In chapter 8 being an outcast/ or a loner was a feeling from this book that I wasn't expecting. I from where the books seemed like it was going it was that sex doesn't matter companionship is what Bernard wants and I believe that there it's a little weird the feelings and thoughts he's having in his head.m" Bernard says repetitively how alone he is and how he's growing feelings for Linda and like how she's noticing it and is growing them as well.

Foreshadowing – “ And there was the living room, signs of a struggle. I already knew Amy wasn’t phoning back.”(31) This gives the book a fairly dark twist, suggestion that the wife might be dead, or murdered.

The first thing I noticed was, the first sentence in the chapter. "Git up! What you 'bout?" "What you doin' with this gun?" The second thing I noticed was, just after the first thing I noticed was that Huck fell asleep with the gun in his hands and didn't make sure that he woke up before his father. If i was in the same position I would make sure that I woke up before Pap. Just in case that Pap had the correct idea and didn't believe the Lie that Huck told him.

Because of this, both of the important passages that I picked are about the storked baby. In chapter eleven, “She looks at Connor. Still red, he intentionally avoids her gaze. The reason Connor gave was a lie. Something else drove him to run to that porch. But whatever the real reason was, Connor's keeping it to himself” (Shusterman 50).

Had Sal known that his parachute would fail to open, he probably wouldn’t have taken the sunset drop-the last drop of the day. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets as he hurled toward an earth indifferent to his existence. No, this isn’t happening, he thought. This isn’t happening at all.
