A day wasted

The ache the pain so harsh that it causes a young boy to miss a perfect day of learning at school, a story called Stolen Day by Sherwood Anderson is about a kid who skips school because of his aches. So he goes home and tells his mother but she don't care. Since his mother don't care he goes fishing. Very pointless and kind of boring.

The book is a little boring because of the fact nothing really happens. The one thing that happens is when the boy catches a fish, otherwise its just him talking about what he should do.They boy's mother was busy that day so and till he realized that he should get attention because he was sick, so he thought he would go fishing, his hart would stop and drown and his mom would still not care. No one should think that way. When he gets a bite it uses words like, thrashing, wrestling to make the thing seem more exiting. Then its over and nothing happens again.

In a book if nothing really happens its just pointless. Purpose of books are for an education or entertainment. If nothing happens its not entertaining and if its doesn't teach then its pointless. Can a kid be excused from school because an ache anyway? And if it does happen and you go home why would you go fishing? The character didn't fake the pain to go home, and if you go home its because you can't take it, so why go fishing.

If someone goes home because there sick no matter how busy a mother is I'm sure they would make sure of that they stay in bed or on the couch resting, unless if they refuse to be a mom. This book really didn't explain anyone except for one character who is none for not showing up and goes fishing, but otherwise know one is really explained, what they look like, how they are, age Etc. the book ended a little weird and to fast, the kid caught a fish and his parents asked why he came home and he ran crying. He has and ache and what's so shameful, its not his fault.

The point to this book is a little hard to find and nothing really happened, so why read it? if the book isn't entertaining then your wasting time. only one thing exiting really happens and it doesn't last, its over and then that's about it.
