"'Why didn't you ask to join us, back there, when you had a chance?' 'I don't know,' she said. 'I'm scared.' 'Scared of what?' I asked. 'Pizza?' 'Well it's too late now, anyway,' Mildred said." pg.207 I think that Mildred should have asked Christopher Goodman to come to have pizza.

I have tried to explain your death algebraically.  But there are too many unknowns to solve for.  The equation will not balance.  

I have tried to explain your death through the principles of quantum physics, but it seems they don't apply. (For a week I even held out hope that you were jumping off rocks in some tangential world that had split off the instant before the bullets hit you.)

 Is it God?  Did God set up the dominoes and wait for some human to flick the first one?  Or is it the opposite way around?  Did humans set them up so God could do the flicking?  And what about me?  Did I set up a domino?  And did I flick it?  Either way, I'm glad I've got God who is tough enough to withstand my blame and gracious enough to forgive my guilt.  I hope you can forgive it too.

Yours,
 Squib"

 This passage is my favorite because Squib shares his feelings about Christopher's death and he includes his theories about the death.  pg. 262]]> 2018-06-29 15:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bugarcicm_26/lkolk6abpthb/wish/268981287 bugarcicm_26 https://padlet.com/bugarcicm_26/lkolk6abpthb/wish/268981590 By: Allan Wolf]]> 2018-06-29 15:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bugarcicm_26/lkolk6abpthb/wish/268981590 bugarcicm_26 https://padlet.com/bugarcicm_26/lkolk6abpthb/wish/268981853 This book was mostly set in the summer of 1959 during Deadwood Days (this was similar to a carnival.
