In chapter 20, It is a hot summer day while is playing with Tilly. They were talking about crabs until Bradys father says he doesnt want to go crabbing and how he wants to be perching instead. But Brady has other thoughts that if his dad wont crab anymore how would he make money to pay for the house and the rest of the bills. At the end of chapter 20, Brady throws the screwdriver in the water, im guessing because hes mad.
In chapter 21 Brady thought that the evidence would e gone forever since the screwdriver Brady was continuely getting paid by Mrs Diangelo for doing chores for her. Brady thought he was paranoid because he thinks he saw Mrs Diangelos eyes tearing, but hes pretty sure its all just in his head making him believe things. Brady wanted to stop working for Mrs DiAngelo. that he doesn't want to be there anymore. I think this is because he is getting to paranoid around her house. In chapter 14 Brady goes to tell JT everything about the screwdriver. JT looked at the screwdriver oddly nervously. Brady then puts the pieces together that JT might have had to do something with Bens death. Jt tells him a little about it and how its not all his fault since it was Diggers idea. Brady then went to Digger's house to ask him if he knew anything about the screwdriver. Digger does not do anything exxept deny it and say he says he has no clue about it. But little did Digger know JT told Bady about it in which Digger was caught in a huge lie. Brady goes hometo decide what to do with the screwdriver.
In chapter 10, Brady talked to Carl in chapter 10 to get through this phase of depression. Brady hasnt talked much and does not want to do much things with anyone a this point.
Bens funeral was in chapter 11. Brady did not attend because he knew he would become even more sad by going and would keep reinding him that his friend is dead. In chapter 12 brady went over to Mrs DiAngelos house to help out with some chores. One time while Brady was over, he heard Mrs DiAngelo throwing up in another room. Brady had mixed thoughts but his mind came up to a conclusion. Later on he went back home to tell him mother he thinks Mrs DiAngelo is pregnant. Brady was in class until he got called into the office. While he was in the hallway people were congradulating him but he really did not kow why. His mother was waiting for him. She walked Brady to the car and sat him down, and broke the news to him that Ben died. Brady was devastated. He thought it was all his fault if he had onky gotten there five minutes ago he would have been fine.
In chapter 9, Brady went to the bay to go crabbing with his dad. Before they stepped out on the water, Brady went searching by the bay for the kayak. He kept looking all over the place, even though he thought it would be somewhere out farther in the bay. All of a sudden, Brady looked down to find his feet next to a sunken red kayak. In these chapters we get to know a little more in Brady's life. Brady does not want to talk to anyone much and is keeping himself from others, mainly his friends Digger and JT ever since the accident, but Bradys thinking it was more than the accident. He wants to be invisible at school. Brady wants to find out more answers regarding the accident from Carl. Seeing J.T. and Digger is just about the weirdest thing ever. J.T. seems to want to ignore the fact that Brady had plans with him or that they are friends. Digger just turns around completely in the sight of Brady. Brady then finds out some disturbing news from J.T.'s sister Kate. It turns out J.T. made up an excuse to not have to hang out with Brady.
Ben did have a funeral which Brady was invited to but he decided not to go, much like he didn't attend Amanda's funeral. Brady still can't figure out why is best friends won't even talk to him. All of the sudden Brady feels an urgency to help the DiAngelos, but finds out they are no longer living together. He still wants to help out with Mrs. DiAngelo who stayed in Maryland. Sadly, when Brady goes over to the house to help Mrs. DiAngelo isn' there. Out of nowhere his father becomes upset with Brayd telling him he needs to get back to his chores and helping out more. Basically saying he needs to move past what happened and forget about it all. |
