According to my research, people who have the condition albinism can´t see very well. This is due to the lack of pigment in their iris. This causes them to see everything blurry and sometimes if an object is far enought away from them, they can see that object at all. ]]> 2022-03-08 14:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084114832 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084118761 I think Habo and Asu have a good relationship. When Enzi slaps Habo, Asu tries to defend him and yells at Enzi when no one else does. I think Habo doesn't have a good relationship with the rest of the family because he is albino. When the goats are missing, Enzi is very mad at Habo and slaps him. Their mother also does nothing about it. ]]> 2022-03-08 14:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084118761 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084132091 I think that Chui and Enzi are going to continue to be mean to Habo for not being like everyone else and he will continue to not accept him as a person.]]> 2022-03-08 14:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084132091 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084924054 On page two of the book, the author states ¨No you cannot stay here anymore¨. This is a little while after the big men came into the house and talked with the mother and sister. Since they can afford to pay off their rent, the men are telling them that they could no longer stay at the house where they live. Golden Boy found out this information by evesdropping and trying to listen to what the men were saying. All of his happiness just left his body after he heard his mom and his sister begging to the men. ]]> 2022-03-08 22:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084924054 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084948930 On page one of the book, the author said ¨My skin burns so easily that I could never do this in the middle of the day, no matter how hot it was¨. People who albinism condition have super little to no pigment on their bodys. Therefore they are not protected from the UV rays of the sun. Since Habo has this disorder, he has to wear extra clothing that will cover up his entire body. Althought, it now evening time and the sun is not as bright right now so Habo could enjoy the nice breeze running across his body. Now that it is semi dark outside his skin will not burn. ]]> 2022-03-08 22:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084948930 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084954593 The author states ¨I need to get the goats¨. The goats have escaped their pen. Since Habo was listening to the conversation this sister and his mother were having with the big men, he gave the goats just enough time for them to chew the rope that keepsthe gate locked. The were able to open up the gate and escape. Now all of his family members are mad at him for leaving the goats unattended. ]]> 2022-03-08 22:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084954593 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084961975 Habo and his entire family are offically leaving their home. Due to them not making enough money to pay the rent, the landlord kicked them out of the house. However, their is a slight disagreement between the family. Enzi does not want to flee from their home. He thinks that they will make no money in the country they are about to move to. This makes the mother very upset because he is basically the only father figure of the family now that the dad left. But, he did make an agreement with mom that once the coffee picking season is over and all of the goats are sold (Now that Hablo got them back), he move into the place they will move to. However, he just decided to end up fleeing their home with family instaed of staying behind on his own.]]> 2022-03-08 22:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084961975 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084989240 The text states ¨Don´t even think about it Habo! she said. Dont you dare think about shaming us in the city¨. Habo´s mother does not want him to follow Asu. She stops him immedatly, as soon as he makes an effort to leave the house. Since he has such light colored skin he is very different compared to the people who live in the city. His mother thinks that Habo is an embarresment to the family. She thinks that people will make fun of her for having a super light skin tone.]]> 2022-03-08 23:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084989240 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084992416 The text states ¨he left right after I was born¨. This quote is realting to Haboś father and how he left the maily right after he was born. I believe that his father left the family because he had a son that was albino. In his culture, that is considered a punishment from God and is a sign of bad luck. Maybe he did not want to have that curse on himself, so he thought the only way he could wash away the curse is by getting as far away from the child as humanly possible. ]]> 2022-03-08 23:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084992416 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084996579 Later on page 14, he is very curious about the people who go on safaries in Africa. He notices that sometimes the people have white skin, simular to his. He wonders if they have the same condition as him, but they really don´t. They were just born from realitives from Europe. They are not at all albinos, but instead thay just have lightly colored skin. Unfortunatly, he really does not have anybody who has the same cndition as him, and understands his issues. ]]> 2022-03-08 23:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2084996579 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2085000536 The author states ¨who would I call¨. This quote shows how much Habo has no friends. His is super diverse from his peers and probably gets bullied and seperated from the other kids in his village. Since some of his older realitives want to go and call some people they are really close to, he wonder who he would call if he got the chance to call someone. No one really come to his mind which really shows his popularity.]]> 2022-03-08 23:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2085000536 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2085005751 The book says ¨Hey white boy¨. The kids that aboarded the bus notice. They start to make fun of him for his skin color. They start off by saying in a not so nice tone hey white buy. The they say that he is an animal and he has a secret dad because all of his family members are black. This really makes him mad and his family members start to get aggrivated as well. ]]> 2022-03-08 23:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2085005751 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086081077 Habo's mother decides to disguise the family as Maasai to sneak through the Serengeti. I think she is brave to do so because anyone can catch them. It is also more dangerous for Habo because he is an albino and most people think he's strange. I think Habo would have to be protected more. ]]> 2022-03-09 13:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086081077 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086087680 I think that Habo is getting bullied by the boys and Habo is getting discriminated by them because he looks different and they also don't see him as normal, they also don't think of him being related to his mother.]]