Hero: Post B : #5

Dear Author,

First of all I would like to say that I am increasingly enjoying your novel. Thom is extremely relatable. He is a teenager actually has problems and drama, that is not sometimes showed in teen novels. Thom deals with his shy personality, sexuality, and family issues. All teens deal with theses issues and it is nice to actual see someone writing about it. One conflict that really interested me was at the team games. Just as Thom was about the claim his glory and price, his dad interrupts him. After, his dad is quite mad, frustrated, and concerned. He worries that his son may evolve into a miniature Justice. As Thom’s father drags his son out of the fight simulator, Justice tries to stop him. Dad immediately punches him across the face, he falls to the ground. But as Justice is a superheroes he was barely hurt. Although Thom knew from previous experiences that he should never interfere with his father while his angry, he did it anyways. Thom said, “I waited for the impact, but it didn’t come. When I finally gathered the courage to open my eyes, I looked through my fingers and saw my dad. His paternal instinct had won out,”(197) Thom had barely escaped his father survival instincts. I thought this was important, because a lot of teenagers feel the same way with their parents and can relate easily.

Sincerely,
CM:]
