Auhors Note: Live outside the box. Do things that you could look back and be proud of yourself and say, "I can't believe I actually did that." Live the life you would be proud to look back at.
Imagine living the same exact routine every day. Wake up every morning and eat the same breakfast, walk the same route to school, eat the same thing for lunch. That may not be the way you live, but it is the way Ernest does. Ever since Ernest’s mom died and his dad left, he’s lived with his Grandmother. I can only imagine how hard it would be to be left alone by your parents. Ernest has never had any friends or anyone to talk to, besides when his grandmother isn’t sitting on the couch listening to the news or resting.
Diving deeper in the book Ernest found positive things when he always thought negative. Things were the exact opposite that he thought. Sometimes we find ourselves all worked up about feeling so lost looking for something when we never even started the search. Ernest felt like his dad has a banded him and that he never cared, but Ernest never tried and once he did he found that his dad sent him many letters, he just didn’t take the time to step out of his routine and live a little.
Feeling alone and empty minded, thoughts streaming through your mind. Why did my dad leave? Does he still love me? Why can’t I speak of him? Ernest found those answers and all he had to do was dig a little deeper. Hi s dad did love him and Ernest always thought opposite of that. Ernest would drag around those horrid questions all his life when he was waiting for the day to hear truth about his family. Ernest thought negative until he started looking and he found out everything was done for a good reason.
