Prompt: Do any of the characters feelings change as you read? Explain why or why not.
Donald Zinkoff feelings change a lot during the book. One chapter he's sad, but then the next he's happy. For example, when he is the only person in his class to get an 100% on his test everybody wants to be around him, but when Field Day comes he's left out and forgotten. This might mean there will strong chance of the reader getting confused. You don't have to worry if you do get confused because that's normal.
I don't know about Andrew though. Andrew is one of the characters in the story that stays in the background but does have something to do with the story. You couldn't really tell the expression Andrew has when he met back with Zinkoff because his voice is neutral I guess. His feelings are neutral because you couldn't tell if he was sad, happy, or even angry because he has the same tone of voice. For example, when he asked Donald (Zinkoff) "....your dad still a mailman?" there's no expression because the book doesn't mention if he says it with a smile or even laugh.
Donald's dad you can if his feelings change easily. When his "new" car breaks down there would be a low tone, gloomy mood to his voice. You can tell when he wants to encourage Zinkoff and when he is unsure of his son. It makes the book a little more interesting than it already was because his dad is such an interesting and "colorful" person.
