Blog #7

For this blog I read the prologue and first chapter of the book Fritz by Mick Cochrane. In the beginning he introduces a boy who was imagining when he was a little that his father thought about him and wished he could be a part of his life. In reality, Fitz is a 15 year old boy who has never met his father and is trying to learn more about him now that he found out that he lives 5 miles away from where Fitz lives with his mom. In the opening chapters Fitz is "lurking" outside of his fathers apartment building in Saint Paul with a gun in his pocket waiting for him to come outside. He has been following his father around for weeks trying to learn more about him and finally decided to take action. I predict that Fitz thinks that the only way to get his fathers attention is to do something really dramatic so I think he is going to threaten him with the gun so that he can talk to him.
