At school I am reading the book Crash. It is about a down syndrome boy called Poddy. The book flicks through chapters, what I mean by that is it starts at a scene of the crash and then is a scene about home and keeps changing.
About the crash, in the crash scenes Poddy, his older brother Jack and his dad are going to a sports event or something like that. Then they hit a cow and go sliding down a hill. Jack is semiconscious and his father is completely unconscious. Poddy then goes to find help and make friends with some cows. Help finally arrives in chapter 13 but Poddy does not want to leave his family and the people trying to help do not fully understand Poddy.
About at home, at home Poddy wants to be like his brother Jack but Jack does not want to turn 50 and have Poddy 49 years old still in his shadow. They do fight a lot and then Jack talks to his mum about his girlfriend and how they want to have a kid but do not want it to be like Poddy with down syndrome. Jacks girlfriends name is Jacqui.
Have you ever read the story Crash if so let me know what you think of it and give me feedback on how to improve and what I did well in this blog post please.
