The Foul Ball


Authors Note: I did this on the book A Prayer For Owen Meany. The point of view is from John Owen's best friend.

Owen Meany is a boy that is not normal. He is not like other kids where he lives. He is short and small and all the kids like to play with him. Owens best friend John tells his life story and how Owen think he  God’s Instrument. He believes that he is God’s Instrument due to the series of events happening in his life and how his life changes.

To start Owens’s  life out. A thing that doesn’t happen to most kids happens it Owen. John’s Mom, even like a Mom to Owen. Something that may that a friend away from Owen. Something that would shock a whole crowd. A once in a life time thing.

Owen was up to bat and for once Owens’s coach said swing away. Owen did just that. Owen took a wack at it and maybe wasn’t a good thing because John’s Mom was just getting to the game and walking to the bench. What she didn’t know was that the ball hit was heading right after her. Then killed her.

This was from the point of view from John. John was devastated with what had happened to his Mom. Owen kept saying, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. John kept saying back, It’s ok, I’m fine. It wasn’t though. John Mom was gone and he doesn’t know who his dad is. John is stuck with this man that his Mom just started dating. Well that was until he found his Dad.

This is a big event for Owen and John because John and Owen both have had someone that is really big in their life. It’s a life changing thing because John lost his Mom. She was even like a Mom to Owen because his Mom and Dad don’t like them and don’t want to have anything to do with him.
