In this reading Brewster explains how he gets all his scars. Brewster doesn't  get his scares from his uncle not by getting bullied but by magic. If someone Brewster loves gets a scar it disappears and reappearance on  Brewster. This is true because after his girlfriend cut herself on her thumb Brewster received her same scar and pain. This is a burden to say the least, Brewster is now having trouble to stay around people he loves. Also in this reading, he received scars from his girlfriends brother in which he hates. This is very strange because it doesn't follow the method of Brewster getting his bruises. Im stating to wonder if he gets bruises from only people he loves.


In this reading I saw a Foreshadow because it doesn't go deep into why Brewster got bruises from his enemy which leads me to believe that theres more than what Brewster knows.


I also think theres irony in this writing. I think this because its ironic how Brewster receives all these bruises when his name is Brewster.

In this reading Brewster and his girlfriend go on their second date. The date was planed to be at a swimming pool which threw Brewster off balance. The reason brewster didn't like this idea was because of all his bruises on his back and stomach. To take the attention off of himself, Brewster brings his little brother cody. When Brewster arrives his girlfriend was already in the pool monitoring him to jump in. Furthermore, on sight cody jumped in the pool in a shape that was similar to a canon ball. This took a couple of minutes off of Brewster so he didn't have to get in the pool yet. Eventually, the attention was passed back to Brewster so he got in the pool with his shirt on. Brewsters girl friend, being curious makes brewster take off his shirt. At that time an explanation was took late his girlfriend assumed his uncle beat him with a belt and now she is threatening to tell the police.

1.) In this reading there was a surprising interjection. "I pulled him toward deeper water.' C'mon, it's only twenty-five yards.'
'No!' he pulled his hand back from mine."

2.) In this reading there were countless participles. "Cody, who had migrated to the shallow end, called out to us."
