  5. Plot summary • Chapter 9 takes place in two settings • Vista Heights and Jonathan’s memory

  6. Setting #1: Vista Heights • Mr. Roberts presents Jonathan with his test results • He shows him his strengths and areas in need of improvement • Strong in reading and problem solving • He will have to stay after school with Tommy to work on math • Jonathan admits to “almost liking” Mr. Roberts

  7. Setting #2: Jonathan’s memory • He describes his father’s way of winning over or frightening his teachers • He had one teacher, Mr. Crozier, fired • Memories of Jonathan’s life with his father include • Losing rent money in poker games • Helping his father escape from the police • Lying to the police about his identity • Staying in foster homes until his father would come for him

  8. Chase scene • In Chapter 9, Jonathan describes some of the stunts that he and his father would pull to escape police officers • For Jonathan, were this experiences entertaining? • Chase scenes can be entertaining

  9. Character development – Mr. Roberts • What do we learn about Mr. Roberts in this chapter? “Well, Jonathan…I’ve had an opportunity to examine the results of all those tests I’ve been having you complete. You have been a mystery since you came to my class. A student without a past. I must admit I really enjoy solving a good mystery.” • Mr. Roberts is dedicated to Jonathan’s learning • He is also interested in Jonathan’s past

  10. Character development – Jonathan’s father • What more do we learn about Jonathan’s father in this chapter? “He would say that he didn’t know if I had enough guys to be a good con man. I thought maybe my problem was the complete opposite. I had too many guts…” • Jonathan’s father used him to further his own scams • He would often leave him on his own as a child

  11. A comparison • This chapter compares Mr. Roberts to Jonathan’s father • Jonathan says they would be a good match for one another • What do they have in common? • How are they different?

  12. Thematic development • Identity • “I gave them a false name. Jodie Moog.” • Moral compass • Jonathan has not been brought up with an example of how he should act • He is searching for a good example, though he may not be ready to admit it
