SSR #2 Reflection
For this second Quarter, the book I read was called the Loner. In the beginning it starts off really slow, and the main character doesn't have a name. Usually people just call him kid. He doesn't have a name or a family because at the age of ten he was abandoned at some run down crop field. The kid gets all of his food by begging people for it or using the little money he made from crop picking to get it. Every where he goes, he travels alone and seems to hitch a ride from from anyone who crosses his path. As he's trveling one day, he stumbles upon this big butch lady herding some sheep. Hes mesmerized by it, so he trys to get a closer look, but what he didn't see was that there was a steep drop off. So after the kid falls the butvh lady see's it all happen, and she saw that the kid was unconscious, so she ran over to him and tried to help. When the kid woke up he was in a tiny trailer house all wrapped u in blankets and he had new clothes on. When he was all healed, at brought back to health he started to do sheep herding wiht the lady, which of whos name was Boss. This went on for awhile, until one day the lady brought the boy in to her house and looked at him straigh tin the eye and said your new name in David. David finally felt like he belonged somewhere and he knew she would take care of him for the rest of his life.

This book sounds really good. It's really nice how the boy found his place in the world after being alone and unwanted.
