page 132
I think page 132 is powerful because it relates back to the cover which has a strong message. I find it sort of frustrating that the message on the cover was not clear (until pg. 132).My proof from the book is on page 132 the author wrote ( in Kristi's words) "There's a duck in your fish tank." that and the fact Catherine turns around after Kristi says that and sees " David's rubber duck " makes the message on the cover seem clearer to me because before I wasn't positive that David was the duck on the front cover. Now I am more sure and David is more likely to be represented by his toys than Catherine. I think in a FISH tank a duck is more different than a fish because a a FISH tank is where FISH belong, a duck does not belong in a fish tank but it goes in water. I think that means that david's the duck and he is half in half out of the world.

Interesting Callia,
ReplyDeleteI think it is really that you point out the difference of a duck in a fish tank and fish in a fish tank. How one stands out as being different? Does David stand out as being different? I always thought the contrast between Jason and David was very powerful in this novel. Why do you think this is important?
Thanks for this great blog!
Mr. B
I thought that David was the duck all along. He is different from everybody else. I think he is trying really hard to get under the water but he can't because rubber ducks FLOAT. I also think that if the world was a fish tank and David is a duck he is not the only one. There are a lot of people that have autism but they are far away from where Catherine and David are.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post Callie!
