  • Cricket & Pitbull fight

    Cricket & Pitbull fight
    Pitbull beats up a helpless little boy after school oneday and it just sets cricket over the edge. Cricket and Pitbull start to walk to eachother angrily like they were about to pounce. They did fight and Cricket beat up Pitbull so bad he couldnt walk. which is supringing since Pitbull acts so bold and is a star football player. i think this a very important event because it changes how i viewed both of them. It also changes Wynonas thoughts on Cricket.
  • Cricket figures things out

    Cricket figures things out
    The day that cricket realized he neeeds to do something with his life was a big event in my opinion. You just get to see how he changes and thats always important in books. He knows he wants to be a professional fighter so hes trying harder noww to fulfill his dream. I chose a picture of a regular cricket because his name is cricket and we obvioulsy dont have a real photo so i think it fits.
  • Cricket tries to end it all

    Cricket tries to end it all
    At the end of the book Cricket decides he wants to end his life. He goes back to that cliff and jumps off. We hear his thoughts as this all happens. We listen to him tell us what hes seeing after he hits the water and it crushes him and the water burns his eyes. He describes this & wakes up in the hospital where he stays for two weeks. He later has to go back to school again. Through it all he has Mother Mary with him and at the very end after she helps lead him through life he watches her leave
  • The top of the Cliff

    The top of the Cliff
    When Wynona and Cricket are at the top of the cliff it leads to an intense moment. At first they're talking and having regular conversation. Then Wynona compliments Cricket, "You are very handsome." Something goes wrong after that. It sets him off the edge. He starts running around and yelling asking where Pitbull, Wynonas boyfriend, is. She said hes no where around and, i assume, scared and frightened she gets on her bike and leaves. This leaves us confused and speechless like the photo i chose
  • Meeting Wynona

    Meeting Wynona
    Wynona is a girl that Cricket has had a crush on for years. He doesnt really have anyone in his life and he feels like no one cares about him. But when Wynona comes into his life she shows him that life is a lot better than hes been living it. This moment gives him all hope for life preventing him from killing himself likes hes thought of and given motivation for the future. I chose this photo because i look at it as Wynona and Cricket happy together
  • Cricket comes back to school

    Cricket comes back to school
    After his supension Cricket finally comes back. Hes extremely nervous becasue of amny reasons. He lists off his 3 top worries. Number 1 is Pitbull. Even though he beat him up he feels like Pitbull will come back at him but not alone. 2nd he is worrying about all the schoolwork he was sent during the suspension. 3rd is Principle LaChance, if he finds any reason to to get Cricket in trouble he will kick im out of school. I chose this picture because it represents him by showing how he is feeling.
