TAMING THE STAR RUNNER entry 5.

       In my fifth reading of Taming the Star Runner , I think I have reached the climax of the book. Leaving off from my previous reading ... coming home in the car Ken wants to yell at Tavis but when Traivs says " Its my life " , Ken realizes how much they are really alike and for the first time Travis cares for his uncle more than just someone thats saving him from going to jail and tells him about his book. Also in the reading , a snake is acting Ken's dog and the cat , so Travis cuts it up with a shovel. He also spends more time with casey and gets a job from her working on the stalls . But the big turning event is when Travis's mom calls and threatens Travis that she won't sign his contract to get his book published ( she has to becasue hes under 18 ) unless Stan reads it first . Stan wants to read it to make sure theres nothing bad about him in it . Travis really shows his hatred towards Stan when he throughs the phone across the room and it almost hits christopher and treasa ( ken's X wife). Then Ken wants Travis to leave because he doesn't want any chance of loosing custody of Christopher, Travis crys and crys and feels liek everyone chooses everyone eles over him .
          
        The more i read this book , the closer i feel with Travis the main character. I think it could maybe be the way he deals with things, in the way of reading. Also i can relate to him in understanding that i don't have the best realationship with my dad as well. Along with the fact that , i have felt as if people choose everyone eles over me in my family which is how Travis feels. 
             I think the book is now getting better with the bigger events increasing . At the end of my reading , Travis almost gets kicked out and sent home by Ken , but then when Travis tells him he didn't see them standign there ( which he didn't) Ken will try to work something out with Treasa so Travis can now stay. I would kind of liked to see Travis sent home for a little while , but then come back before the end of the story. And maybe while hes at home , Ken will realize that he wished he hadn't sent him away . Concluding in the end of the story Travis just ends up living with him and Christopher instead of his mother and Stan .
