Personal Narrative: My Best Wilson Man

Turning from a prideful boy to being merciful toward his dead brother. In fact, it all began when his brother was born, “with a tiny body which was red and shriveled like an old man’s” (595). Doodle is weakened and incapable of doing activities normal kids do at his age. The narrator encourages Doodle to keep on pushing, but no sooner does the narrator learn that pushing Doddle over his limitations will sooner or later kill him.

The son had seen his father falling behind in the pack, but he had continued to run farther and farther away from him.

Seth, the story’s main character comes from a troubled family. The gruelling disease, Alzheimer, which have hit Seth’s mom, plagues the family. The disease both saddens and scares Seth.

He moved office furniture into his living room” and Dallaire states,‘“I’m not the same man I was, the man my wife married”’(Lawson).
