I noticed that the author used first person point of view.

And how used inner thoughts about even thought his mom still kissed him but it was't the same

I noticed that when he was younger he felt like kisses from mom and dad were the solution to sleep easier. Now that he and his father have drifted away, nothing feels the same. -Roni

It showed his feelings and inner thoughts about him not getting good night kisses from his dad anymore.

it was good. There was reflection. It used dialogue and figurative language.

I noticed a reflection about how things you don't think of as important are often the things you care about the most. It also means that the smallest things in your life can take up the biggest things in your mind.

I noticed it kept on going at being dramatic

2025-03-25 16:42:20 UTC

I noticed that the main character tries to get used to it instead of asking his dad about why he doesn't give him a good-night kiss anymore.

I found some figurative language when the author says the kisses didn't have the same "SOLID" feeling. I also noticed a lot of dialogue.

There was dialog in the memoir, there was also feelings, sensory details, a reflection of the memory, and it is in 1st person pov.

he is sad because is dad was "drifting away from him" and not giving him a good night kiss.

it also said his feelings so it is a memoir

2025-03-25 16:42:59 UTC

I noticed that...

It was in first person, uses I, my, & me
It had dialogue
It said a lot about his feelings and how he felt like something was missing.

2025-03-25 16:43:10 UTC

I notice that there was a special memory. the memory was when his mom would kiss a good night. I also noticed dialogue when him and his dad talked when he was about to leave. I noticed that when they were talking about the light he was talking about his inner thoughts. I also noticed that there was 1st person when he talks about himself like I.

1: reflecting how dad always gave him a kiss but now he doesn't

2: using 1st point of view

3: it uses lots of feeling

4: it shows that dads kisses are a very important part of the night

2025-03-25 16:43:41 UTC

I noticed the reflection of him and his dad growing apart yes it is small but you can see it happen

2025-03-25 16:44:30 UTC

I noticed dialogue and reflection about the last kiss. It was also sad that Ralph felt like he and his dad were growing more and more apart and that they were no longer being friends.

2025-03-25 16:45:18 UTC

I saw a lot of reflections to the past, and he seemed sad about it.

There was also a lot of similes and metaphors too.

I also noticed there's a detailed flashback

2025-03-25 16:46:14 UTC

It's a sad part of the story because his dad and Ralph are drifting apart when I see this it makes me sad. Even the name of the chapter is sad :(
