I am reading " The burn journals" and I read pages 1-94. and in these pages that i read it is very interesting. The main character is Brent Runyon. Brent lives with his mother and father. Brent is having a hard time in school and with his parents always on his back about his grades Brent has tried to find other ways out of life. By attempting suicide. His most recent attempt was because Brent got into trouble for something that happened by accident that got out of control. I myself can connect to this because in Brent's situation he was playing with matches in the locker room and decided to set the whole book of matches on fire. But then he got scared and he threw the lit book of matches in an open locker and closed it. But what he didn't know was that there was a t-shirt in the locker so the t-shirt caught fire by accident. So Brent got in trouble for something he didn't mean to happen. In my situation i was in first grade and our class had just come in from recess and a kid went to sit down and I pulled his chair back so he would fall. But what i didn't mean for to happen was that the kid hit his head pretty hard on his chair that I pulled back. So i got in trouble and had to call my mom and tell her what i did. So i also got in trouble for something i didn't mean to happen.
