  2. The setting takes place in Camillo Junior High in Long island during the Vietnam war in 1967. • The book would be different if it didn’t take place in Vietnam because Mrs.Baker’shusband wouldn't have been M.I.A and Mrs.Baker wouldn’t be to harsh to her students. • It would be so different if they change the setting of the book.

  6. The theme of the book is to not think that your teachers are out to get you and to be nice to them. • Text Evidence 1:”I can skip the boring parts” page 58. • Text Evidence 2:”The light made the snowballs look yellow.” page 103 • Text Evidence 3:”And it doesn’t matter if we’re under our desks with our hands over our heads or not does it?” page 209 Theme

  7. The point of this story is in first person. This point of view explains of how Holling spends his life at school, if they told it different they book wouldn’t sound good. Point of View

  8. I chose peace because in the book they wanted peace from the war that was going on in Vietnam. Symbolism

  9. The book is worth reading because it tells about a kid in the 7th grade like what we are in and it tells of what he does in the 7th grade during Vietnam. Recommendation
