Wow Cindy, Your vocabulary never ceases to amaze me (in a good way). You are absolutely right. He is a very "introverted" boy. And I agree with your reasoning. He is that way because he is always moving and always the "new" boy. I do know what you mean about putting everything in his little heart and locking it up. What a perfect way to express his character, really lovely. The only thing missing is at least one quotation. Still, this is an excellent piece of writing. You get better and better.
I'll send you an e-mail as soon as I finish the previous assignment's comments.
See you on Thursday. Laraine
