3 texts:
1. Stars in the Darkness by Barbara Joosse
2. Scorpions by Walter Deans Myers
3. The Wild Children by Felice Holman
Statement:
I saw many similarities with this book and whale talk. One thing I really noticed was how letter jackets are associated with stuck up and "evil" people/jocks. On page 219, Casey says "I hate letter jackets" referring to Dickon and Gene and their qualities. Although letter jackets do sometimes represent "evil" people, I hope readers understand that not all jocks/letter jacket owners are bad people.
Question:
Why Casey would be so eager to get involved with a gang member? She didn't even know Baby but she was so excited to help him when the principal asked her even though it immediately put her in a dangerous situation.
