Sean was told by his mother before she died, "Lots of people claim to think great things, but its's a rare man who has the discipline to write them down." These are words of the wiser from his mom, Sean started writing because of these words.

the first sentence confused me it said, "I saw my first scalp today and I have to admit that it scared me good." I'm wondering what this so called scalp is and why it scares him so much.

Leo knew that the whole city was going to burn and no one could do anything about, this made Leo think back to all the memories he had in this town and he knew all that would go to waste but he couldn't do much

I predict that in my story Leo the main character will scare the town bullies with his disguise and will get his gold nugget back from them. I think this because when he first saw one of the bullies he said there was a flicker of fear in his eyes.

Again and again.

Leo brings up and special item that was pasted down to him I wonder why it is important, why does he keep it every where he goes?

I think that later he might lose this item and it could be very bad.

Testu was confused why horse was acting so strange and not showing up to school or work. Testu would try to talk to but Horse doesn't really like talking. Horse only talks with his eyes mostly leaving people with confusion on how he feels inside.

I feel that Testu will find a way to talk to horse in the end.

In my book Tetsu, is finally able to play the game he loves. Also he gets all of these memory's in while hes playing, of the time he spent at his old home with his papa and his sister. I think that Testu has changed a lot from the start of the book to the end. At the start he was sad he had to leave a lot behind because of the government but in the end papa came back and he was happy and he remember the old times.

I saw in the text that's the main character is going to a game in a different camp and he get to play a spot that is significant to him and the characters feelings are changing.

in the text it says " I remember now, I, remember, now." pg 188 this is showing that this was a significant part in the book because he finally feels alive or feel that this is him this is his spot.
