Chapter 10 “Conversation in the Dark: Brilliant Eskimo thoughts”

This week, I read chapter 10 “Conversation in the Dark: Brilliant Eskimo thoughts” of Criss Cross, which Lynne Rae Perkins wrote. Chapter 10 starts from the scene, in which Hector practice singing the song and playing the guitar with his band member. In half way, Debbie and her friends visit to see their scene of practice. Everyone praises Hector’s skill as a singer. And the day of his concert comes at the end of this chapter. 

In this chapter, the form of the format becomes stage direction looks like a novel of William Shakespeare. Stage direction is the form used to read in the practice of the play. In addition, each initial of the conversation of Hector’s band member becomes question mark. 
“?: It does help to wear nice clothes and comb your hair, though. ” 
“?: Then you can be a neat ugly person.”
This conversation is at the end of this chapter. From letter mart, all conversation becomes the same with upper conversation. Their conversation reminds me of culture week of G-10. Then all Japanese of G-10 has performance of Japanese traditional dance, and we waited the time of our turn behind big curtain on the stage. This experience made me excite as I read their conversation. Furthermore, this chapter has only the conversation. I experienced to read similar novel in English, so I did not feel anguish.

I predicted his concert starts from this chapter when I read the chapter 9. It mistake, his concert will start from next chapter. I predict that Hector’s singing will attract a couple of people.
