First Fish-Personal Narrative

I started the boat and backed it off the trailer and waited for my dad. When my dad got there he got in the boat and sat down and I started driving to the area where we were going to fish. When we got there my dad took the wheel to find a spot to drift. Drifting is where you put the boat sideways from the wind and let the wind move you and you put poles out alongside the boat so they drift along about a foot above the lake bottom. While he was doing that I was cutting up the shad (bait).

The race would start at 8:30 and we needed to be ready to help any swimmers who needed us. The event kicked off with swimmers leaving the beach at Sandy Point State Park and all the preparation culminates in the next 2-3hours of idling and adjusting position, like finding the right fishing spot, to stay where we were most needed.

Most folks don’t need medical help, they just recognize, like a marathon runner, they won’t be finishing this year. We stay ready and vigilant, trying to stay stationary throughout the race.

The only information the reader is told about his mother is when Paul’s teachers are conversing about him. One teacher mentions that his mother died when he was only two months old (2).

A blue fish appears to him on page eleven, “a regular blue fish, solid and alive,” and begins to tap on his goggles, before swimming away, lost forever.

Even the way the fish acts around Timothy, tapping his goggles as if urging him to follow, mirrors the way Olivia begged her brothers to continue to play where her at the

He was not wet, tired, or cold. “Your father is Zeus, the god of gods.” Surprisingly he was not surprised When he had swam he knew that it was going to be a god. He wanted to meet his dad but he knew that would not happen, so he was very mad. He was so mad that he hid in a cave for four years.
