The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon blog 3

        In the novel “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” I learned that sometimes when you see two people argue with each other that you should just stay out of it ,because there are at least three reason why you shouldn’t jump into the fight willingly. The first reason is because you don’t know what they are fighting about to even say something to both of them so the best thing to do is to just walk away and wait until it’s all over then you can come out of the room you are in.

The second reason is you don’t have an evidence to help either person with the fight on who’s right and who’s wrong about what is going on in the fight so just either listen to the fight or you can watch the fight from where you are until someone else can come along and try to break up the fight themselves.

The final reason is the third one and in this one I learned that it is best to think about what to say but don’t say it at all just thinking and keep on thinking about it, because what would happen if you got into the fight then people are fighting each other would be yelling or screaming at you for getting into the fight and that it’s not your business to just talk out of nowhere.

So, that is what I learned from the novel and I hope someone else learns the same thing but maybe they will learn something different in their our eyes and that they will say it in a unique way to where someone else will read it and that they will say something as well. But until then this is my own words tied up into this blog about what I learned in my own eyes and what I should share to other people about this novel to the point I convinced them to read it themselves and that they make a blog as well on their own time when they get the chance.  

The Who Loved Tom Gordon Blog 2

  The book “The Girl Who loved Tom Gordon” is just like my life because in the story it takes place in a car with a little girl, her mother, and her brother with all of them on a trip together so in a way I am like the little girl in the back seat of the car while my mom drives and my brother is in the passenger seat. So through the story the mother and brother fight with each other the whole entire trip as the little girl plays with her doll wanting to say something but doesn’t because she doesn’t want to get yelled at as well so she sits quietly looking down at her doll and thinks most the time.

I am like the little girl because anytime my siblings fight with my mom I sit there listening eating my food but not saying anything to my sisters or brothers as they fight against her. Sometimes it makes me mad that later on I argue with them or have a attitude with them at the same time but of course I don’t say anything else once they realize that I am right and they are wrong. The story is just like my life because the little girl and me are the same in way, because we both struggle with family problems in everyday life and we want to say something but we are to scared to do it so we don’t do it, we just say silent through the whole fight thinking what would happen if we did say something to both of the people who are fighting each other. Would we get yelled at by both of them or would we win the fight with both people stop fighting each other and walking away to different rooms.

I’ve learned from this book that sometimes it's good to stay out of the way when someone is fighting with someone else and that sometimes you should step into the fight even if worst comes to you , that you should just deal with it and to ignore it in your life until it goes away and leaves you alone. So, in my eyes “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” is a extraordinary book to read if you like a good thrill in your life and that you should read more books just like this one because I kind like reading this story just because it was a good thrill book to read on the weekends and on the weekdays in some of my class when I have nothing else to do.

“The Girl Who Loved Gordon” in my mind seemed more like a thrill and romance to me because the title of the book seems a little off to me, if the book is supposed to be a thrill book that is supposed to shock you not make you think a little girl loves a grown man, but that’s just me speaking in my own words because some people think a different way in their minds. So I guess it doesn’t really matter if it’s a thrill or romance book , I think as long as you like reading it then it’s alright to keep reading more like this that make you happy and that sometimes make you jump out of you’re socks.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Hi, my name is Trisha McFarland, I'm nine years-old, and I'm going to tell you my life story from beginning to end. It was ten o'clock in the morning, I was in the backseat of my mother's Dodge Caravan wearing a blue Red Sox jersey that said ' Gordon 36' on the back of it playing with my doll, Mona. At some point we got lost in the woods when not to be freaked out by when I was eleven I was trying not to be terrified. I started to think to myself that everything goes wrong sometimes but it always goes right at the end. Of course, we made it out of the woods but out of nowhere my mom and my brother were fighting again as we drove along the road and again it was about the same thing as last, they both fought against each other. Like always, the fight was about my brother having to get to live with our dad and not getting to stay at the school he loved.  At the time mom and dad divorced each of us had to go with mom; my brother wasn't happy about it  since that happened. All my mom and my brother do now a days is just fight with one other.  I want to say something to both of them but I was too scared of doing so because I thought if I said anything then I would get yelled and screamed at. So anytime they fight I just sit quietly in the backseat of the car.

The next day we stopped at a park to walk around and to stretch our legs. Boy, was I happy that we stopped at the park because as I was walking there I saw just on the other side of the park was the man himself  Tom Gordon. It was amazing to see him. I wanted to go up to him and say hi but I was too scared to do it. As I got the courage of doing so my mom told me it was time to go and I was sad that we had to leave the park.  As we sat in the car the whole entire time I was just thinking how extraordinary it would've been if I talked to him . As we drove leaving the park , again my mom and brother started to fight so like always I just sat quietly in the back playing with my doll and sometimes looking out the window.  It seems like every time we are driving they would go at each other. Oh, how I wanted to speak up and say something to both of them but of course I didn't because then I would be getting yelled and be tangled into their war fare; so I just continued to play with my doll.

Until, we made a another stop at the park and we got out of the car to get some fresh air, I got out of the car first as they keep fighting at one another. I'll wanted to say something but I didn't and went away from the car starting to walk around the park holding my doll in my hand. Looking around at the trees and bright blue sky as I slowly looked back there I saw again was Tom Gordon but this time I went up to him said hi and walked away going back to the car. Getting in the car as my mom started the car and we left the park at that moment I was so happy , I was at peace with myself that I didn’t car that my mom and brother were as we keep going along the trip in the car.
