For One More Day /Mitch Albom

What made this book interesting so far was the way the author tells Charles Benetto life story. The author uses a lot of detail and descriptive words, to explain to the reader specifically what happened. As the reader you feel like you are actual there experiencing what the main character went through, you feel the emotions he had and the pain he went through. In the book the author talks about divorce and how hard it can be on children. Charles has to go through this when his dad leaves his mom. When the mother is left on her own Charles experiences how people treat you differently and look at you differently. During this era, it wasn't okay for a mother with two children to be on her own without a man in the house. People in there neighborhood and people in town would act like there family didn't exist. In this reading you see how family separation not only affects the children but the mother too. Charles dad was a very demanding guy and if he didn't get what he wanted he would get very upset. Charles mom always stuck up for children and especially Charles. Charles being so scared of his dad would always defend his dad and leave his mom in the dust. This reading really shows how much Charles did love his mom and the effect that both parents had on his life.
