Journal 1 I am reading “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” by W.D Wetherell. This is a story about a 14 year old boy who has a crush on a girl named Sheila. He asks her out and there going on a date in a boat and he figures out she doesn’t like fishing and he loves it so does he pick the bass or the girl. In this journal I will be questioning if he picks the girl or the bass.
As I am reading the story, I wonder if the narrator will pick the bass or Sheila. I think the boy will pick the fish. The reason I think he will pick the fish is because it’s his favorite pass time. When he’s not watching Sheila he’s fishing. It’s like his second nature, he knows all kinds of things about fishing he’s been fishing since he was just a little boy.

He learns about the fish and what kind of fish they are and what they like to do. Another reason, why he might pick the fish is because it’s gigantic it’s once of a life time kind of fish. He has never seen a bass this big before. The reason I know it’s so huge is because of how he explained it the way it jumped out of the water how its pulling the boat and the rod. Third reason he might pick the bass is because he noticed how selfish Sheila is she’s talking about how she’s better than other people and she’s being snobby she’s talking about how she hates all of these people and that they are ugly and talk too much. He’s also ignoring Sheila and trying to get the fish instead of paying attention to her. But their is a possibility he could pick Sheila. The reason he might is that he has a huge crush on her he watches her every move and stalks her. Second reason is because of how attracted he is to her. He knows her moods he knows when she’s in a good mood or bad mood.
