“You got your mama’s hair-that cobwebby blond, and they ran their fingers through his hair and patted his head like he was a dog.”pg.32

This shows that Rob looks similar to his mom, which means Rob is always reminded of his mom.

“Rob looked up and saw his father wiping tears from his own eyes.” page 108

This is important because Rob has made his dad realize it is ok to cry.

“He felt a sudden desperate need to tell somebody, somebody who wouldn’t doubt him. Somebody who was capable of believing in tigers.” page 38

This proves that Rob does not trust many people, and he needs to find someone to talk to. This will be Sistine.

“He beat him with his fists.  He kicked him.” Page: 106

This shows that Rob was really mad about his father shooting the tiger.  Rob was opening his suitcase and letting his feelings out.

"She’s dead,” he told her. The words came out in short, ragged gasps. ”My mama’s dead.” pg 48

This shows that Rob wanted to be friends with Sistine because he opened up his suitcase a little so that Sistine wouldn’t be mad at him.

"She seems nervous, and there's something freaky about her eyebrows." pg. 14

This shows that she is not like any of Joe's other teachers. Also Ravi and Joe are thinking the same thing so maybe they will become friends.

On page 7 the Arthur writes " I want to say:
1. My English is fine.
2. I don't need Miss Frost.
3. I was top of my class at Vidya Mandir"
This Shows that Ravi doesn't like America and doesn't like the school. I know this because Ravi keeps saying bad things about his school and America.

"Maybe Dillon Samreen will decide to pick on this new kid with the weird name and funny accent instead of me."

This is important because Joe does not want them to make fun of him and hopes they make fun of somebody else. ( which is not very nice )

The author writes on page 10 " This year , I'll have to go by myself to see Miss Frost, and I'm not sure who I am going to eat lunch with. Probably no one."
This shows that Joe does not like going to see Miss. Frost because  he will be by himsef and he will not have anyone to sit next to in lunch since both of his friends moved away over the summer. This means that he does not have any other friends since his other friends moved away.

The author writes on page 19. " I am just getting ready to open my stainless steel tiffin box, when Dillon Samreen walks by carying his tray"
This shows that Dillon hurt Ravi feelings because he thought that he would sit with him at lunch but he did not he just walked right by and did not even look at him our talk to him.

" Don't worry RAH-vee," she says, patting me on the shoulder. "You can introduce yourself to the class later, after you've had a little time to work on your English. We have a nice teacher named Miss Frost in the resource room. I'm sure she can help you." Page 7

This shows that Mrs. Beam is judging Ravi and is not giving him a chance because he talked to the class once and she is already judging him.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 41 the Arthur writes "I don't need to impress him," I say. "He already wants to be my friend."

This shows that Ravi does not like to open up to his parents about him making friends or not because he said to his dad that Dillon already wants do be his friend even though Dillon never asked to be Ravi's friend.

"In- two- three, out- two -three" pg.27

This shows that Joe has anxiety and that he is very nervous especially when Dillon is around.

# data[].attributes.body
"  I don't say anything, just keep my eyes glued to my shoes and breathe. In-two-three, out-two-three."

This shows that Joe is shy. He kept looking down at his shoes and breathing in and out. I think he is also very scared of Dillon too.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 28 the Arthur writes " When she sees me looking at her, she smiles and blows me a kiss.
I honestly think I might be having a heart attack."
What his mom did made Joe embarrassed because when Joe's mom blew him a kiss everyone one in the cafeteria saw.
