The story was talking mainly about Barnsey’s trip to North Bay from Ottawa, Canada for Christmas time with his dad and grandmother. In a cold weather, his mother dropped him at the bus station for the bus. This is where he met Dawn in the bus. Barnsey and Dawn talked mainly about the song tapes and the cassettes. Some few hours later, the bus suddenly stopped somewhere due to the road snow blockages. So they and other passengers got off and stayed at a restaurant for a while. It seems likes that Barnsey started to like Dawn because she was making a lot of funny stories to him. She was using the word ‘rubbish’ which made him laughing.

He was thirteen of age like he was already a matured teenager because he was expressing some feeling for Dawn who was assumedly twenty. One day Barnsey was planning to visit her in Vancouver. But in the end, his father listened to the tape unknowing that he was going to Vancouver to meet Dawn.

While reading this story, I see that his parents are probably separated or divorced. “Barnsey expected that they are planning to look for other partners. I feel sorry for Barnsey because he loves mother so much as well as his father. He was looking sad because his parents won’t tell him what was happening between them. But he wished that his parents would tell him what the wrong was with his parents and he was not sure if he could visit her mother again in the future.

In the world, many children experienced this problem the same thing because they are finding difficult to live with either one of the parents rather than living with both of them. The children who experience this same thing are encouraged to focus on their education first as this will help secure them a better future and their families.
