The book left me with a lot of questions. Frank kills himself. Does that mean that Frank harmed people and he did not have any excuses for him to be out of the line of suspicion? Or did he kill himself because of the pressure that he was feeling? Or did he try to kill Wes's family to escape and run away? For me, the first question made more sense, however, I could still ask myself if Frank did not harm people.

We know that Wes decided to lock Frank up and shows he wants to be the Sheriff not a brother and do the right thing. In this pages Wes goes to talk to his dad, and tell the fact that Frank is locked up and investigate what Frank did. The book told that Hayden was mad and wanted the investigation to stop. It was interesting to see Hayden not being shocked about harming people and was staying as a question.

In this pages, Wes decides to arrest Uncle Frank. The questions that I was asking myself before, which was if Wes is going to be a family member and defend his brother or be the sheriff and solve the case for the town. The decision that Frank made was clear that he wanted to be a sheriff but at the same time, I could assume that Wes still did care that Frank was his brother because he did not send him to jail.

Now, Wes decides that he will do what the sheriff should do. He now is trying to figure out what actually happened. This decision was unexpected since if it was me, I would still believe that my brother would never hurt people. I would believe that he ran right in to a trap that was set up. Since he was handsome and smart so I would expect that all lot of people was jealous to him.

In these pages, it was extremely shocking to know that Maire died. Reading, I got to realize that being brave does not always mean fighting people that harm people. Looking at Wes's perspective, Wes could be brave and courageous by defending his brother or being a Sheriff and accusing him for crime. However, it was understanding to see Wes thinking that Frank killed Marie.

Reading these pages, I thought about how Wesley had a choice between Justice and Family Loyalty. If I was Wesley, I would only trust my brother since I had spent more time with him. However, in the book the choice was different. David's family decides to not believe Frank. I could assume that Wesley had a hard time making the choice. I am looking forward to see how Uncle Frank is going to react and the truth.

Now, the story gets intense. The questions that popped up in my head are getting solved and at the same time things are popping up. David overhears about David's mom telling David's dad that his uncle, Frank harmed the India girls. Reading this pages, it made me question, Why did Uncle Frank harm them, Would the housekeeper Marie be lying about that? Should David's dad trust his brother or trust his housekeeper?

Until page 30, it is really interesting how the author is talking about the stories in David's perspective. David was feeling that something is going on, however David not knows what is happening. The only information that David has is that the family housekeeper, Marie gets sick. The questionable point is that Marie did not want Frank, the doctor to come. I had so many questions, does Marie know something about him?

The most interesting event that drew my attention was that David (the main character)'s dad dropped out of law school o be a sheriff. In the book it was also mentioned that David did not like his dad being a sheriff. However, it could be assumed that David's grandfather encourage David's dad to be a sheriff. In the pages David mentions that it is quiet and still right now but their will be a big event coming soon.

Cal and Possum are at the dormitory. By the description, the dormitory does not look like the dorm that we live in. It feels like it will smell and the beds will never be good. Also, it says that a lot of students are in one room of a dormitory. Then Pop and a teacher came in and the teacher showed the room to Pop and explained that it is a very good dorm.

Possum brings Cal to a tree. They climb up the tree. The tree is for Possum to keep is precious things because the teachers in the Indian School often take student's stuff. The interesting thing is that Possum has a gun that he hid from the teachers. In the tree, the boys can share what they have got because the teachers does not know that they are there so Cal and Possum can know more about each other.

Cal and Pop arrive at Challagi school. It was interesting what was like in the school. There were military soldiers and a party/ceremony about something. People were marching. If I was Cal, I would be more satisfied than how Cal was. At the party/ceremony, there was somebody who knew Pop. Pop also knew him. Meanwhile, Cal could not be that happy. In Cal's opinion, he is about to be alone because Pop is leaving him.

Cal and Pop are in hobo jungle for a night. They are planning to wake up tomorrow morning and going to the train station. When they were in the hobo jungle, a sheriff and his crews arrive to the hobo jungle. The resaon why they were in the hobo jungle is because they saw a black man going off the train.

In this chapter, Pop tells Cal about what Cal does not know about his family. Cal was not pleased that Pop did not tell him about his grandparents and grand-grandparents. Pop says that hiding it from him was an act to defend him. I could not understand why they had to defend from the fact. If Cal's parents told him that fact, later on, he might think that he was the only one who did not know the truth and be shocked.

In this chapter, Cal and Pop are in Arkansas where the Indian school is. They meet another hobo in the train and he also served in war. The man who Cal met at the train served in the france army too.

In this chapter, we have some information about Cal's mom. It shows that Cal's mom has passed away. Also, this chapter, tells us the real feeling of Cal of his mom passing away. Now, we know where they are from. Also, Pop says that he has to go to Washington and that Cal is going to a boarding school. That means they needs to be apart.

In Chapter 2, they introduced another character which is a war widow. It is Mrs. Ethins. Pop and Mrs. Ethins know each other because of World War 1. Mrs. Ethins' husband, Sam Ethins, is a soldier who served in war with Pop. In the Chapter, it shows what happened in Mrs. Ethins' house. They tell us stories about the war.

This book is about Cal and Pop. In the first 2-3 pages of Chapter 1, Cal had a vision of France in World War 1 with his Pop. But Pop was a vegetarian who served in World War 1. In the other 3-4 pages, the book tells us what Pop usually does with Cal. Cal was attending school before some action or some problem happened. It looks like it is March in Chapter 1.
