Thoughts From Socratic Seminar

- It seems like David is always in the right place at the right time to find out secrets

- David has chosen to put his family before anything else by not turning is brother in. In real life, when push came to shove most people wouldn't rat out their family

- David is the best possible narrator for this story, he doesn't choose sides in the situations hes in. This is great for the reader, because they can choose their own side without hearing it from an influential source

- David is eventually going to get some confidence and confront his brother, this summer was the turning point for a reason and I think that when he confronts his brother is the turning point of David's life

- The scene where David pointed the gun at his uncle seems to be foreshadowing an event at the end of the book
