Chapter 21 - Hanging on to Max
Please post your thoughts about the events and characters on chapter 21 of Hanging on to Max here.
Omg! Poor Max he’s hurt and it’s really bad. This chapter kind of makes Sam seem like he’s neglecting Max, I mean if Sam was around Max, the incident wouldn’t have happened. I notice that Sam was scared as hell, which he should be because Max is so young and the doctors or nurses could call Social Services and report this incident, but luckily for Sam Dr. Fisher gave him a chance. Sam didn’t know how to tell his dad what had happened, there is so many negative effects to this incident. Mitch would think that Sam was being irresponsible and careless and he would think that Sam is not ready for Max. I hope Sam doesn't think of giving up Max for adoption because of what had happened.
I think that this chapter was really interesting. And I really feel sorry for max. He got hurt. I think that he wouldn’t have gotten hurt if Sam were there with Max. I could imagine all the pain Max was going through if I were a baby just like him. I think that Sam is really lucky that the doctor gave him a chance or they would have taken the baby from him. Max is such a brave baby and I think that sam’s heart was pounding so fast and he was clueless about what might happen. I think that he thought that something worse could have happened.
I wonder how Sam felt, I wonder if he was pissed off that they weren’t watching him good. If I was in his situation I would be outraged, screaming what happened and how did it happened. Also as soon as they were rushed to the E.R. Sam again was speechless. I think he needs to be on point and stop slacking off. I wonder though if Claire felt any guilt by not paying more attention to Max. I’m glad though that Max was ok and it wasn’t majority his blood. I hope Sam learned something from this experience.
When I finish this chapter, I can felt Sam has grown up, because he is known well to become ripe, and I just feel Max to him is how important, and how needed, I just feel glad at his change, when I read about Sam because of Max’s wounded tension, I know, he will be a good father, I proud of him, yes, because grow up let him understand a lot of truth.
Max, he’s bleeding…on his face, his clothes, and his legs. He was screaming at the top of his lungs. And there was blood on Jenny, too. And she was crying louder than Max. A broad cut crossed Max’s palm. Oh~ I’m feeling very scare. Because blood all over. So, I care to Max. He’s not wrong. I hope….and Sam feeling care and scare and angered because Sam is father. He is Max’s father. So, take Max and more care.
I once again realized how much Sam loves Max when I saw his reactions toward Max's accident. He could not calm down himself when he saw Max bleeding..and that showed a father's love toward his son.
And once again I was curious about his mind toward CLAIRE. I really want to know more about his feelings of her. It makes me confusing when I see his unfriendly behaviors toward Claire and his thoughtful minds about her.
I was shocked when Max was bleeding; story said the blood was all over the kitchen, I can imagine how it would looks like and how Sam felt when he saw Max bleeding. And everyone was panic, I think they are still teenager and they still need to learn a lot to prevent this kind of situation. From this chapter, Sam proves how much he loves Max and care about him. Luckily Max was okay and I found out that blood all over the kitchen was Jenny’s blood. I feel sorry for Jenny too, Sam might be mad about her breaking the wine glass.
Chapter 21 Well in this chapter I think it is going to be base on a accident and maybe two of them. So they headed to the hospital. Well that’s what I think will happen in this chapter.
Chapter 21 Well in this chapter they did have the dinner with friends oh in this chapter they had jenny ,Andy, so they had dinner at Andy’s house because the parents are not home for the weekends well that’s what happen in the chapter
aaw, I feel so sorry for Max. I feel for him, I hope he gets better. Sam was really freaking out and panicing. He did not know how to explain to his dad what had happened. I was kind of happy that the dad showed up, but honestly I know how Sam feels when he said something like "I could tell that he was mad" or something like that. Ive tried that so many times already. haha. But anways, I thought the social services would have been involved. I was really hoping it would happen. I hope it wont happen either in the next chapter. I really wish I could help Sam. If I had a friend who is a single parent & somethings just has a freak fit, I would be there even at 2 in the morning.
Chapter 21: I think that it was the first time to see Max have an accident like this and he was panicking. Sam was so panicked that he didn’t know what to do anymore. I know that Sam is going to thank Andy for being there for him. I think that Sam felt bad because Maxis his responsibility and he wasn’t watching Max. I think that when the nurse asked Sam “what happened”? Sam was just so scared that he couldn’t answer and Andy answered for him. I think that Andy thought that this dinner thing was going to be so easy and that nothing bad was going to happen.
I realize how much Sam cared about Max after the accident. Sam was panicking when he saw blood all over Max. I am proud of Sam for taking care of Max after an accident although this chapter made it looked like Sam is neglecting Max. If Sam gets mad at Jenny because she ACCIDENTLY dropped the wine glasses than Sam should be ashamed of himself. Max is Sam’s child and not Jenny’s and Sam should always be keeping an eye on his son. I haven’t even read chapter twenty two yet so I still don’t know if Sam is going to get mad at Jenny or if he’s not going to get mad at her.
