Section 4: Part 2

Summary

In the fourth section of the book, Dave Eggers shows a little more of her emotional and personal life. He describes what it is like for him to have to leave his little brother home with a babysitter. He is constantly worrying about the things that could happen to him. While this is going on, he has to have a social life as well. Although he never actually goes back to check on Toph, he always debates it. Also in this section, he and a girlfriend of his get robbed while sitting on the beach. Six Mexican kids took their clothes and supposedly stole his dad’s wallet that he uses. They called the police and filed a report. Later that night when he got home, Toph was ok and his wallet was sitting on the dresser where he had left it before he went out that night.
