Maniac Magee
Last time we read, we all found out that Maniac is blind in a way. Not phisicly thought, he just dosn't see that he is different from everybody else ... very different. Then an old brown man came up to Maniac and told him to leave. I wonder if this will help him figure out their differences. Maybe Maniac will help everybody in thier town figure out that it is not so bad to be different? Did Maniac's actual parents believe in the seperation of black and white people ... who knows?
I totally agree! But I think the way they phrased that, blind, is kind of odd. A t first I thought what and then, after Ms. Stodden explained it it made sense.~AG
