Vocabulary

1. Hodgepodge: Noun (Page 251)
- A heterogeneous mixture; jumble.
- A mixture of dissimilar ingredients
2. Appeased: Verb (Page 287)

Emerging Theme

One theme that consistently is emerging in the book would be that when a character performs an action, they always look back on why they did what they did. Ex. Tom threatens to commit suicide, so Johnny, after declining Tom’s love/ having a romantic relationship with him looks back on why he chose to tell Tom he was straight.
