George Stoynovich is the main character in the story "A Summer's Reading". George is 20
years old and he droped out of school when he was 16. George is a lazy young man who lives in the Bronx,a poor neighborhood. He lives with his father and his older sister. Over the story George makes me think about him that he is a useless guy but with a lot of will power.
George looked just like his sister Sophie. He was tall and bony. He was a useless "bum" as his sister called him. He didn't like people telling him what to do, that is one of the reasons that made him drop out from school. George’s mother died when he was a child so he grew up with his father and Sophie, his sister, in a small apartment. For Georgethe education seemed less important. He didn't read books at all, he except for his sister's magazines.

In addition, we can see that George's usual activity is his night walking in the neighborhood. Mr. C is a very important person in George's life, but, George made a terrible mistake and lies to Mr. C. George tells him that he is reading a lot but actually he isn't. Meanwhile, Mr.C tells the whole neighborhood and as a result, George enjoys the newly found respect he gets from everyone. Mr.C knows that George lied, and he wants to change his way of thinking and help him- the "change maker". Mr C wants to show George the right way, and it is actually Mr. C's mission in this story. At the end, Mr. C succeeds in his mission and George starts to read books. George shows everyone that he is successful and that he can make decisions in his life.
In my opinion, George make a mistake when he lied to Mr.C, and did not make an effort to get over his problems. George choocedthe lie like a way to escape from his problems and it's wrong. People have to contend with their problems and do the best to solve them- lies is not a solution. I hope that George's wish become truth and he will read all the books he wants.
