Parts of the book are experiences of his childhood and the memories of the internal conflict he faced daily. He takes a 35,000 mile cross country road trip in none other than a special education short bus he names Bob Henry. On the way, he interviews adults and children with diverse disabilities to find how they have managed to stay true to themselves without the oppression of society. He places humor and lightness in a world that holds fear and resentment to the ones that do not fit the mold of ordinary. He doesn’t hold back on the fact that his own identity in school was based on his learning inadequacies, and the haunting memories of failure.
He was then arrested and taken to the Juvenile Delinquent Center for his outrageous behavior. The part that is even more unbelievable is that the parents were never notified. The whole time the arrest took place, Gault’s parents were at work. The police officer who arrested Gault made no effort whatsoever to inform the worried parents. Gault’s mom came home that day from work and could not find her son anywhere.

Scout has never seen snow before, and when she does, she is afraid. Many six-year-olds see something for the first time and are immediately scared of it. Another example of Scout’s immaturity happens on the first day of school when Scout has Walter Cunningham over for lunch. Scout explains, “Walter poured syrup on his vegetables and meat with a generous hand. He would probably have poured it into his milk glass had I not asked what the sam hill he was doing” (24).

The Journey Once there was a fireman named Gregory, he was what we call nowadays just an ordinary guy. One day he was walking down the street to head on home for the night and he just about bumped into a girl 17 years of age named Brooke Lynn. They got deep into their conversation, and then just before Brooke Lynn had to leave she just randomly asked Stripe, “Are you happy”, and then happily went into her house. He was very confused because no one ever had asked him that question before. His wife Maggie was wondering why he came home with a weird look on his face, and he told her the story about how he met Brooke Lynn.
The one cassava farm that had ravaged had not lasted long and there seem to be no rabbits or birds anywhere. They are even so desperate that when they come across a little boy eating two ears of corn, they steal it from him and share it among themselves. His parents do not confront the boys about their behavior, because they seem to know their desperate situation. In fact, later the little boy’s mother gives each of them an ear of corn. This makes Ishmael feel guilty for only a few minutes, because in his position, there isn’t much time for remorse.
He went to a different school, so none of my good friends knew him and acted like I was overreacting. I wandered from class to class, going through the motions but not really comprehending what was going on. It felt like a joke, like Jack wasn’t actually gone. I get home and there’s a plethora of Facebook statuses giving a tribute to their “Sunshine”, ironically, Jack’s nickname for his bright demeanor and shining happy smiles. This is when I realized, I wasn’t alone in this feeling of loss and sorrow.
