Tonight, we discussed pages 171-186 of Solito by Javier Zamora.

Our conversation centered on the following:

On pages 174-183, we see emotions of nine-year-old Javier Zamora we’ve not seen before or often. What emotions does he display? How does he communicate these emotions? What is Zamora doing to show this young boy’s emotions? Point to specific examples in the text.

We looked at instances of Zamora’s anger, loneliness, budding confidence, humiliation, fear, and other feelings.
