    2. Bobby got arrested for spray painting on a public wall, for vandalism.
    3. Bobby got to hang out with his brother, Paul, on his day off, got a break from the baby world and got to talk about his future.
    4. Bobby and Nia decided that they were going to have their baby be adopted, because they were afraid for everything to change.
    5. On page 115 you, for the first time, view the story from Nia's perspective.
    6. Nia is in the hospital for brain complications.
    7. She died because of ecplampsia, which is a result of unhealthily high blood pressure during childbirth.
    8. Bobby decided to keep the baby, because of Nia.
    9. Because when Bobby first saw her, she came in slowly, like somebody brush the room with a feather.
    10. Bobby and Feather end up moving to Heaven, Ohio.
    11. I think that Bobby will still have a very challenging life, but will be a good parent to Feather and raise her up as best as he can.
    12. This book was well written, a little confusing with the then and now set up of the book, and it didn't really add anything to the story, but the plot was moving and truthful.

    1 & 2. In these pages Bobby gets arrested for graffiti. Then he also leaves his baby with a sitter.

    3. The consequence of Bobby taking the day off was he eventually got arrested for graffiti.

    7.She got into a coma while giving birth.

    8. Bobby decided to raise the baby on his own. He did this because he didn’t want someone else to raise his baby.

    9. The baby’s name is feather because she touched Bobby really lightly like a feather.

    10. Bobby and feather end up at his father’s house.

    11. I think Bobby will remain a good father for feather. Hopefully a happily ever after.

    12. The book was really good and sad. It was very different because it was in the fathers perspective and he was a really good dad.

    1. What had happened was that bobby had got arrested, and went to jail for a few hours. Bobby got arrested because he spray painted a random wall.
    2. He got arrested, his temporary baby-sitter got nervous and called his parents, he went to jail, and bobby had to apologize for everything.
    3. Bobby and Nia had decided at first to give the baby up for adoption. Why? Because, they said that they weren't ready for having a baby. They said that the baby would be given to one of those happy family's in the pictures.
    4. For the first time on page 115 the author allows us to see from Nia's point of view.
    5. Nia is on her hospital bed, thinking to herself.
    6. Nia got emclampsia. She wouldn't ever be able to walk, talk, and probably never wake up again cause she brain dead.
    7. Bobby decided to love the baby, cause feather was the last thing that was close to Nia.He decided that he was going to be her dad.
    8. Bobby name's her feather because she came to him slow, and Bobby said it was like somebody brushed the air with a feather...
    9. They ended up in a town called Heaven in the state of Ohio.
    10. I think that Bobby and Feather will be just fine.
    11. I think that book was emotional, and very good. WE both liked the way the author told Bobby's struggling life. I loved the ending and how the ending didn't end with a happily ever after.
