Week 2 Post B

Dear Mr. Tobias Wolf,

I am continuing to enjoy your memoir, as it keeps getting better and better. However, there are many questions that I have, that hopefully will be answered as I continue reading. The main question that I have for you is how did you put up with your mom and her constantly have the two of you move. I mean the first time it was somewhat justified, since you both didn't enjoy life in Florida. But the second time you had to move was only justified by the reason that your mom was wanting to get away from your dad, which she didn't even tell you. Weren't you angered by this, I mean you were finally happy with your life and was settling in, in Utah and then all of a sudden your mom told you that you were moving.

I also wonder whether you will eventually become a "good" person, because at the point i'm at in your book, you are kind of going down hill. First of you lie quite a bit to your mom, then you shot a squirell, when your parents told you specifically not to touch your rifle unless they were supervising you. These to things aren't that bad, but they led to you getting badly influenced by your friends in Seattle. You guys steal cigarettes from Terry Taylor's mom. Not only is stealing bad, but smoking is even worse. I really hope you get your acts together in the next chapters.

Best Regards,

Hamish
