Maniac Magee!

What next with Grayson!? He's absolutely full of surprises! First we find out he used to live with the Beals. Then we find out that he used to play baseball and almost made it into the major leag! Anyway,I thought he told Maniac that he wouldn't be staying with him, but then Maniac did end up staying with him. How come? The question I've been thinking about the most is that, what would happen if another zoo employee had found him sleeping with the buffalo, what would they do? What would happen to Maniac? Would they kick him out of the zoo, let him stay with them, or just let him do what he was doing, sleeping with buffalo? But most of all, will Maniac keep running into strangers? A prediction that I have is that something sad will happen to Grayson. Maybe they'll both end up sleeping with the buffalo?

I think the fact that Grayson used to live with the Beals will play a big part in later on in "Maniac Magee"! Do the Beals even know that Grayson works were he works? Do they even know that Maniac/Grayson is he still alive? Are the Beals searching for Maniac like crazy? Did Grayson run away too? these are all questions the the author, Spinelli has left us asking. I've noticed that Spinelli, as an author tends to end most paragraphs on a cliff-hanger, or at least that's what it seems like to me. This is in someways good and bad. A prediction that I have is that I think Maniac will keep running into these friendly strangers who ask Maniac all these questions, and are surprised to find that this talented little kid who is white has drank from the same cup as a black kid, lived white blacks, and even taken showers with blacks. Until on day in this book Maniac nowhere was as good as the Beal's house. Maybe, we will just have to keep reading to find out.

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?
