Patrick “watched Liverpool winning” and “cheered when the finale whistle got blown.” He didn’t heart shouting or sounds of beating, but he knew that something irrevocable had happened. You’re the man of the house now, Patrick. He knew that the boycott and taunting were not that important he had other responsibilities to worry about. They “wouldn’t talk to him or anything.” The most terrible part was beating-there was “a hole” inside him “for a bit getting used to it.” No matter how lonely he felt, Patrick refused to give up. They had had so many adventures together that sudden “boycott” was a hard blow. He had many friends-at least he used to think so-who were always up to some fun. Patrick wasn’t the most popular boy but he definitely wasn’t an outcast.
They had free time and there was nothing better than a sunny day, friends, and a serious question to contemplate. Kevin was the first one to suggest the topic, “If the world’s moving why we aren’t moving as well?” The funniest thing was that Kevin “knew the answer that was why he’d asked the question.” Paddy “knew that.” No one answered, for they were not in school anymore. They were enjoying warm summer days, “lying in the long grass on a flattened box, looking up.” The grass was “real wet,” they had nothing to do, so they had time for philosophical questions. If the world’s moving why aren’t we moving as well? Kevin We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
