Keeper 'n' Me

1. I believe I will stay in White Dog to figure out my family history. There is still much I do not know about my family and much I need to learn. My mom and I grow closer each day and I learn more and more as I go. When I first arrived I felt like I did not belong and that this is not my home, but as the days go by I feel more and more like staying instead of running away.

2. When Garnet talks about the winds ripping through his guts and the hole in his chest, he is talking about not belonging and not quite ever finding who he was or where he belongs. When he talks about the wind whistling through his ears instead of his guts he means that he's finally found where he belongs and who he is and who his family is.

3. I felt lost like Garnet when I first started school here. I was different from everybody else. I could not run, plays sports, or do most of the things that the other kids could do. I did not know how to get through the problems I had. My brothers were the ones who told me I wasn't much different from anybody else and got me playing with many of the kids that I would not play with before.
