Possum brings Cal to the old oak tree. It differs from the rest of the school because it is a secret place for Possum and his friends. It is important that kids all like this place because they can hide things and keep their memories. One example the author made I Possum's grandfather's stone box, which brings Cal's mind to the trail of tears, like he is experiencing it.

I am surprised when Morrell seems to recognize Pop and have an excellent relationship, they're fortunate on their way that they all meet friendly, and I think they hadn't seen somebody that held a bad opinion of them (Except the thief beaten by Pop) I am also interested to what would happen next to Cal in Challagi school afterwards. However, my hypothesis of the plot is something not very positive would happen.

In this chapter, I am interested in the plot when Pop shows his calm and bravery when soldiers and a prejudiced captain come and Hobos don't know why they're here.

In Chapter 7, Cap made stew. The stew was transferred from the special lid to a plate and the meal began. The stew disappeared quickly. I wondered if I hadn't eaten enough for a while.When I thought about this, my heart was moved by the difficulty of life at that time. I always want to be grateful for food.

I feel very dangerous about the way that Hobos gets out of the car, just by jumping down before arriving at the platform, with cal's description, people on the platform even have guns in their hands. They aren't allowed to travel by train, so if they want to travel quickly, they can only try to take a risk. The second is that I am shocked by the amount of Hobos (vets) that were in America after the great depression.

I was surprised when Pop said he's native American although I had this thought before, but it's still shocking that Cal is half Indian. The second point is when Pop mentioned a dead Indian is a million US dollars, so they then made Indian schools to educate and teach Indian kids to live in the way white people live.

I am surprised that Pop isn't taking Cal on his way to D.C. because in this book before, it seems that Pop always took Cal on his adventure and journey. However, Pop now decides to let Cal take an Indian school which is much more dangerous than going to D.C. Also, at the start, it mentions the experience of Cal's childhood, and I'm also surprised that his mother is Albanian.

I found a clue that Mr Eular's name Sam Eular is very similar to the watch the Pop had in the vision of war Cal had.
