Things not Seen/Andrew Clements continued

Connection-
The boy in the story feels like he is being treated like a little kid to much. His mom and dad are really worried about him, but he himself isn't.When his parents get in a car crash and go to the hospital, they don't expect their own 15 year old son to be able to take care of himself for a few days. I feel like that some times. Like my parents just always need to check on me.
Perspective-
The perspective of the writer was very with the perspective of the boy, (the main character) a lot because the boy is the narrator. The plot is mainly that Bobby, (the main character) turns invisible and they don't want any body to know because it would draw to much attention from to many places. They try to get Bobby "back." The author obviosly had fun with it so I would say he was pretty with the problem.
Evidence-
I think that the argument that the author was trying to make was to believe in your self. That is true because Bobby has to make a lot of really hard decisions for himself, and other people like his own dad, are treating him like a lab rat. The 2 dads in the 2 families who know about bobby are insane "mad scientists" so bobby is more like an expeirement than a son. That means he's mostly on his own except for a girl he meets.
Supposition-
Say Bobby didn't have 2 first class scientists? What if he had no chance of turning visible again. What if they gave up and one day floating pants and shirt walked into school one day and BOOM! The whole world knows there is this invisible person and Bobby turns into a freak movie star or spy or something. Booby would have a tottally different life! Bobby would be invisible for life. If I could change it Bobby would stay invisible foe a while longer and some people find out about Bobby. Then he would turn visible again right before a million jillion news crews and the FBI get to his house.
