George Stoyonovich is the main character in the story, "A Summers Reading". George is a 20 year old young man, who dropped out of school at the age of 16. His family probably came from Poland and now lives in an immigrant area, Bronx. He likes to read the "Almanac" and not fiction stories.
He grew without a real family. His father is busy with himself and doesn’t talk much with George. His sister works at a downtown café all day and doesn’t have much time to spend with George. George lives in a poor neighborhood and spends his day at home
The only man who has ever talked to George and has been nice to him was Mr.C. Mr.C felt empathy for George, because he saw himself as a young boy within George. They both gave up the opportunity for a better life. George did not have the determination to read the books, although he needed it because his education level was low and Mr.C probably gave up his life for his love, his sick wife.
I think that George did not get enough help and attention. His father did not talk to him much, and his sister was always at work. I believe that a child's personality is designed at home by his parents. As we see, George did not have it, and struggled for (a) better life.

This is much better. Well done.
