Boy puts his face behind him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
WHEN YOU FIRST see ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Richmond boy mauled last year by two pit bulls, you don't see the boy. You see the packaging. It is human nature to run your eyes over the twisted scars and discolored gouges that have misshaped his face. You look at the swollen lip and the odd little holes where his ears should be. You see patches on his scalp where hair no longer grows.
Eventually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you get to his eyes.
And there he is. The 12-year-old boy who likes PlayStation 2 games and and the and hanging out with his big brothers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He's right there. Taking you in. Waiting. He seems to know you'll get around to him when you have finished with his face.
He doesn't speak until you do, and then only softly. His damaged facial muscles prevent expression so you watch his eyes. They do the work.
"Is this the new wide receiver?" booms . He's an offensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders. We are in the lunch room of the Raiders' Alameda headquarters on a recent Saturday morning. The team invited Shawn and his aunt, ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to have breakfast and watch practice.
"So you're a fisherman," Stinchcomb says. "That's my very favorite thing in the world. What do you catch?"
"Catfish," Shawn answers, his voice barely audible.
"What do you use?"
"Worms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
"Funny how whatever stinks the worst is what the fish like,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Stinchcomb says. Shawn's eyes squint. A smile.
Outside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], every player on his way to the practice field stops to shake the boy's small hand and thank him for coming. They greet him with the respect usually reserved for visiting dignitaries and religious figures. The 49ers and the A's did the same thing.
Children who endure unimaginable suffering are accorded special,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], almost exalted, status. We want to give them things, everything we have, as a way of making up for what they have lost. So throughout the morning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Raiders shower Shawn with stuff. Quarterback hands Shawn a new pair of his own sneakers. Wide receiver gives him an autographed poster. Another player stuffs Shawn's pockets with candy. The equipment manager gives him two balls.
When practice is over, the players and coaches guide Shawn into the center of their huddle. They give him a jersey with "JONES" stitched onto the back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a helmet and a ball autographed by the entire team. They tell the skinny little boy he is an inspiration.
I ask Shawn why the players say this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I don't know," he says, shrugging.
Arnett, the aunt who is raising Shawn, discreetly wipes a drop of fluid that has seeped from one of Shawn's scars. She says Shawn has a new home- schooling teacher who takes him to museums and libraries. They're working on a writing project entitled "Wonderful Me." Shawn has to write five pages of his life story and three pages of goals (playing basketball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], visiting Hollywood).
You're only 12, I say. How can you fill five pages of an autobiography?
"I skip three lines between sentences," he says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], deadpan.
Arnett has been in contact with . He is a prosthetics expert who honed his craft making disguises for CIA operatives. Maybe he can make a "mask" that will normalize the boy's appearance as he slogs through the slow process of plastic surgery.
In January,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Shawn will probably enroll at a school in the East Bay for kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He wants friends and a locker and a bologna sandwich in his backpack. Shawn Jones is not his face. He already knows this. The rest of us are trying to catch up.相关的主题文章:
