Old Man and The Sea: Part 4

My oldest son wrote this essay for his Literature class.  I think it needs to be shared.

** I did make some minor corrections.

Everyday Hero


My everyday hero is my Grandad.  My Grandad lives in **South Haven, Michigan.  He was a soldier in the war.  He is a survivor of **Vietnam. He has cancer now, but he is still a lot of fun.

Since he was in Vietnam he likes to watch weapon shows on the Military Channel.  One of his favorites is Snipers or Secret Hunters.  My Gandad often cheers me up and helps me get over stuff that is hard to let go.  He helps calm me down.

He is connected to an IV to hydrate him.  He may not know how to do many things anymore, like how to use a computer.  He can't remember how to use a computer to check his email!

__________________________________________

In typical Scratchy fashion, there is no ending.  He likes to leave his papers 2/3 done and no closure.  For what he wrote, I thought it was pretty damn good.

Apparently, he thinks Grandad should be checking his email more often!
