What Would Be A Good Title For This Novel?
I’m writing this short novel about a boy who has cerebral palsy. He lives in Oklahoma County along an old dirt road in the north. Alex Kale(the boy) is 7 years old and has to wear a steel brace on his right leg. He didn’t have many friends because he could never keep up with the other kids in the area. His best friend Nathaniel Kinley moved to Phoenix, Arizona 2 months ago. Now a new family is moving in next door and they have a girl his age, Samantha ‘Sam’ McLaughlin. They quickly become good friends and do everything together. Sam also has trouble walking becuase of Rickets. One day on his way home from school, Alex saw a farmer nailing to a post, a sign that said ‘Puppies for Sale.’ Alex slwoly walked up to the older man and gave a slight tug on his overalls. Mr. Cooper, the farmer turned around and smiled at the young boy. He asked, ‘Could I help you young man?’ Alex replies, ‘Yes, I’d like to buy one of your puppies’ the farmer says that they would be too much for a young boy to afford. Alex pulls 39 cents out of his pocket and asks if it was enough just to see them. Mr. Cooper says sure and calls Dolly the mother. Four little balls of fur come running after her. Alex then saw a remarkably smaller pup sliding down the ramp and runnin awkwardly trying to keep up with the others. Alex says to the farmer that he wanted the runt. Mr. Cooper says that he won’t want the runt it will never be able to keep up with young boy while running. Alex turns to the man rolls up his right pantleg, ‘You see sir, I don’t run too well myself and he needs someone who can understand.’ With that the farmer picked up the pup and handed it to the little boy. Alex asks ‘How much do I owe you sir?’ Mr. Cooper replies with tears in his eyes, ‘No charge, there is no charge for love.’ They boy goes home with his new dog and ends up naming him Skip. Alex, Sam and Skip Go for daily runs through the fields ond along the dirt roads. 5 years later Alex becomes very sick, and is bed-bound. For a year Skip stayed by Alex’s bed keeping watch over him until one night Alex quietly slipped away from life with Skip right by his side. And in the morning Alex’s mother finds Skip on the ground beside Alex’s bed, dead. Skip dies because he did what he needtp do in life and that was to make Alex Kale happy as long as he lived, and now with Alex gone, Skip has finished his duties.
