Era response and inspiration from POWDER

The development of the character in the story is the kind of style that I can most relate to. I love finding more about the character by incorporating their past and their personality into the story instead of just having their biography being presented to us in the most simplest form, such as birthday, bad or good childhood, or blood type ect. Mr. Wolff was pretty articulate when it came to representing his characters well. He was able to reveal the personality and the past of the main character (the narrator), the main character's father, and the main character's mother by expressing his views and feelings by relating them to the current predicament that him and his father was in. Even though this was a sweet short story, I feel that I really know the character and his family well. I know that the main character is a boy who thinks ahead and is pretty aware of the relationship between his divorced parents and can also be blase to the predicament that his father has brought upon them by pushing to do one more rounds of skiing. I was able to obtain this knowledge about the character due to Mr. Wolff's crafty ways of incorporating the information into his story.
