Very intriguing writing! The character comes to life vividly without in-depth character description; you paint his picture so well by telling us the way he talks, walks and behaves that he comes to life before the mind's eye. Very well done. You'd pass my fingerpainting class with flying colors... ^.^

I cannot get over the fact that the class is called "Success for Reading". That's what I call MY reading classes, but they're for dyslexic 9-year-olds...
