First of all, the name of the book itself draws you into curiosity. We often associate Fathers as caring, protecting not people who turn you toward the wrong path. I've read a similar book before about the life of a criminal as apart of my university course and this really opened my eyes. To how everyone's lives are so different because of the choices they make and the consequences it has in our stories. By reading what I read, I was able to use my knowledge and apply many theories to understand why this was the case and hopefully continue reading to explore more of Emmet's life journey.
