**Summary: (Glenn Scalia)**

Today my group had our second meeting for the book, //John McCain's Faith Of My Fathers.// Our discussion started by Mike Viccho asking his questions. We talked about John McCain's plane crash he had suffered. Although John McCain only was diagnosed with a concussion, McCain had the option to return back to the Navy or not. He stayed mainly because of the family's reputation. He didn't want to embarrass his last name and felt obligated to return back into service. After all questions were asked, we talked about the major focus point of this week, which was the mood/tone. As a group, we felt that the author, Mark Salter, was really sympathetic to the McCain family. The mood of the book is very patriotic. You can tell just from reading 2/3's of the book that John McCain takes pride in the hard work he has done that comes along with his accomplishments and wants to sustain his last name being elite in this country. Either way, the last 1/3 of the book looks very interesting and we are all expecting a great ending due the fact that John McCain still has to talk about his years as a POW.
