Outside Reading 8

For this reading I read a chapter of the book Marley and Me. This book was written by John Grogan. During this chapter you see a different side of the main character John. You see him at home with just his baby Patrick and his dog Marley for a week or so. John no longer seems like that good dad that explained in the last blog but has slcked off a lot with his wife being in the hospital. John allows his dog Marley to drink water from the bath constantly, when before John would not allow him to drink from any of the water sources in the bathroom. Another way John slacks off is by not taking care of himself. He doesn't take care of his hygiene as well as he use to. For example spilling things on himself, and not changing clothes very often. A big way that you can tall that John has not been doing a very good job around the house is he dresses Patrick the wrong way. John puts the legs through the arm holes. The babies head through the new hole in the crotch of the outfit and the arms through the leg holes. This to makes me beleive that John has become really careless with his wife not being home.
