In this reading Tennyson follows Brewster to his house in hopes to find something horrible about his life style. While Tennyson is stalking Brewster, he finds that Brewsters brother comes out side crying and runs to hug their pet bull. After minutes fly by, he figures out that the bull is seconds from death. At this point, Brewsters uncle comes out side and makes rude and harsh comments and jokes about their beloved bull. Then the uncle pulls out his belt and begins to whip Brewsters little brother thats when Tennyson finds himself yelling stop. Immanently Tennyson runs after Brewsters uncle with his lacrosse stick for perfection but has no attention of using it in a violent way. Now Tennyson and the evil uncle are standing face to face.

In this reading there was Dramatic irony because Tennyson went to Brewsters house thinking he would find drugs and dead bodies but as the reader I new there was nothing like that in the house.

I think I found a small theme in this book which is don't judge a book by its cover, because by looking at Brewster Tennyson thought he would be doing a lot of bad stuff when really he's a nice kid.

So far in this book it's kinda a background of the characters. Seems like there are three main characters a brother a sister and the sisters boyfriend, Brewster. Slowly, the author has been hinting to what the book is about through characteristics of the characters. For example, When Brewster took of his shirt while in the locker room his girlfriends brother noticed bruises all over his back, this is a symbol to the title of the book. Another example is, the brother not liking his sisters boyfriend Brewster and trying to break them up, sometimes by physically threatening him. All these examples lead me to think soon there is going to be bigger conflict than trying to break up a relationship. In the book I haven't reach any sort of climax yet but I have hopes I will soon.

The style of writing in this book is a lot of dialogue and a lot of explaining what the character is thinking i don't see much description.

The euphony of the dialog is very good. The sentences flow well with each other and conversations in this book seem very natural and realistic.
