Prompt: List three questions you have about what you read.

Why did Travis move from his old house?

I would ask this question because it seems like Travis really like his old house he had so many memories there. One memory is the memory of lossing his mom and dad. He was just in his house when his mother died in the hospital. Then a few months later his dad died while he was in the same house. It was his dads fault he died he was drunk driving and lost the steering wheel. Second memory was the loss of his second mom, dad, and a bit of brothers in the mix. His dog his dog Rosco was the best thing ever to him he comforted him and played with him because his grandpa was always drinking till one day he died. There are many more memories in the house but for some reason they moved. Tell me why they moved Pat Schmatz? May I call you Pat?

Why did you put Travis friends with Velveeta ?

I ask this question because Velveeta is so out going and travis is so quite. In my school people like that dont mix. The quite people are always left out hanging out with there own little group of friends. When I was younger there was always this kid that was so quite and I was the Velveeta. After a while he started talking to me and my group of friends. I was just wondering why you put them together? Pat after all I read I thought it was a good Idea but was it a personal experience.


Why is Travises Grandpa so lost in parenting?

What made you make Travises grandpa smoke, drink, and just a really bad parent in the beginning of the book. Did you ever have an experience liket Pat or was it just an idea. I liked how you made him become a better parent throughout the book. Overall your book was great Pat it was a little boring in the beginning but the more you read the better it got.
