"It was with his mind-set that my father decided to enter Bowling For Dollars."
I can relate to this because I have entered something, like a raffle that I had no hope in winning, but I did it anyway.
This relates to Children of the River because in my mind their journey to America was like entering a contest, either you win or you lose, You get to America or you don't.
"My father returned that night looking sadder than I had ever seen him. In his two tries, he had hit a total of only seven pins, winning seven dollars."
I can relate to this because I have gone bowling, and I have had really off days where I get a score that is way far behind anyone else's, it feels awful, I can relate to that too.
This relates to Children of the River because it's like the time Johnathan quits the team, he feels awful for a bit, but it's also a relief to him because he finally did something he wanted to do.
