We’re going to skip some pages about Cholly’s early childhood, but you need to know that he was abandoned by his mother and father, when he was a baby, and adopted by his Aunt Jimmy, who died when he is 11-12. He knows his father’s name, where he ran off to, and wants to find him. You are starting the reading at the point where Aunt Jimmy dies.
HOMEWORK: skip pgs. 132-142 (start reading on 143, at “Cholly had not yet fully realized his aunt was dead”). Read to the bottom of 153, taking notes on what we learn/understand about Cholly, from his experiences as an adolescent.
