So let me just say that for the first few pages I definitely thought the author was a woman. It took me until he started talking about his wife before I questioned it and checked. Secondly, my very first impression was why are there so many f-bombs?! seriously. a ton.
Basically I was sort of confused while reading. The author kept jumping back and forth between his health issues and his father's. He told the story of his struggles from childhood through to adult, specifying in one particular instance in his adult life. He also told of his father's foot amputation and death due to alcoholism. He pulled a lot on his Native American heritage. He showed how it was still very much a part of his life and those around him as well.
Themes/activities I came up with are:
- defining moments
- parent/kid relationships
- life map
- recreate a time when ...
- you were scared
- you had a illness
That's all I've got right now. =)
