I feel like this really shows how important the newbie dinner was for bringing this team together. If they had never had that dinner, none of them would have understood why Curron's jokes could be so hurtful for Sunny. They might have just let this moment slide and Sunny would have just suffered quietly.

This one caught my eye because it's so true. You can't run away from yourself but you can choose to become better. Chasing your dreams can be hard, but not impossible.

I think that what he is trying to say is that he didn't mean to do anything wrong. All he needed was to get something that his mom wouldn't have to work so hard for every day.

Ghost and Otis have something in common but they didn't learn that from the newbie dinner

I can kinda relate, actually. You must know what Cadburry cream eggs are, right? anyway, I wanted one but Alodia wasn't willing to buy me candy because, well, candy. And I stole it.

I feel like this is saying that trying to change who you are or change your past is futile, and probably damaging. Instead, it's much better to think about where you want to go, and who you want to be when you get there. Ghost has a difficult past that makes him "feel like I have scream inside me" but he doesn't have to let it dictate his future. He can choose where he wants to go and decide which path to follow.

I feel like this is saying that a good person can make bad choices. We have seen in the book that Ghost is a kind, thoughtful person (he gives Brandon a pass when other kids are mean to Brandon). But we also know that Ghost stole the shoes. But he stole them because his family is poor and he wants to do well on the Defenders. We all make mistakes and wish we'd acted differently, and here Ghost is thinking about how his one action (stealing the shoes) don't define him as the only thing he is.

I  disagree with this statement: "It seems here that he's trying to convince himself that he's something better than he is." It is almost impossible for us as very privileged people (who can learn remotely and safely during COVID with good technology) to understand how Ghost's life feels.

Josh, this is such a good point. It's interesting that Coach Brody chose not to share this secret. I wonder how his relationship with Ghost will change now that they've shared this secret?

Yes.

Cara, I totally agree with this.

I know. That's why I deleted the responce because I think I misread it.

I agree with Zoe. You can't just run away from your past and expect that it won't ever be a problem again, but you can run towards your future and be who you are.

I disagree, he didn't really need them to survive or things like that, so it doesn't make it an extenuating circumstance

I think this quote gives us a reminder that all the other kids didn't have very good childhoods, just like ghost.

# data[].attributes.body
you make a good point, but he was pretty scared the other kids would laugh at him, so he felt like he needed them to survive.
