3 Plot/ Setting

4 Begg, Zanny. The Boys Home: Making Art in Juvenile Detention Centre. theconversation.com. 27 August Web. 6 February Digital File. Juvenile Boys Home: Miguel was in a group home at the beginning of the book. As part of his sentence, he needs to write in a journal, and that s the format of the whole book. He describes the group home, named The Lighthouse: Yo, this group home s full of punks and posers and loudmouths and skeleton-ass baseheads. There s... a bunch of goofy inspirational sayings like Life is 5% what happens to you and 95% how you deal with it. Yo, deal with this, I said in my head, and when I saw nobody was watching, I spit a fat loogie on the cheap plastic frame (de la Pena 14). This scene demonstrates the negative attitude Miguel has for most of the book. Road trip along the coast: After escaping from the group home with fellow inmates Mong and Rondell, the three set out along the coast of California. Miguel writes in his journal, It was dark as hell and the sky was full of dirty stars. On one side of the road was nothing but sand and ocean, on the other it was these steep green cliffs full of baby trees and wild bushes. It almost didn t seem like America anymore. We re north of Santa Cruz, Mong said (111). Though adventure had started as exciting, all three were beginning to get weary and lonely. Scenic Drives in California. californias.com Web. 6 February Digital File.

5 Mong s Human Tooth Necklace The character Mong was a mean and mysterious fellow resident at the group home who talked Miguel into escaping. Miquel asks Mong, Yo, man, what sup with that flea-bitten tooth you always got around your neck? (de la Pena 184). Although Miguel thought it must have some meaning, Mong explained, I don t know whose it is. I found it on the ground somewhere like three years ago (184). Mong was unique, strange, and deeply troubled, but Miguel ended up bonding with him as they continued their journey. Something to Chew On. Caringhandsdentistry.com. 14 January Web. 6 February Digital File. Black Duffel Bag The duffel bag kind of becomes the shared possession of Miguel, Rondel, and Mong as they travel, though really it s Miguel s. After meeting up with some girls, Miguel realizes he and Rondel are in deep trouble. He writes in his journal about his discovery: [I] Reached in [my bag] for the petty-cash envelope and looked inside.the money, man. It was gone (280). This marked a turning point in which he and Rondel had to decide what to do next, and it ultimately brought them to Miguel s grandparents. Leather Duffel Bags. wayfair.com Web. 6 February Digital File.

6 Miguel s books: Miguel reads a lot, most of classic books he d learned about in school. They include The Color Purple, Of Mice and Men, and The Catcher in the Rye. He wonders about the title of Salinger s book: My only thing is I still don t get the title. Is he saying he s like one of those kids who s running through the fields? Like maybe he used to be innocent like that and people just let him go but without catching him? Or is he saying he s older now and pictures himself saving little kids? Or maybe it s just some metaphor I m not totally getting. No matter what, though, it s still a great book (de la Pena 278). The books guide him and give Miguel hope for a normal life. 9 Must-Read Classics by American Authors. Readers.com. 9 June Web. 6 february Digital File. Miguel s past: Throughout the whole book, the story of why Miguel was in the group home is a secret. Before they leave from the group home, Miguel grabs each of the person s files and later reads them. Mong s file reads, September 13, 2006: Father shot wife in back of head while she slept, killing her instantly. Father shot Mong in face, intending to end his life also, then placed gun in own mouth and committed suicide. Mong survived with major injuries to head and face (137). Miguel realizes that each of them is wounded and troubled far beyond what is normal. Kutcher, Andy. Shh It s a Secret- Pinterest Launches Secret Boards. fscinteractive.com. n.d. Web. 6 february Digital File.

7 Theme I didn t know where we were going, or how we were gonna get there, or why. None of these things came into my head. I just knew to keep moving forward. And to look at the sand. I had to do just like the marine marching into war. Keep marching. Don t think about it. Look at the sand. These are your orders. This is what you re supposed to do (de la Pena 194).
