The Bass Mant
I am reading”The Bass, the River and Sheila Mant” by WD Wetherell and I am on page five. This book is about a 14 year old boy having a crush on a girl named Sheila Mant. Throughout the story he does many things to get her attention. As the story goes on he is stuck between two choices. Which one will he choose? In this paper I will be questioning and connecting.

He was also feeling regret because him not pulling in the fish was slowly breaking his fishing pole. The same fishing pole that he took with him everywhere he went. Just like the boy I was caught between two different choices. I was caught between my family and my friends. One day my family was planning on spending the night together to hang out and play board games. My friend’s asked me to hang out that same night though. I was caught between spending time with my family or my friends. I decided that I would have a more enjoyable night hanging out with my friends. Although when I made this
