What theme is seen throughout the story? Support your answer with one piece of evidence. 

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme is understanding and accepting because terry easily used to get embarrassed by his dad before he knew what really happened to him but now that he talked to him and understands why he has Vietnam syndrome he is more accepting of it. "And maybe his father would never be
truly normal. But Terry also knew that it didn’t matter. He would try to understand, and the
trying would have to be enough. He would try hard from now on, and he would not be
embarrassed when his father’s eyes went away. He would not be embarrassed no matter what
his father did. Terry had knowledge now. Maybe not enough and maybe not all that he would
need. But it was a start."

# data[].attributes.headline
In paragraph 2, the author writes that what really bothered Terry was when his father's eyes went away, what do you think this phrase means? 

# data[].attributes.subject
In paragraph 2, the author writes that what really bothered Terry was when his father's eyes went away, what do you think this phrase means? 

# data[].attributes.body
I think this means that terry has been told things from his mom and doctors but doesnt understand what it really means or what it is doing. this makes it hard for terry to see his dad when things happen to him because he doesnt understand the reason

# data[].attributes.headline
Why do you think the author started the story by describing Terry's problem? What effect does this have on the reader? 

# data[].attributes.subject

# data[].attributes.subject
Terry felt his brain swirl, a kind of whirlpool pulling,

# data[].attributes.body
denotation: brain swirled
connotation: thinking of a lot things, regretting what he said.
the mood of this negative because after terrys dad is having a moment he realizes he maybe shouldnt of asked and hes worried about his dad because of the way his dads voice sounded and how hes reacting

# data[].attributes.headline
It was more than he’d ever said about Vietnam, and his voice was breaking.

# data[].attributes.subject
It was more than he’d ever said about Vietnam, and his voice was breaking.

# data[].attributes.body
The figurative language that was used in this sentence is hyperbole. I think this is a hyperbole because the author is explaining his voice breaking meaning he is having trouble saying out his words and they use voice breaking as an example to show the readers what terry heard his dad

"scribbling all over the wall like a crazy person." - the war of the wall"

# data[].attributes.body
The figurative language that this sentence is simile.  I think that this is a similie because it is comparing the girl to a crazy person using like. I think the author used to help the readers understand how the twins pictured the painter and maybe how it affected their mood

# data[].attributes.body
the denotation of this is just her coming to the store not having any coupons to buy anything but the Connotation is thinking they are too rich for coupons or they don't even need them. The mood of this connotation is negative because Raven is talking about her dads family in a negative way how she thinks they have  more money or don't even need to worry about saving up coupons. I think the author added this to show how raven seeing her dads family have new things that she hasn't ever had the privilege makes her think worse of them. From this we can learn that raven is easily judging her dads new family without actually knowing Brooke.

"The black cottonwood trees with their healing balm release more of their white fluff,"

# data[].attributes.subject
"The black cottonwood trees with their healing balm release more of their white fluff,"

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation- Trees, fluff falling off
Connotation- healing their relationship
The mood of this is positive because it shows how brooke and ravens relationship is healing and growing. I think the author used this to show how in the begginging the relationship was rough but they have now bonded and are starting to get along

# data[].attributes.body
in this scene of dialogue brooke and raven finally talk to each other and it seems like they are kinda bonding on what brooke did and how they will keep a secret together. you can tell by the way they are talking that they are starting to trust each other and raven will do whats best for her sister. This moves the plot forward because it starts a new relationship between raven and brooke and they end up doing sister things and hanging out for the rest of the week. It tells us about brooke and raven that they dont hate each other and they both want a younger/ older sister relationship

# data[].attributes.body
in this scene of dialogue the characters are arguing about the campfire story they were told and if its real or weather or not they are scared or not. in this scene you can see that brooke is starting to try and stand up for herself and prove to the girls that she isnt afraid of the story.  you can see by the other girls dialogue they dont believe mercy. it moves the plot forward and shares with us why brooke wants to go to the tree house so bad and prove to the other girls she isnt a scaredy cat the readers can infer that the other campers dont like brooke very much or dont think very highly of her

# data[].attributes.subject
"The sun has said good night and now we are sitting under an ocean of stars. They shimmer like the glitter"

# data[].attributes.body
There are 2 types of figurative language in this sentence. the first is personification because it is saying how i nonliving thing (the sun) is given living features like saying goodnight. and the second one is a simile because it is comparing the stars to glitter. i think the author added these because he wanted the reader to be able to visualize and understand how the sun is going down and what the stars look like as the star gets dark

The characters in the story are arguing about who should be the one to knock on the door of their former teacher. The reader can understand that they are maybe shy or nervous about seeing their teacher for the first time in a while. Its important because it shows how the characters love their teacher and want to make sure their visit is perfect. This also helps the reader understand more about the characters feelings toward the teacher and they now have to decide who will knock

Denotation: painting over the wall, covering up what was there to make something new.
Connotation: ruining the wall. painting something bad
The mood in this is negative because the kids are sad about their wall getting painted on and thy think that no matter what it will look bad.i think the author used this phrase because he wants the readers to know how the kids feel about the wall and how they over exaggerate it being terrible. it added the frustration of the kids. we learn the kids weren't thinking about the painters and only thinking something they thought was only theirs
