This boy’s life by Tobias Wolff. The main idea is a boy in the 1950s who

 wants to break free from his constantly changing life and family, His

mother is divorced. I think the story is worth telling because of the

 adventures, the ideas, and the conflict maker his mean green step father

“Dwight”. Toby’s mother sends toby to live with Dwight and his family in

Chinook this is were his life starts to get interesting. Toby and his mother

realizes that Dwight is a horrible man Toby wants to leave this man, keep

him away from his family. “My idea was to steal enough to run away I was ready

to do anything to clear of Dwight.” I think that’s the biggest idea in this

book. The idea becomes a decision the decision becomes an action.

  I think that’s a  brave decision for him to plan. But I don’t blame him

Dwight makes him work hard and theirs nothing his mother can do about it.

I think I would also steal from Dwight some of it is Toby’s money anyways, I

would  try to help my mother get away from this man and make her start a

new life.

I believe this book is about change. The changing of families, friends, and

Home. Toby never had one father his parents were divorced and his mother

Was constantly looking for another husband. He never had One Home his

mother was constantly wanting to move away from one place to another. This

is why I think  the book is worth telling.
