Assignment #4 Season 1 episode 13

(I chose the main character Malcolm)


I was with a bunch of kids playing hockey, but I was the only that I had no skates. My friend Stevie asked me why and I explained that no one in my family can buy skates unless we had received lessons from my dad. Stevie told me to ask him to ask for lesson from my dad, but I said that since my brothers Francis and Reese received classes they have not been the same.

I tried to ask Reese how the lessons were and Reese said he couldn't. I called my older brother Francis and I told him about asking Hal for skating lessons. He told me to be careful. Finally I asked for skating lessons, and my dad told me it was a total commitment.


The next day I was woken up really early by my dad, and we went out to the school, where my dad told me that he was not going to question his methods. He began to dance/skate to the rhythm of the music. My dad showed me my skates, but he said that I was not going to use them, just a paper one. I felt like an idiot skating without the skates. I got embarrassed due to my dad’s technique.

My dad bought me the brand new skates, but I was too stubborn for that. I told Reese that I couldn't believe that Hal cut me off. Reese said that he had never to question his methods. I was frustrated and I tried to steal the skates. Hal discovered me and I said that he was just treating me as a baby, Hal took the skates, and I shouted: Yes well F*** you! and he went away.

My dad told me that there's no way to take back what he did, so he gave me some pages full of filthy name words, my dad wanted me to read the pages while looking him in the eye, I said I couldn't but also I said that I was not going to disappoint him again, so I did it. I asked him to renew the skating lessons.

After all the lessons, I was still skating badly in the hockey game, but Hal put on a song and I began to move well, and managed to score a goal.
