1. Two topics which generated the most discussion today were:
The cultural events mentioned in the story and the principal characters personal
life.
2. As a group, we agreed one of the most important or intriguing passages in this
section was about: (this may or may not be one that the Passage Master selected)
I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the
winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud
wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it's
wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it.
Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking
into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years. (Page 1)
