Memoir Reading Blog 4
Jackie Robinson had a son named Jackie Robinson Jr. His son had a reputation of disliking school very much and even being a trouble maker at his school. Jackie's son got into lots of trouble and was consistently doing it over and over. In a particular scene in the book, Jackie's son runs away from home with his friend. Both his mother and father were in a state of panic and were very distraught about the events that were unfolding. Their son was gone and they had no idea where he had run off to. As I read through the scene, I could feel both of his parents pain. They had lost their son and they were so desperate to do anything that would help to get their so back. If I was personally in that situation, I would most definitely do the exact same thing that his parents did. I would do anything and everything that would help to try and get my child back. It's a natural instinct to protect your children and when something happens to one of them, everything will be done by that parent to protect their child and get them back.

Have a child who leave his parents without any trace of him, is a sad anda painful event in general but in particular for the parents. The story you read remind me when I was 8 years old. One day after not have been wise at home I left the house and refused to go back because I was scared to have my dad punish me. When it got late night I and could not been seen by my parents, everybody panicked. They looked for me everywhere, they did not see me. At that time I hided in a friend’s house to whom I asked for help to spend the night with him and go back home in the morning, even his parents did not know I was still there in that late night.In the morning my friend’s parents found out that I sleep in their house, and asked me the reason I did not go home In the night. I told them that I had not been a good boy at home, and I was scared to be punished, so my friend’s dad took me home. Everybody was desperate, and I remember that morning my dad did not go to work, My mom who was informed about my missing last night, was there in the early morning crying about me. When I saw the situation in which I put my parents I swore to my mom not to do that again.
