Melaine from when David was a professor ended pressing charges of rape against him, saying that she was forced to be in a relationship with someone she did not love. David ends up taking two dogs and goes for a walk with Lucy and they start to talk about his case. When all of a sudden they have to come to a quick holt with their conversation because when they have to stop to cross the street Melaine is in front of them. When they get back to the shelter David hits his head while try to get dog food.
There wasn’t a movie that I could describe that fits anything to do with the story. David’s life ends up back into good hands when he is found not guilty on rape charges. David turns his life around and helps a lot at the shelter and does not seem to want to get married as he once did before. At the end of the story David makes a turning point in the story which I never had thought he would ever take. He made the decision to stop what he was doing and listen to his daughter and turn what was bad into good.

To make up for David making those unnecessary comments about Bev Shaw he decides to help her out with the dogs at the animal clinic. For awhile David enjoys working with Bev at the animal clinic until he makes another comment, but this time towards one of the costumers. David and Bev got into an argument on how offensive the comment really was, but in the end David stays at the clinic and just switches on what task he will do for the rest of the day. That night he goes home and starts to think if his life is starting to unravel right in front of him and he is not noticing.
At the end of this segment I am starting to think that David might start to get his act together and might be able to turn his life around. When he goes to bed that night I think he is reflecting on what has been going on in the past and is trying to think of ways to get his life back to where it was before his divorces. At this point in the story I think that it is starting to turn around for David and he is trying to think more positive and try to get him out of the situation he get him self into

David’s daughter Lucy ends up moving in with him after she graduated college so she can get started on her post-education life with the help of her father. Lucy and David end up talking for a while about the women in his life, but Melaine is never mentioned throughout the conversation between them. Then Lucy takes her father to go visit some of her friends at the local animal clinic where Lucy works. David ends up meeting Bev Shaw who is depicted as not being attractive at all. Which David is prejudice against any women who do not make the effort to make them look attractive.
I think the main point right know is that David needs to stop judging women younger than him because if he doesn’t everything will blow up in his face. He needs to stop doing stupid things because right know he could very well get into a big argument with his daughter over Bev Shaw. At this point in the story the novel just keeps heading into a downward spiral. There looks like no end to something that could very easily be stopped and forgotten about. David just keeps adding on to some stupid mistakes which in the long run could effect the rest of his life.
