theme Saul loves to play hockey but racism limits him to what he can do.

Point of view The book was 1 st person because the book uses me and I.

Connections to me I have played inline hockey like Saul played ice hockey. My grandparents had their mouths washed out if they were bad like how the Indians had to if they spoke in their language.

Connections to resources I saw a movie of a French Canadian hockey player who was also racially abused

Life long lover of literature This book made me like literature because I thought it was interesting how he went from hiding from the white men to the school to saul playing hockey.
