Stitches :: I Was Eleven :: "Words, words, words..."

Contrast:

- In this chapter a growth is found on David's neck. His mother repeatedly says that they don't enough money and that it cost too much through out the whole chapter. His dad gets a raise and instead of using it for the surgery on the growth, his mom and dad go out shopping every weekend for a while. They could care less about David's growth.

Question:

- Will David's parents realize that they are spending too much and not paying attention to David?

Journal: 

- From pages 138 - 147, the use of words in each of the frames is non-existent. In this book David feels as though a lot of the images really explain themselves. We as a reader don't need dialogue or narration on every page. Also, he wants us to think about if there was dialogue, what would we think it says. I think his choice to do this so far in the book, has really been effective. He encourages the reader to be more visual.
