Blog #10

For my blog I read chapter 4 of Fitz by Mick Cochrane. In this chapter Fritz finally confronts his father, Curtis Powell, a wealthy lawyer from Saint Paul. He observes him going out to his car, looking neat and composed as if he is in his own little world where there are no problems and no son that he ignores except for a monthly check. Before pulling out his gun, Fitz only stops for a moment to wonder if he should just turn around and not put himself through all the trouble and consequences of his next move but before he knows it finds himself running towards the car. He opens the door and shows his father his gun. Curtis seems calm but worried as he offers the stranger his wallet and his cell phone hoping he just wants money, but notices how fidgety and unsure of himself the boy seems to be. Fitz is very nervous because this is the first time getting the desired attention from his father or been so close to him.
