As the Literary Luminary, it is your job to post parts of the story to your group in order to help your members remember some interesting, powerful, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth posting. Write the page numbers and the paragraph numbers down and why you chose the passage. You must choose a minimum of two passages.

[|Page Directions]

One of the passages I picked is on page 3 paragraph 4 it says, "This was the the third foster home I was going to and I'm used to packing up and leaving, but it still surprises me that there are always a few seconds, right after they tell you you've got to go, when my nose gets all runny and my throat gets all choky and my eyes get all sting-y. But the tears coming out doesn't happen to me anymore, I don't know when it first happened, but it seems like my eyes don't cry no more." (pg.3) I chose this passage because it made me kind of sad that it seems like Bud has had to grown up so fast even though he is just a little kid. He says he doesn't even cry anymore when he is told that he has to go somewhere else. I can't imagine getting to a point as a kid where I wouldn't cry when someone told me that, but Bud must have gone through a lot because he doesn't anymore. (Shuana)

Shauna, I felt the same way as you. It is so sad the Bud has gone through so much that he doesn't even cry anymore. (Jamal)

The other passage I chose was on page 65 paragraph 7. It says, "Bugs rumbled around in his pocket and found a penny. He rubbed it up against his britches and said, 'Heads I win, tails you lose.'" (pg.65) I chose this part because it was a trick way to make sure that you can win a coin toss. I thought it was clever of Bugs to say that but Bud didn't realize that he was getting tricked. (Shauna) The first passage I picked was on page13 paragraph 1 it says, "The man in the cowboy hat spit sunflower seed shells into a wastepaper basket. Then he walked around the desk to Stanley. "My name is Mr. Sir," he said. "Whenever you speakto me you must call me by my name, is that clear?"

I was upset with Bugs for tricking his friend. What kind of friend is that? (Suzy)
