Dinner at the homesick restaurant - P34-65

Chapter 2 - Teaching the cat to yawn
In the chapter 2, it talk about the Tull family life. Pearl think about our life when her husband still stay with her. Cody - the first son of Pearl and Beck, he realize that he couldn't picture his father's most recent time with them and try to find some scene that would explain Beck's leaving. Then one Saturday, Jenny - the last daughter of Pearl talk to Cody that she think her dad doesn't come home anymore, he left them. Sometimes Cody dream about his father. School started and Cody entered ninth grade. He and his two best friends landed in the same homeroom. Sometimes Pete and Boyd came home with him, they always walked the long way, avoiding the grocery store where Cody's mother worked. At the supper, their mom complain a lot about them, neightbors always complain them and make their mom upset as "well, Mrs Tull, that oldest boy of yours is certainly grown up. I saw him with a pack of Camels in the street in front of the Barlow girl's house". Shortly before Thanksgiving, a girl named Edith Taber tranfered to their school. He caught up and walked beside her. She seemed to welcome his company and talked to him nearly non-stop. After dinner in Thanksgiving, they play game - Monopoly and then Cody and Ezra go out, and Cody just know that Ezra know Edith Taber, too. Ezra came her home and she show him her whistle, when she met him in the street and play his whistle. on Monday morning, Edith avoid Cody, she doesn't want to talk with him. He upset and walked home alone, long after the others had left, choosing streets where he'd be certain not to run into Edith or her friends. Het let himseft into the home. He passed Jenny's room, he climed on up to his own room and set his books before he realized Ezra was there and sleep. Cody knoelt beside his bed and pulled from beneath it a half-filled bottle of bourbon, and empty gin bottle, and strewed them around Ezra, arrange them just right. He took out his father's camera in the closet. He want to take a picture for Ezra. But Ezra's cat seemed mildly disturbed. Suddenly, Cody think about the yawn, it would have made a wonderful picture: dead beat Ezra and his no account cat, both with gaping mouths. And then he said "Alicia? Yawn" but he can't teach him to yawn. However he took the picture for Ezra.

In my opinion, I think Pearl's children always want their dad come back home, but he didn't anymore. About Cody, he is oldest brother in their family but he didn't help his mom to do something in home. He always make his mom upset. He is fourteen but he always think about girl and always go with them. Now, I don't like Cody and empathy with Pearl, she have to work hard for her family without her husband and take care her children. I think the story is more interesting than chapter 1. I will keep going to read it and i hope you guide like it as me. What do you think in the chapter 3? I will tell you when I finish it next weekend. Thanks for your reading. See u guide.
