HW
Answer question 1 on page 116 in the form of a journal response.
The question reads:
All of us are fated at various times in life to share the kind of painful disappointment experienced by Tony Jarvis. Do you remember the anguish felt upon the discovery that Santa Claus was not quite the flesh-and-blood saint presented to you for so many years? Did you find out that an adult you admired was not perfect? Did you have a pet die?
Describe in one paragraph a major disappointment that you have experienced. Do not write a story or detailed narrative; concentrate, instead, on re-creating the original emotional impact of the event. Your disppointment need not be as "big" as Tony's; sometimes it is the littlest disppointments in life that bring the most pain.
