Eric’s Reviews > A Summer Life > Status Update

Gary talks about the differences and in weather such as summer and winter. He speaks of the rare occurrences of snow and the energy draining, hot summer days. I think it is relaxing to focus on these things appose to more complex things associated with everyday life.

Gary is in a car with his reckless driving friend on their way to get milkshakes. I think it was a mistake to get in the car with him.

Gary Soto tells of his childhood in Fresno, CA and tells us how simple being a kid was. He writes about the little things that might not seem very important as an adult but as a kid those things meant the world. I like this concept because its easy to write about you childhood but to express the attitude of a small child in the first person perspective as an older person is a harder. It reminds me of simpler times.

Our main character has three little chicks that live in his backyard and he takes care of them. He describes how they started small and yellow then turned into white giant chickens. But, the neighbor's cat killed each chicken one by one. This was one of the sad chapters but it is a good mix up. I liked this part and I'm starting to understand this book and enjoy it more. It's different.

Our main character had various small adventures such as collecting copper, house chores, and even stealing a pie. I think this book is very relaxing to read. It is neither super interesting nor boring. The one thing that I can't seem to figure out is the goal of the entire book. Maybe there is none and it's just made up of small adventures.

Our main character has all sorts of little adventures. He lit a fire in his house and luckily his mom was there to put it out.

The book portrays life of a young boy in Fresno, California during the summer and what he is doing. This book seems fairly interesting because it could go any which way.
