Reading Response Questions A: Due Feb. 16th, 2011

Copy down a quote from a character and explain why you think it's meaningful. What does it suggest about this character's personality? Personal qualities? Etc. Explain your thinking.
' "She looks so fine in that Homelands uniform. It just makes me proud to be a student here." I couldn't argue with that-Kim really was good looking-but the last thing Steve needed was any encouragement to talk about girls. '
(pg.13)

In this quote, I am referring to Steve. This suggests that Steve is alittle girl-crazy. I'm just inferring, but I think that he has charm, and is one big flirt!
When it comes to basketball, I think Steve isn't as serious to the sport compared to Tom. Steve came to watch the girl's basketball game, only to check out Kim. But Tom wanted to watch basketball, in general. Well, until Denyse caught Tom's eye.
