Scott is constantly makeing lists and those are worth the read just for the dry humor. One of my favorite examples is in the beginning on page 13. I used to ride the bus, so I like his "Field Guide to School-Bus Drivers".
Ok, here's the first question about this fun look at Scott's freshman year:
How would you describe Scott’s relationship with his older brother Bobby? How does this relationship change after Scott discovers Bobby’s secret?
I'll start. I got the impression that the relationship between the brothers was pretty typical. Bobby seemed removed and into his own things; someone that Scott admired in some ways and didn't respect in other ways. I also felt that Scott really didn't like the direction that Bobby was going with his life, but Scott felt either powerless to change things or just uncomfortable interfering as a younger brother. Things chang drastically for Bobby with Scott's help. Or should I say that Bobby changes with Scott's help. We see a different person and brother. I think Scott is a great example of a hero, an every day hero, which is what I think most heros are. They are people who find ways to help others. That leads me to another question but I think I'll hold off on that one and see where the conversation goes.
I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say. . .
