This boys Life

This Boy's Life, a memoir by Tobbias Wolff, is a story about a young boy

named Toby struggling through life because his parents were divorced. Living with his

mother Rosemary, who wasn't able to provide him with proper upbringing on her own.

Toby owned a gun that his mothers partner named Roy, had given to him. Toby would

look out of his bedroom window and point the gun at animals and innocent people

walking by. He had this urge inside of him to shoot at people. One day, he was

distracted by the sound of his mother opening his door which prevented him from

almost shooting at a Nun. This scene reminds me of a scene in the movie "American

Beauty", Jack, who lacked communication with his parents, felt ignored and

unimportant. The lack of communication with his parents made him feel useless

. . .

Communication needs to be taught by example.

She considered asking her son for support. Children need attention, time and

care.

On weekends, Dwight would make Toby deliver newspapers, and he would keep

every penny that Toby earned and worked so hard for. This led to

behavioral problems with Toby. Basically, being a good friend,

listener and a role model. This is how you can open the doors of communication

between you and your kid. Many parents are to blame for their children's actions. Toby was an easy

target because of the fact that his mother doesn't come to his defense. That way, if the child is in trouble or needs your help, they'll

know who to turn to. After a long day at work, he would bring all his stress and tension that was bottled

up inside of him and realease all that anger on 13 year old Toby.

As time went by, Rosemary started dating a man named Dwight. They dated

eachother for a couple of months and he eventually asked for her hand in marriage.
