4Q #7 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

Henry’s little sister Louisa wanted to climb the Katahdin. What had begun as a quest to simply prove his own worthiness in his brother's memory becomes an struggle of far greater weight for Henry, as he recognizes that, his father's teaching that "if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you," Trouble is an necessary part of living. Through his experiences on the journey. I think that Henry learned that, in order to live well, one must learn to "live where Trouble is," and he yet climbs Katahdin in search of the strength within himself to do just that.

As I was reading my book. There was a flash back. In the bing of this book, Henry’s father said, “if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. And at the ending of this book. I know this because, in the book it states. Henry had a flash back of his father saying "if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. This proves that Henry was thinking about his father saying trouble is everywhere, no matter where you go.

As I was reading my book. There was a memory moment. Henry anted to climb the monument that Franklin wanted to climb. No one has never climb it. They say that “If you climb it, you will never come back alive.” I know that this is a memory moment because the book it states, "I want to climb the mouton  for I can make my brother proud”.

Henry use to hold  Louisa hand u hide under the blankets whenever the Wicked Witch comes. And they waited until the music changed. And when it did, that means Dorothy and Toto were back on the Yellow Brick Road again.

4Q #6 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

It was  a storm throughout the whole chapter 4. Henry was looking for his mom outside the house. He did not find her, so he went outside to go look. He found her outside looking at something. As soon as Henry walked over to his mom. He seen "most of the beach within the cove was gone. Close in, the black boudoirs had been torn down into a jumble. Between them and the far end of the cove, only a small strip of sand remained. And a the far end lay uncovered the framing and decking of an old ruined ship.” Henry walked to the ship with his mother to check it out. "Mrs. Smith gave Henry this cautionary news, he had to talk about it all over Whittier Academy, and Mr. DiSalva was so excited that he was already planning a Whittier field trip to Salvage Cove.” Reporters want to make an interview about Henry about the ship, but hi mom said no to the reporters.  Henry and his family had to go to Manchester courthouse and Chay Chouan’s, because he was by the boat and the boat was not his property. Louisa did not want to going, she have not been out her room ever seems her old brother Franklin’s  accident.

As I'm reading, I can see that this family is going thought a lot. I know this because  Louisa does not want to come out of her room ever since Franklin's accident. Franklin had an accident and lose one of his arm. And Henry's family have to go to Manchester courthouse and Chay Chouan’s, because he was by the boat and the boat was not his property. I know this family is going thought a lot because they book states "His father, in the front passenger seat, was staring blankly out the window. Louise, next to Henry, was pressed against the seat and already crying silently." Just by this sentence this shows that not only they are going thought a lot, they are really sad and depressed. 

4Q #5 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

As Henry and his mom went to go check up on Franklin, Franklin was looking for Henry. As soon as Franklin seen Henry, Franklin said “Katadin.” Henry didn’t known what meant. Then He thought about it, and remember. Franklin had told him “If you climb the “Katahdin," you have guts. You can handle anything.” This tells me that, if Henry climes the “Katadin”, he could handle “trouble”.  Louisa came out of her room and Henry seen her. As there mother walked in to the kitchen Louisa ran straight to her mother and gave her a big hug. Henry went to school the next day. All of his teacher was asking him question like “How is your brother?”, “Is it true that he lost his arm?” Was he in pain?” and more….. 

As I’m reading this book. there was a memory moment. I know this because, in the book it states “Handle Trouble. Like, suppose you hear at school that someone who doesn’t deserve to be at Longfellow Prep is talking with Louisa. And maybe he wants to do more then talk.” This proves thats Henry had a flash back of his brother telling him about the “ Katahdin”.

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

They haven’t seen Louisa ever seen Franklin accident. Henry got an kayak. 

“He hadn’t really decided where he was going”. He had explored north along the coast. "Later, he had explored south near Manchester, paddling among the marina docks and the hight prowed boats, then along beaches stretched beneath the houses of Old Money—like his own”. In the morning he headed straight out from Salvage Cove. He is doing the is because he wants to keep his mine off of his brother Franklin accident. As Henry was kayaking, he seen a dog in the water. He went to go help the dog but the dog was being a bit pain in the butt. As soon as Henry got to the shore. Henry was laying on the floor and the dog was too. “Dog and boy breathing heavily and to the same rhythm, the salt strong in their mouths. The dog was not in good shape, the dog was really skinny and you could she her bones. Henry thinks the reason why she was in the water is because she was looking for food. Henry took the dog to the kitchen to feed here. His father came in the kitchen and he seen the dog, at first he did not like the dog, but then he look in her eyes and he feel in love with the dog. Henry’s family went back to the hospital and Franklin has another seizure.

Throughout this book. I think that Henry is a brave and intelligent kid. I say that because he is going through a lot. Such as, him dealing with his father saying “Stay out of Trouble”, his brother having that accident and having seizures, Henrys little sister doesn’t want to come out of her room cause of Franklin accident. I know this because in the book it states “He kicked off his shoes and rolled up his pants, drew on the life jacket, then carried the kayak into the water until it floated bow up, stern up, blowup, stern up on the low waves.” This proves that Henry wants to keep his mine off of everything, and not worry even tho he is still worry for his brother.        

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

Henry father told him "that if you build your house fed enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. They lived where their family use to live for 300 years. Henry house begun in 1678 with his seventeen ancestors. Henry has a brother name, Franklin, and a sister name, Louisa. On Sundays, Henry’s family would go to St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. His family had owned a pew since 1680.  Henry was one of the smaller rugby players. "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find”, as they say. Henry’s 14th birthday the straps of the backpack his parents had given him so he could show Franklin how ready he is for he can go to the hiking trip up “Katahdin", and Franklin think the Henry ready to go so he "agreed to take him”. Someone had hit Franklin with there car when Franklin was running and they are at the Hospital. He had "assess the damage”.  Henry’s mom had left an letter saying that about the accident. “Franklin’s arm was gone. That his brain had swollen and that the Doctors were using drugs to relieve the pressure”.

Throughout my reading I have noticed that Henry's dad was constantly saying "Stay away from trouble".  This reminds my of an Again and Again moment.  I know this because the text states "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find".  This proves that Henry's father Does not want him to get in trouble or hurt because he constantly saying "Stay away from Trouble". Anther reason why I know his is because in the texts it states, "There was only Now. On the hospital. Where they all sat in the middle of Trouble". This proves that there is "Trouble" no matter why they go.
