Shoulder The Sky

My main character Martin Emerson's, who is a seventeen year old man in high school. Martin in currently making decisions on who to get out the stress and tension from his mothers resent death. Martin has made both good and bad decisions, on his adventure to make his life un-normal. Good decisions that I think he has made, would be the making of his website, called emerson.com. This website allows him to talk about various topics that have to do with everyday life. Bad decisions that I think he has made to try and become un-normal would be things like smoking, being late for class, drinking, and Di-facing public property. I think that these are bad decisions (minus the drinking though, in my opinion) because they will effect your life in an even worse way, later on in your life.

If you knew, Martin what decisions would you tell him to do, that would help relieve his stress or make him un-normal?
(What I mean by un-normal. He is acting like his mothers death didn’t even effect him. So people are trying to get him to do things like smoke and/or drink witch would bring him out of his normal.)

Shoulder The Sky

My book is about a young man named Martin Emerson who is trying to learn how to cope with his mothers resent death. Early on in the book Martin starts seeing a psychiatrist named Dave, because Martin’s friends and family think that he is acting to normal for his mothers death. As he starts seeing the Psychiatrist he was told to try something that would let out his anger and emotions. So Martin was encouraged by his math teacher Mr. Miller, who heard about his problem, to do things like smoking, get tattoos, and do public gravity to relieve his anger withdrawal, that was created from his mothers death.

Martin also makes a website called Emerso.com, with his friend the egg man who helped him build it. The egg man has been Martin’s best friend since elementary school, and is well know through out the area for his amazing computer skills. This website allows Martin to keep his identity a secret, as he gives people advice on general topics that happen in everyday life.

If you where faced with the same situation as Martin, would you stay normal like he did or would you find ways like smoking or tattoos to remove the stress and pain from his mothers death? WHY?