> 2022-03-09 13:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086087680 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086672049 On this page of the book, the family got new clothes that look like the clothes that people wear in the city that they are in. The mom and the family are trying to prentend that they are just regular people who live in the village, so that they don´t have to pay any extra fees. Personally, I think that this was very smart of them because of their financial position. They do not have a lot of money. Therfore they are trying their absolute hardest to try and save up money for the items that they would need the most. This is crucial for them in case they need to buy a bus ticket for an emergency, or they might need the money to buy extra food for themselves. ]]> 2022-03-09 18:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086672049 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086687864 On this page, Asu is helping Habo. Because they were walking around in the sun all day long, the skin on his feet got burnt. His whole family is asleep under a trees at this moment. However, Habo got the urge to wake up Asu for a remeedy that will make his feet feel better. Indeed, Asu does give him the ointment he needs. Now, I feel like Asu and Habo have a good realtionship. Asu took the time to get up from her nap and help Habo with his burns. This really shows how much Asu really cares for Habo. After all I finally think that someone in the family acually likes Habo. He is no longer abadoned by all of the people in his family. Peronally, I think that this was so sweet of Asu and now I think Habo is much happier. ]]> 2022-03-09 18:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086687864 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086703276 On these pages, Habo decideds to listen in on the conversation between this newly introduced man named Alasiri and his sister. He hears a comment from the new man that made him feel like he was flirting with her. Now he tries to protect his sister, despite the man being much older and bigger than him. I think that this was very nice of him to help out his sister. Before, his sister was helping him wit his burns, now Habo is trying to protect her the same way she protected him. Habo does not like the comments the man makes about his sisters looks. But at the same time, he does not want to ruin this chance that his siter is getting that may make her life much better than the life she is living right now. ]]> 2022-03-09 18:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086703276 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086789752 The text starts off by setting the scene of Habo´s very first day of school. He has to walk to school with some of his family members. However, his brother Chui does not want to walk to school with him. He almost thinks that his brother is an embarresment. I think that their relationship is not very strong. Chui does not seem to like his brother and it maybe due to the fact that he is albino. He might think that kids will judge him because his brother does not have the same exact color skin as him. It also seems that Habo does not like his brother. He even says ¨I hate my brother¨. Therefore, I think these two are not close to each other. ]]> 2022-03-09 19:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086789752 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086803046 At this moment, the new man they they met up with, took the two boys on a hunting trip. They were hunting for elephant. In Africa, hunting elephants is highly illegal. What the men were doing was farworse. They were going to sell some of the body parts of the elephant for money. In particular, the tusks. These kids were unfortunatly placed in a bad situation. I think that this guy is trying to get them into trouble secretly and I think that the family should not trust him. At first he was flurtting with a kid was a little bit younger than him, then he went on an illegal hunting trip with the boys. In my opinion I think that this guy is a real trouble maker, and soon the whole family may all be in great danger. ]]> 2022-03-09 19:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2086803046 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2087078908 When Habo and Chui are returning with Alsiri they see that Asu and Habo's mother were prepared to fight Alsiri showing that even they do not trust him alone with their kids. This is an important detail because he though everyone there liked him but he saw that they don't trust him which may cause him to react 2 different ways. Either he will betray them because he see's that they already don't trust him, or he will try extra hard to gain their trust.]]> 2022-03-09 23:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2087078908 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2087086921 Due to his condition in albinism he is looked at weirdly by everyone even his brother is embarrassed to be seen around him so he try's to avoid him.

First of all, he calls Habo a zeruzero, which means "zero zero", which means nothing. Also, when Habo asks what Alasiri does when he is not on a safari, and Alasiri replys very rudely, then says "Well. We'll see how much your curiosity likes what it gets once I finish my coffe." To me, this line sounds very suspicious, and very untrustworthy toward Alasiri.]]> 2022-03-10 14:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2088399870 audrinapunzo2009 https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2088414372 On this page, Habo finally finds out what the white people look like, and how they are not like him, like he used to think. Habo's mother told him that some have yellow hair, blue eyes, and very light skin, but none of them shake their eyes back and forth. At this point, Habo knows that there are more of him out there, but he is begining to lose hope in finding anyone. Habo knows that there is even a word that describes his kind, "Albino".

Whenever he is around the strangley cheerful tourguide, he can't stop thinking about that lion. I think that this is the authors way of foreshadowing something very bad. In one of my other annotations, I mentioned that I didn't trust Alasiri, well here is a good reason to think that. In Crispin, the author used birds flying through the cloudy sky to foreshadow. This time, Sulivan (the author), is using a lion from Habos dream that was chasing him. Possibly, Alasiri might chase them, just like that lion, in the future.]]> 2022-03-10 14:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2088436059 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2088442041 I think Habo relates to the people who go on safaris because they look similar to him and probably want to be like them.]]> 2022-03-10 14:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2088442041 audrinapunzo2009 https://padlet.com/aidenpringle/vu19xw8ft2h557vd/wish/2093791039 So far, I don't know what I think about Auntie. I remember in the begining of the story, there was a sneak peek into this chapter, about Auntie. I remembe thinking, "It's so mean and rude to call him a zeruzeru" But now that I have read more of the book, I learned that an albino person being called a zeruzeru is quite normal. So far, Auntie has been a good person, I guess. Warning Habo and the rest of his family of what goes on in this town with all the albino killings and stuff. I think Auntie wants to rescue Habo just because she wants good for the rest of the family.
