Authors Note: “This is a predicting piece about Mickey & me and this is going towards my goals and to get higher than an 8 in predicting.”

              

               Death is a real scary thing, especially to a kid. In the story Mickey & Me, Joe Stoeshack almost loses his dad, which he had thought he had for a minute. His dad had become paralyzed in a car accident he couldn’t move a muscle. Joe was scared, he was waiting in the emergency room as the doctor told Joe to come in and take a look at his beloved dad. He wasn’t moving, he was closing his eyes when Joe ran in, he was scared to death. Then I decided to make a very reasonable prediction about what happened next and what happened to the family and what it would do. My prediction is that the Stoeshack family will be spread apart kind of because there dad might be dead or even paralyzed. Now their dad can’t do anything around the house, and he can’t work. This is a really bad situation for the family.

                To persuade into the body paragraph, Joe’s dad is kind of helpless in the ring right now because he’s probably going to lose his job, maybe get a divorce and he is probably paralyzed right now and Joe doesn’t even know it. But my prediction was that after that car accident that the whole Stoeshack family will fall apart and I will have to keep reading and see it that is true or not. The reasons that support my prediction is even before the accident Joe’s dad was arguing with Joe’s mom and getting into fights about the bills and gas etc. The main reason I made my prediction is because Joe didn’t like his dad (bill) even before the accident because he was never there for his games such as baseball which is his favorite sport. He was kind of disappointed that his dad never had any time to watch his kid play his game. But now he can’t go to anything he is going to have to rent an apartment because I think that he and his wife are going to get a divorce so I think he’s going to have to live with himself.

                In conclusion, my prediction turned out to be correct and the family kind of fell apart after the accident because the dad turned out to be a sit at home dad in a wheelchair his whole life. This event was probably the main conflict in this story because it kind of changed everything in the ending.  So i was right about my prediction everything fell apart after the accident. This is a really bad situation for the Stoeshack family.
