Prediction

Crash and Deluca seem to have an idea about what they are going to do to Penn. Do you think it will be a kind or cruel act? What do you think the future holds as far as Crash, Deluca, and Penn’s relationship with each other?

I think that Crash and Deluca are up to no good. Obviously they will do nasty things to Penn at school. I feel that the future will hold more of the same. Once the three of them start back to school Crash and Deluca will bully Penn.

Pg. 30 par. 4

Point of View

  From who’s point of view is this story being told? How does this impact the story as a whole?

The story is being told from Crash’s point of view. The reader only knows what is going on in Crash’s head. We are unsure as to what Penn is thinking when Crash is shooting him with a water gun or when Crash takes his button and buries it. The story could take a total different route if the point of view were to change. I feel that if the story were told in Penn’s point of view then we would feel that Crash is more of a villain.

Characterization

Who is your favorite character so far and why?

My favorite character is Penn Webb. Penn comes across as a really interesting guy. He doesn’t care too much about what other people think. He looks for the best in people. He also sticks to what he believes in. Furthermore, He seems to see something good inside Crash and that is why he keeps coming up to Crash to play.

Compare/Contrast

How are Deluca and Penn different?

Penn and Deluca are totally different in that Penn isn’t confrontational towards others. He just wants to meet new people and make friends. Deluca comes across as a mean fellow. (Pg. 29 par. 2). Even when he first met Crash, the two of them almost got into a fight.
