In my 6th reading of Taming the Star Runner , by S.E. Hinton , the main event is Travis meets with the publisher. Travis is excited in getting his book published at the age 0f 16 . He meets with Ms. Carmichael at a airport for lunch to disscuss his book details. Everything goes well with his book and it should be great !Afterwards he helps put around the stables again and talks to Casey who he likes. Then concluding he has a conversation wiht Teresa , his uncle Ken's so to be X wife.
When going to the airport , Travis is accompanied by by Ken and his young son Christopher. I really related to Travis a lot within these few pages on how hw felt about them beign there. When Ms. Carmichael was meets them and shakes there hands , Christophers first words are " I have to pee ." Which is something that my younger sister would probably do . Following that the author says " Travis wished he could die, quickly and painlessly right then and there , but Ken laughed and they walked down the hall together. " I know exactly how Travis felt because i've been embarassed by my family many of times.
