One Child

Finally Torey had met Sheila's Father, big man over six feet tall, heavy set with a huge belly that slopped over his belt, only one tooth on the bottom and very evil smelling breath. He had nothing good to say about Sheila. He did not even want to claim her, he said "She ain't really my child, that bitch of a woman who's her mother, that's her bastard." He kept going on and on how she disliked sheila and her ways. How he had never met a child like her, one who causes trouble all the time. I feel really bad for Sheila, she really has nobody in her life to give her guidance or to show her whats right or wrong. I kinda expected her father to be that way just by how she was in the book.  IT seemed no one can control because no one ever did. She was abandoned and had to fend for herself so she never really trusted anybody. Now that she has Torey, she has someone to look up to and learn from. Sheila continues to improve as well as getting along with others in class. Im hoping as I read further that her life would get better and that she has someone who would actually take care of her.
