Big Bawlbaby

In King Of The Mild Frontier Chris, main character, was a very big cry baby when he was a child. He would cry over everything. He would cry about the silliest stuff. He cried when the New York Yankees lost the World Series. He would cry when anyone hit him, and when he couldn’t go somewhere he wanted too. This eventually stopped but it went on until he was almost a teenager. This reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.

I also would cry over a lot of things when I was younger. I don’t think I had a temper as much as Chris but I sure did have one. I guess you can say I was one longer than Chris. The reason for that is last year during eighth grade after every game we lost I would cry because my competitive spirit let out of me. I guess this isn’t too bad because I see college and even pro athletes that cry after they lose something. Like Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. If anyone was watching that game you saw that he could barely get to the locker room because he broke down because they lost. But there are other cases like when I was a lot younger I would cry when I didn’t get what I want. Say I didn’t like what we were having to eat that night then I would cry to let my parents know I didn’t like it. So I guess that Chris and I were very alike in this case.

Temper

     

In King of the Mild Frontier Chris, the main character had a temper problem when he was a child. He let it get the best of him quite a bit. There were many occurrences when his temper showed. One time was when he broke the mirror in his bathroom. Or the time when he hit his head on the bathtub out of anger. This really truly showed that his temper was very bad.  Also his parents really let him know that his temper was very bad. Such as when he broke the mirror they didn’t replace it to remind him of his temper. He also says in the book that his temper is still some what bad, but not as bad.

My temper wasn’t as bad as Chris’, but still pretty bad. One time on vacation I had what I think is the worst outburst I had ever had. We were in Florida on our fifth day day of vacation and the plan was to go to Disney World one last day. My brother was old enough at the time where he could take me on his own. Well there was a problem. Him and I had been fighting all day, and it got to the point neither of us wanted to go to the park. Well let me clear that up we wanted to go just not with each other. My temper was so bad that I was throwing things in the car, and the car was a rental. My parents were a lot like Chris’. They told me that we could just go home and I didn’t want to that obviously we were in Florida! So I ended up straitening up and we went the park and it ended up being the best day we had all week.
