Summer Reading Project - Blog 3

Stay
By: Victor Gischler
Pages: 1-162
Prompt:
- What has been the most important part of what you've been reading?
- What has been the most interesting part of what you've been reading?
- What character do you like best? Why?


               The most important part in Stay would be when someone broke into David's(main character) house. It is the most important part because that is how the whole problem with Dante Payne started to interfere with David's family at his home. That night, David stayed up at night and heard something downstairs. He caught the burglar and fought him off with using prior knowledge from the army. After that night everything changed. His entire family was at risk. Eventually there came a time where he and his family had to pack a bag and crash through the garage door to leave their house, because it was no longer safe. He had to leave his kids with a relative and is currently trying to catch Dante Payne red handed and get him into jail.

               The most interesting part of what I've been reading was when David saw a woman being attacked by her husband and stepped in to help. He defended the woman and told her to go grab a taxi. Once she left, David tried to sort things out with the man. When the man did not cooperate and threw a punch at him, David pinned him down and got in control of the man. I thought that was interesting because it shows the kind of man that David really is. The kind that doesn't like abuse, the kind that wants to protect his wife, and the kind that wants to protect his children.

               The character that I like the most in this book is David. I like him because I think that all of his army skills are cool. I like how he scans the room when entering, how he memorizes the exits in the room, and how he is able to think ahead and predict different moves. He can also fire a gun and is a very good shot. I found that pretty cool too. I also like how he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family from danger. For example, he is going out to places trying to figure out where Dante Payne is, and not allowing his wife to go with him.
