01 奥吉出生以前,家人们将所有的爱集中到Via一个人的身上。但是当弟弟出生后,爸爸妈妈把大量的时间和精力转移到奥吉的身上,懂事的姐姐明白父母并不是因为偏心才把爱给了弟弟,所以姐姐从小就学会了自己处理很多事情。
读书时了解到Via的梦想是成为一名科学家或者基因学家,因为她想要治愈向奥吉一样的人。
02 从Justin的眼中看出奥吉爸爸妈妈的:they’re listening to every word like they’re really interested.
03 为了保护自己,奥吉经常带着helmet, 而且不愿意摘下helmet,无论是冬天或者夏天,他依然会戴着他最喜欢的helmet,一戴就是两年。其实读者知道奥吉是以这样的方式来保护自己。
参加毕业典礼前,爸爸向奥吉坦白原来他的helmet是父亲故意扔掉的,父亲解释到他更加喜欢看到奥吉的脸,一个有温度的脸,而不是整日戴着遮挡自己的脸的helmet。父亲和奥吉就像朋友一样,父亲说,你要答应我别给妈妈提起这件事情,否则She will kill me.
04 原来Daisy是从流浪汉那儿买的,那时的狗狗脏兮兮的,妈妈也是一副嫌弃的样子。
05 Via的好朋友虽然犯过一些错误,但是最后还是好心的设计了一场戏
06 奥吉和Jack在树林里看到几个抽烟的七年级学生,他们问起奥吉的脸是怎么回事,还说他是外星人,甚至有人还挡着路,这时Jack说了一句很酷的话:leave him alone, 看到比自己高一个头的高年级, Jack依然想要保护自己的好朋友,读到这儿,发现Jack真是位酷酷的男孩。后来高年级Eddie和jack打架时,同班晨读miles,henry and amos冒出来,立马说道: leave them out,曾经那些势力的孩子他们变了,变得更好了。
07 奥吉回家,把事情的经过都给家人描述了一遍,于是好奇地问妈妈:当我长大的时候,我要总是担心这些混蛋吗?妈妈说:世界上总有一些混蛋,但是我们要相信世界上有更多的好人,他们会关心照顾彼此,就像是Jack,henry,amos,以及其他的孩子。
几个片段:
“Okay,” said Amos, “but, little dude, don’t walk around here alone again, okay? If you need to go somewhere, tell us and we’ll go with you.”
I did notice as I walked that Amos had stayed right next to me. And Jack was close on the other side of me. And Miles was in front of us and Henry was in back of us. They were surrounding me as we walked through the crowds of kids. Like I had my own emperor’s guard. (蛮搞笑的一个片段 ~)
“No, sweetie, don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?”
