Weekly Reflection 10/28/19-11/1/19

So far, this week has been going great for many reasons. One reason why is that I don’t have school on Tuesday and we got our feedback in Literature for our grade, so I now what to correct in order to raise my grade. Also, one thing that I didn’t like was on Monday when we didn’t do a reading period and just did work the whole period. Additionally, I am elated to start a new book at the end of the weasel essay.

1.Who's kid is this? When it comes to whose kid it is, it is Cut's kid. Also the kids father is missing . 2. What does Lucero do for the kid? Lucero gives the kid 2 hamburgers to eat. 3. What are the other guys doing while he is eating? They are peeing on the guy, Eggie, while he is knocked out and just fool around the whole time. 4. What do you notice Lucero doing at the end of the scene while the kid eats? As the kid is eating I noticed that Lucero was just watching him, and not just looking at him but making it a priority to stare at him as he eats.

Something else that I observed was that although he bought the burgers for the kids and was watching him, he doesn't really express any emotion throughout his actions. 5. So what? What does this suggest to us about Lucero? What does it help us to see might be lurking ...
