  3. Conrad decides to attend a swim meet after school. He sits alone behind the freshmen. After the meet he runs into Lazenby, Stillma, and some other old friends. Stillman makes a crack about Salan boring him with all the talk about Buck Jarrett and Conrad hears. Stillman keeps making obnoxious cracks until Conrad snaps and starts beating him up. Lazenby pulls him away and they talk. Conrad says they are still friends but it hurts him to be around him. Lazenby says he lost Buck too. Conrad goes home and washes his clothes. He is barely holding on and punishes himself by making himself sit and wait. 2. Chapter 1 Summary

  4. “Each small punishment he inflicts could lessen the larger one” (3). • To me, this quote is significant because it shows how Conrad thinks. His attempt at suicide was a “large” punishment he inflicted upon himself. Inflicting small punishments may be a way of lessening some of the pressure. 3. Significant Quote

  5. Conrad was doing so well up to this point. But one thing he wasn’t dealing with was his friends. So I’m not surprised he eventually snapped. I’m not sure how he’ll handle this, but I think it’s going to depend a lot on how his parents react. 4. How Conrad changed in the chapter

  6. The major conflict in this chapter is between Conrad and Stillman. However, the fact that Lazenby points out that Stillman has always been a pain says the conflict is really between Conrad and his friends, something he hasn’t dealt with. He has separated himself, rather than letting then share and help him with his grief. 5. What is the major conflict in this chapter?

  7. Alliteration: “Truan the best backstroker around, maybe even as good as Buck” (177) • Personification: “Laughter surges upward from the stair well” (178). • Personification: “Shouts of laughter push outward” (178). • Metaphor: “An abrupt silence. It stabs deeper than the words” (178). • Hyperbole: “…as he slams his fist, hard, against that face – a sweet rush of mindless ecstasy washes out everything in perfect release and makes him whole again” (179). 6. Five literary terms

  8. At the swim meet, the parking lot, and then at Conrad’s home. 7. Setting of Chapter 1

  9. 1. How do you think this fight will affect Conrad’s progress toward healing? • 2. How do you think his parents should handle things? 8. Two discussion questions for Chapter 22
