This book has really been interesting and a fun read so far. The only thing that I don't understand is why Marcus still went to practice at the same field every time when there was a stranger (Charlie) present most of the time and he was causing so much trouble. It just doesn't make sense for him to be putting himself in danger like that.
I agree with this. When Charlie tackled him while they were having a catch, I would have thought that was weird and left. Marcus on the other hand stayed, Why? I also don't understand why Marcus kept taking the blame for Charlie, now he has criminal record and everyone thinks lesser of him. having a guy with Alzheimer's is the perfect blame.
ReplyDeleteI agree with chris.Marcus should have left when Charlie began to get physical becasue he doesnt even know him . The reason why Marcus kept taking the blame was so that they wouldnt have to stop practicing together becasue it was really improving his skills.Marcus could care less of what people thought about him and he wouldnt blame it on charlie becasue he didnt think it was the right thing to do.In the begining it was weird to be practicing with a stranger but then it became a benefit when they became friends.
