We discussed a variety of settings, and the allusions in the chapter -
we also discussed the significance of Michael's description of slush
hitting the window in his room and other, perhaps unexpected, metaphor
choices.
Students added what they could to a new character tracking sheet, and are keeping the following questions in mind:
- What images or moments are described so vividly that you can envision them?
- What words are new - or what allusions or references require more investigating?
- Of the moments between brothers Francis and Michael, which have the greatest impact on their relationship?
- What are some examples of "careless prejudices" and "low expectations" in these boys' lives?
- What connections can you make between the experiences of these kids and your own childhood?
