Steven was worried about Jeffery, so he played the drums to get his mind off the fall. “Before this, he had assigned me maybe two pages in each of three different exercise books every week. But now I was doing two pages a NIGHT in each book.”

Steven hasn’t been doing his homework and spacing out during class. “Steven stopped doing schoolwork, started staring off into space 85% of the time, and suddenly avoided any mention of his family.”

"My mom suddenly noticed that Jeffrey was limping “ this is important because this part of the story is when the mom notices that something is wrong with her son.

"then realized one last thing I hadn’t thought about since I’d walked in the door after school “...”Guess what mom? I’m going to be the star of my spring concert “
This is important because Steven thinks that his mom doesn’t care about him because his brother is sick

Page 65 “ I saw that Jeffrey was asleep in the backseat.”..Jeffrey never, ever used to sleep on car rides”. This is important because he is noticing that Jeffrey’s sickness is affecting the way he acts

Page 69 “My brother was really sick” this is important because Steven finally realizes his brother actually has cancer and that the doctors didn’t make a mistake

Page 73 “I realized I actually wasn’t mad at him” this is important because he wasn’t mad at his brother for throwing up on him, he felt bad because he had to watch his brother go threw all this pain.

Page 83 “I couldn’t really process what I was seeing. There was this truly pretty girl sitting at the piano” this is important because he starts to have this unusual feeling towards Annett that he has never felt before.

"So how come I wasn’t looking, Jeffry got cancer?”
The question made me wonder how Jeffrey got cancer. In the story, it became a big problem but, him being sick in the past hasn’t been mentioned in the past and now it appears. It really does make me wonder how Jeffrey got cancer and Steven didn’t notice as well as his parents

"Dad, how about sometime this week, just for kicks, you try making eye contact with me? Would it that be so painful.”
This makes me wonder how Steven realized how his dad was acting and his dad was acting like he was gone because, he didn’t want to talk about what happened to Jeffrey and what happened to Jeffrey made him really sad.

Page 90 Jeffery always liked to play games but “I tried to get him to play checkers, but he finally just wiped the pieces offthe  board and told me to go away.” That was very unusual for Jeffery, because sometimes Jeffery would get up at 6 o’clock to play games with Steven. And now he was so sick, he didn’t want to do anything.

Jeffery would usually talk on car rides but he was sleeping. “I saw that Jeffery was asleep in the backseat, and started to get nervous. Jeffery never, ever used to sleep on car rides.” This tells you Jeffery was very, very sick.

Page 74
Steven usually doesn’t let Jeffery play on his drum set, but since he was very sick Steven wanted to make Jeffery feel better, so he gave Jeffery a drum lesson. “Now let’s brush the taste out of your mouth and go... I don’t know... ummm... how about a drum lesson?” “Yay! Drum lesson!”

"As soon as I finished, I went downstairs to play the drums. And play the drums. And play the drums.”
I think this keeps happening again because I think it is describing how long Steven was playing the drums and I think he was probably playing the drums for at least an hour or it could be more or than an hour or less than an hour.

"On the drive over to the hospital, I had an odd realization: this was the first time in weeks that I had laughed with each family member of my family within a 24 hour period.” This means he hasn’t laughed in a long time with everyone, or someone.

The mom ask how much does it cost. She asked this because they don't have alot  of money left to pay the hospital.

Why did Steven bring Jeffrey’s Matt Medic action figure to the hospital?
He brought it because it is Jeffrey’s favorite action figure and to comfort Jeffrey when he is going threw treatment in Philadelphia
