Faja

I may be ignorant and clueless or I may be asking the same question as you but what does "Faja" mean?  Is that a name or is it a word in a different language for father.  Nevertheless, it does not take away from the essay.  I was suprised at how much I liked this essay.. much more so than the other two.  I connected to it instantly because the father figure in this story is much like my father... extremely busy yet thouroughly enjoy any moment he gets to himself.  My dad during the summer spends his rarely seen free time on our front porch reading a good book and enjoying the weather much like the father in this essay.  However, on a cold winter day like today, my daddy spends his down time in front of the tv, guarding the remote from us kids, and is asleep in record time.  In fact, he is asleep in the living room next to me as the bears game is on. DA BEARS!  I also liked how in the essay the writer talks about his father's desire to take his family to the Bahamas and that's why he works so hard.  My father works extremely hard for the same reason, to provide for his family and to give his beautiful daughters what they want.  I felt the peaceful mood in the essay that I think the author was trying to portray in order to represent the peacefullness his or her father enjoys during his time on the porch.  Now that all my homework is done, I am going to join my father in a typical sunday nap.  Let's have a great week.
