The story was written from the point of view of a grown up person that took a
part in the story when he was a child. Gordy tell us about his adventure with
his body’s on a search after a dad body. The mission is to find the body of a
dead men that be run over by train. In my opinion every one went to this mission
with his own personal mission Gordy - wanted to see how a dad body looks like,
because he didn’t accept his brother's death, after this event Gordy felt like
no one loves him any more in the family and he wanted to prove his father that
he is as good as his brother was. Warren - he told to his friend all about the
dead body and sagest that all of them will go to find it. He wanted to prove to
his brother that he is as good as him. Teddy - wanted to prove him self in front
of his friends that’s why he looks for adventures all the time. Cris - wanted
to prove that he is better than every one thinks about him and he want to fight
against the stigma that the society stick to his all family. They started to
walk along the train rode that leads to the place where the body was seen, along
the road the friends experience in all kinds of troubles like shortage of food
and water, they solve all the troubles in a deferent ways like collecting money
from all the members and buying food from the nearest grocery shop. All along
the way they supporting each other but, it’s not stopping them to fight too.
One of the problems was to decide whether to walk on the train bridge or to go
around it (5 km ) fortunately the train came when they were on the bridge, they
got scared and start running Gordy and Warren didn’t succeeded to pass train
bridge and had to jump over it. At night they divided the night into four
shifts, every one guarded one shift with the same gun. On the trip they told
each other every emotional feeling. The other group decided to find the dead
body also. While the youngest group found the body the “adult” group found
the body too, they started to argue about the question to whom the body belong
to?, the “adult” group started to be violent and to use knifes, the youngest
group took out there gun, by doing that they wan the fight. In the end the
youngest group decided to leave the body in the place where they found it and
call the police and told them about the place were the body is. In the story we
saw the brave friendship between Gordy and Cris in a deferent places they let us
view about this special friendship: 1. When it was cris’s shift gordi joined
him and cris seared his feeling about the family stigma and his wish to move to
a place were no one knows him. 2. Gordy cry near cris about Gordi’s father
didn’t like him anymore. 3. Cris told Gordy that he must stick to his idea to
become a writer. After the adventure every one went to his own way: Gordy-
become a good writer Cris- become a lawyer Warren - got married when he was at
high-school and he has four children. Teddy - tried go join the army but he was
never accepted, he served his time in jail, after his release from jail he got
back to town and worked in part time jobs. Liked or didn’t like in the story:
