Week 5 Post B

I am happy for Toby and the fact that he was able to get his head on straight and succeed. However, I was very dissapointed in the beginning of the last section I read, where Toby was hanging out with Chuck and getting into all kinds of trouble. I think that he should have stayed friends with Arthur. It wasn't until Toby had a talk with Fathr Karl, that he began to realize that he needed to get his life together. From then on it was all uphill for him, except for deciding to stay friends with Chuck. He began making good grades and was able to get a full-ride scholarship to Hill. This was a huge accomplishment for him.

In then end of the memoir, Toby plans to unite his whole family back together; his brother, his mother and his father. However, he is still friends with Chuck, and continues drinking. Although that he is not strayed away from important things like school, it is still not a good idea to stay friends. It doesn't really make sense to me, Chuck is a loser and is the main reason for the down fall of Toby's life earlier, right when he had finally decided to improve his life. Over all, I thought that this memoir was pretty good but good have been a little more interesting, since the book was about the same thing happening over and over until the end. Toby would finally get his life together and then get in trouble again.
