"Sticks" by Thomas Sayers Ellis

The thing that cause my attention was a ling, "...Pretending to slap mother, when he slapped mother." When I read that, I thought go a kid, wanting to be like his father, in the wrong ways. His father, "..was a enormous man." His Father, think and showing things, not right for kids. But then I like when he discovers writing. It sounds like he could take is "learnings" out on it, instead of others. I enjoyed it going from the father to discovering and writing.
