In short poems, C.J. expresses his anger at his father leaving and then returning home. He expresses his lack of trust and the uneasiness in his family because of his father's actions. He has trouble getting over the anger he feels. He falls in love with Maya and goes through the angst of teen dating. Through the help of his family, he heals and learns to care about his father again. Good poems to share:
(Nick) Tuck - about shaving for the first time.
Tongue-Tied - talking to Maya on the phone - nervous
Maya's sonnet
The Good Stuff - being a middle child
Seven Ways of Looking at My Father - Metaphor
If you can't stand the heat - anger
