Tittle:Whistling in the Dark

pages:1-13
One morning Troo's mom was told her that her dad was really sick. Troo and her sister were laying down on the lime green grass,their mom told them that she had another guy that she was dating his name was Hall. Troo said that she liked her own dad better than Hall. Troo said to her mom "My dad may be sick but that doesnt mean that you have to be with other guys." Troo's mom got really mad at her. Then the next day they took Troo's dad to thee hospital because he got really sick. When his dad was at the hospital Troo's dad called her over and he wanted to talk to her bacause he wasnted to tell her something. He felt like dying. He told her "you need to take care of your little sister,you need to promise me that." All Troo saw was all kinds of wires stuck to him. Troo told her dad that he has to be strong that he couldn't die. Troo's mom was with her new boyfriend Hall. Troo's and Nell's mom didn't care anymore about him.
Opinion:My opinion would be that the mom of Troo and Nell shouldn't be with another guy when her husband is in danger of dying. She should be able to be with her daughters and telling them that everything is going to be alright.
Question:Why would Troo's mom be with another guy "Hall" instead of being with her real husband and with her daughters?
Quote:"Promise me that you will take care of Troo." I think that he should'nt be saying that he should be strong and trying his best.

Hey Jessica L, I think your book is a little bit sad because the dad could probably die. I also think that what her mother is doing is not right, I mean going out with someone else when she still has her husband alive. What kid of people would do that? Anyways like your book!
Hi Jessica Lopez,
I feel sorry for Troo's dad that he got sick and then went to the hospital feeling like he was going to die. I hope Troo keeps her promise to her dad because it will mean a lot to her dad father. If I had a promise to keep to my parents when their time was up, which I hope it's not to soon, I would keep it and make sure to accomplish it because I would now that my parents would be proud of me wherever they are they will always see my effort. Why didn't Troo's mom care about her husband because it was her husband and he need her by his side.
