Some of the events that occurred in the pages we had to read this week were pretty unusual. When Chick was with his mother and Rose and he answered the phone there was a man looking for him, but it wasn't even his house. When I read that part I assumed it would be important later on because it didn't make much sense, plus the text was in all caps lock. A couple of chapters later the same man is shouting his name over and over again, asking if he is okay. At first I couldn't even create a theory for who this man was supposed to be. Since the mysterious man is revealed to be a police officer, and asked about the accident, it seemed more clear on where Chick is. My theory changed a bit, but now i'm sticking with that he's possibly between life and death. The police officer that keeps on calling Chick is the police officer that is with him in real life, but Chick is just not awake yet. Maybe he is possibly dreaming or in a coma state. An the officer is occurring in both worlds, because of Chick's main life. Even though it was not all that specific, that's the theory that makes most sense to me at the moment.
Something else I don't exactly understand is why Chick's father just showed up years later out of nowhere at one of his baseball games? If I was Chick I wouldn't want anything to do with him, since Chick grew up without him and he was not the most ideal father out there. It just seemed like Chick's father never truly cared about him the way Chick's mother did. That was really unexpected to read, I expected his father to just be out of his life forever.
