Chapter 5 and 6

Hey guys! What's up?

This post will be about chapter 5 and 6. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Chapter five deals with Sam's 16th birthday and with Sam meeting Alicia who worries about herself because her period is late. So they meet at Starbucks but as Sam goes home to fetch money to buy a pregnancy test, he stays at home where he thinks about old stories of his dad. Then he searches answers on the poster of TH (Tony Hawk) but he finds no fitting answers for how to act in this desperate situation. In the end Sam decides to take Tony Hawks poster down.

Chapter 5 ends with an interesting quote.

"And then TH played a strange trick  on me, so he probably is a god after all." (p.80, ll.21-22)

I think this quote reveals everybody that something important will happen in chapter 6.

Chapter six tells a futuristic dream of Sam in which he wakes up in a strange bed with Alicia and their son Roof. He can't explain where he is and why, because he can't remember to fall asleep. The baby cries and Alicia wants Sam to take care of the baby but he is not able to do so. They both go to college and Sam looks for the baby whereby he is totally overstrained."And if it was my life thet I'd seen,well, I didn't want to love it." (p. 99 ll. 23-24). He also meets his old friend Rabbit and has a long conversation with him. Afterwards he eats something at McDonald's where he meets a black lady which has got a baby, too. She teaches him how to change nappies. Back home his mother has been waiting for him. They talk about college and Sam's daily routine while they have a walk with Roof outside. He recognizes his mother to be pregnant.
