TASK 2: Did you watch the video. Was it useful to introduce the book? What does this question mean? What is it asking for?
The most memorable scene to me was
when D’Angelo was being forced by an older boy to bash the
younger boy with a rock. During this scene I felt like I was a
part of the character, there were moments where I was
questioning myself on whether or not D’Angelo hurt the boy. When
D’ Angelo started running away I had so many thoughts racing
through my head like “What’d he do?”, “ Did he actually hurt the
boy?”, and “How is the boy bleeding if D’ Angelo never touched
him?” It honestly felt like I was running away from something
when I didn’t do anything wrong. This specific scene made me
connect to the book in a way I hadn’t expected.
My favorite scene was in chapter
one when the narrator shared a memory of the grandma before she
passed away, and one of the memories was when the narrator went
to the garret to get onions. The older boy injured the younger boy and would put the blame on Pascal, even though he was innocent. His parents would blame him for hanging around troublemakers even though he didn’t do anything wrong. This scene stuck with me because my parents were the same way with me growing up. I would get in trouble for hanging with troublemakers even though they know I didn’t to anything wrong.
======== It’s hard to say this is my favorite because it is more heartbreaking than anything, but the part that stayed with me is when D’Angelo writes, “It is the landowners and the moneylenders who are the real vampires among us – not the pitiable, demented old women” (45). |

SON OF ITALY Think about an episode that needs clarification, ask questions. About the episode with the stone: is your family's culture similar? The meaning is, if you are involved in troubles, even if you are the victim, you are just as responsible. To avoid trouble, don't go where trouble is. *personal experience as a parent? |
