The Boy Who Saved Baseball
Today I read The Boy Who Saved Baseball. Cruz was creating a rope to climb over the wall to Dante Del Gato’s house. Tom was scared because there were rumors that he shot people who trespassed, but still, he went over the wall. I would have never done that because I wouldn’t want to die but Cruz had a lot of courage to do that.
Text to self
On page 49 The children were sleeping in sleeping bags. I can connect to that when I slept in a sleeping bag with my friends at a sleepover on page 49. They also were sleeping on cots I can connect to that when I was at daycare we had naptime and we slept on cots.
The Boy Who Saved Baseball Setting
Today I read the book The Boy Who Saved Baseball. I know that the setting of my book takes place in Dillontown, California. (I believe that this place is made up) This part of the book it takes place in Tom’s backyard, and Lucky Strike Park. I think this takes place in the 1980s.
Personality Traits of Main Character
Today I read The Boy Who Saved Baseball. Tom Gallagher has some personality traits. One of them is belief. On page 8 he was saying after his team lost in baseball he was saying that his team could have won. He was believing that they could or should have. Another personality trait would be that he is shy. On page 19 the narrator says that he would walk on a different street to school just to avoid a couple of girls.
The Boy Who Saved Baseball Comparison
Today I read The Boy Who Saved Baseball. This book takes place in California USA. Refugee takes place in Many different countries. This book has 1 story, Refugee has 3. I think they are different books because the main characters have very different character traits. One important similarity is that in Refugee and The Boy Who Saved Baseball there are wise and smart characters. One important difference is that both stories have a different intensity in the rising action.
