**Event Connector: Danielle** //Pg 3-45 P.g 15// This boys story reminds me of another book called Ruby Holler in the like that he is an orphan and is being moved 3 times from one master to another very quickly. Shania agreed on the fact that he was being moved from one master two another very quickly, but hadn't read the book, so therefore couldn't reflect on the connection. Kaitlyn argued the fact that he was being moved quickly and pointed out he had only been moved 2 times as the first was an orphanage and that isn't a master. Adit had nothing to say on the subject and neither did Han Kyu //pg.46// The toothless bear fighting against packs of dogs reminded me about the book //White Fang// by Jack London. In //White Fang// there were dog fights and I think both of the situations are cruel. //pg.59// falconer killed a person because he called Falconer a "filthy Jew". I connected this with //The Diary of Anne Frank// by Anne Frank, in which Anne Frank herself is kept in a confinement camp because Adolf Hitler didn't like Jewish people. //pg.90// This is a personal connection because when I read the part about Widge's table book being stolen it reminded me of the time last semester when my phone was stolen. The response to this was "Really?", "Wow!", or "I didn't know that!" There was a lot more talk about this more than the other connections I had made. **Event Connector: Shania**

I was the event connector. I admit that it was a pretty hard job to do. There was a part in the book when the other kids wanted Widge to tell them a story. This reminded me of the movie ‘Bedtime Stories’ because it was very similar. The children begged their uncle for a story but the uncle didn’t want to. Same with Widge, he didn’t want to either. Another connection was the part when Widge was very surprised that he would actually get paid for his work. I remembered the old days when poor people worked very hard but never get paid for it and the money went to the richer guys. It must be hard to earn money in those days. Lastly, Widge had a decision to make. He had to choose between his friends or his life. There’s a TV series ‘The Suite Life on Deck’ and there was this guy who had to decide between his friends or money. I think both of them are pretty hard decisions.======
