In this week Alex, meet his new cellmate: a good kid called Donovan. He has been in here for five years. Donovan explained Alex that the worst punishment is to go to the hole: a place with not light at all, no food no communication and no water for three days. That day Alex went to work for the first time, he had a pick and he digs in a mine for three hours. When he was done, everyone went to eat and there was a gang called the skulls: where only murderers where allowed, making a boy lick everything they through to the ground. Alex did not like what he saw, so he attacks the skulls. In the middle of the fight, the alarm of lockdown sound and one of Alex’s friends called Zee went to rescue him just ion the time when the cells were closing and the dogs were fried to attack anyone outside from their cell.
Interesting Thoughts Throughout The Book
OMG! What kind of prison can punish the kids this way? I do not think that I could survive even one day in the hole. I will probably be death before they can rescue me from there because I will be so desperate that I will lose my mind. I could not survive in such conditions.
“I angled to the side to avoid the next punch that came in, then planted my palms in the middle of the Skull´s chest and shoved with all my might.” (Gordon 100)
How can Alex be so good at fighting of he just played soccer and never practice anything about fighting? Is the adrenaline that makes you act that way or is it just instincts? I will like to be like him good at everything that he does.
Final Ideas And Conclusions
This week reading, keep me turning pages over and over again without stopping. I did not want to the chapters to finish. I really like how the author describes every place and everything that happened with lots of details. He uses the five scenes to make you feel that you are in the book and living next to Alex. I can predict that Alex will have bad consequences, not only with the man who runs the jail but also with the gang: The Skulls.
