Status Updates From Sunny (Track)

(ANTAGONIST 11/17) The antagonist in my book Sunny is his dad Daryl, I have come to this understanding due to how much they argue and how much his dad pushes him to be better. I found this because on page 73 it says "You say breath, but I cant, I cant breath."

(VISUALIZE) While reading this book Sunny, there were many times I had visualized what was being described. One of these times included when he and his dad started to get along in the morning. Daryl offered Sunny his coffee, I feel like I could taste the bitterness of the black coffee and a kind of awkward vibe. I found this because on pg 133 it says "The black coffee steamed over my lips as I took a sip."

(making connections) A connection I have made between my book and myself is when Sunny gets stressed out and worried about his track career due to his dads pressure I as well get stressed and worried about sports and if I will live up to my dads expectations. I found that Sunny gets stressed when his dad pressures him to breath on page 91 where Sunny gets frustrated and says "you tell me to breath, but I cant."

(CHARACTERIZATION) The character in my book Sunny feels sad and stressed about the loss of his mom and his track career. This shows that Sunny is a introverted character who keeps to himself and is worried about what's next. I found this evidence because on page 26 it says "Do you think your mom would be proud of this?" This shows that his dad is pressuring him to be better in his track career which stresses him out.
