In Chapters 17-22, Thomas J goes through some tough times. One of the Benson twins passes away, and he has to go visit the remaining twin in the hospital as well as attend Jefferson’s funeral. He and Mr. Mason have a talk in the car, and Mr. Mason shares a story about his mother that he has never before told anyone.
Put yourself in Thomas J’s situation. He has no real family, and the only people who have ever cared for him are no longer able to. How would you react if you were Thomas J? Do you think Mr. Mason’s story would help you cope with the situation?

If I was in Thomas J’s situation, I think Mr.Mason’s story would help and make me feel better. It would also be sad to not know who you are or how old you are.

If I was Thomas J, I think that after hearing Mr. Mason tell me about him when he was my age, would set a point and help me feel better. Cause not having a family or not knowing how it feels to have one would sort of make me feel upset. Like not knowing about my parents or anything. It would make me feel as if I came in this world not knowing what I was doing, why I was here and who I was. I can’t imagine how it feels to not know anything not even knowing my own name.
