," he heard his mother say one night. At the start of the summer Park was preparing himself for the trip. He took a bus to the bus station, where a man that he thought was a hired man picked him up, but soon found out it was his Uncle Frank, his father's younger brother.
ank, he also found out his grandfather had two strokes in a lifetime, and that he wasn't in very good shape. He went up close to see the crow when all of a sudden- it moved! "Thanh! Thanh! Come back! It's alive!" She didn't come, of course. As he looked around her room, he found a picture of her with a very familiar man. He had seen a picture of him before. He also told Thanh about how the crow was not dead. He didn't have a father, not even a dead one, or an uncle or a grandfather. She told Park to stay with him while she went to feed the crow. Shooting lessons went very well the next day. Thanh was extremely angry at him for murdering a crow. Park threw his arms around his grandfather.
