No one understood what he was going through and he had no one to lean on. Because he has to deal with everything himself, he has many internal and external conflicts. He has to deal with the fact that his only friend and the love of his life is gone forever. Unfortunately, he does not fully share his thoughts or problems to the reader or people around him. With a positive tone, the author states that "it was inside him and outside him, and it was already starting to scream, and it was getting louder and his brain was getting louder and he threw water in his face but he couldn’t stop it” (Schmidt 82). This quote displays the fact that he is a very troubled boy who has a lot on his plate. Joseph has to overcome all of his problems by himself, and he feels like he is going to explode. Joseph is also becoming a dynamic character because he starts to get closer to his family. Once he does this, he beings to tell them his story, and what had happened to him. This is an incredibly important part in the story because it really shows the reader what Joseph is like on the inside. Similarly, it explains that he is capable of sharing his

When Joseph comes out of the water, he finds all of his clothing missing. A man, whom he later finds out is his uncle, tells him to go to the police station. After a period of time spent thinking, he finally decided to go to the Police station, but did not enter the charity tent until later that day when a mother told him to.

The sun is just now beginning to rise as Joseph, makes his way outside on the porch of the house to look to the Georgia sky. This was an everyday ritual, as he did this every morning, most of the time he sat in his rocking chair praying, praying for his many blessings, as well for his long-lost son.

As I approach the end of my novel, I can see how Joseph has changed during these past weeks. Before the sarcastic attitude and is rude comments was his immediate response to anything, now I can see that is reaction to other campers comments toward him are more kinder and moral.
