Eggs By : Jerry Spinelli

The book I'm reading is called Eggs by Jerry Spinelli and its about a boy named David and his life. David first started out as any normal kid, young, full of life and just looking for fun. Until one day the unexpected happen, his mother passed away. She fell down the stairs because she slipped on a wet floor and hit her head so hard so she passed away. When David's mother passed he was too young so he didn't really understand, he had no brothers or sisters and no father. So, David had to move in with his grandma. She tries to get him to talk to people and make friends but David says it himself, he doesn't want friends. In my opinion I don't see the problem with having at least some friends but David just doesn't want any. in the book "Eggs by Jerry Spinelli" it stays "Make friends. Make friends. Same old garbage. "I don't want to make friends." "Everybody needs friends." "Not me." When I read this I could clearly tell that David isn't much of a social person. I can clearly see that he keeps to himself because he doesn't want friends and he doesn't try to make any effort into making friends either. In the story it's easter so its time for adults to hide the eggs and make the kids find them. David went to this park where all the kids go for easter and find all the eggs. When he went there was a man that blew a whistle and once he did a bunch of kids went crazy and ran down the hill to go get the eggs. By the time David got to the bottom all the eggs were gone, but he did spot one egg, it was yellow and buried in leaves. When he picked up the egg something magical happened there was a body buried under the leaves. I have to keep reading in order to find out if its just David who see's his mom or if there is actually a body under the leaves.

In the book eggs I infer that David is going to end up seeing his mom. In the book "Eggs" it states "The mouth did not move. "Your dead, aren't you? The beautiful face was as still as the tree. He was not afraid." I can clearly infer here that David might see his mother in the leaves. In the book it also explains how David lost his mother at a young age and how he explains that the women doesn't scare him and how he left her in the leaves. The next day he went back and the body was gone. To me this showed proof that the body never really existed because since David went back the next day and nothing was there. From this information I feel like I can infer that David really never saw anything in the leaves I think he just saw his mother. The reason that I think it was his mother is because no one else has passed away in the book that the author has mentioned and it also explained that David doesn't have any friends. From that I can clearly see that David might just be missing his mother so maybe he illuminates that he sees her, when really, he doesn't. I'm going to keep reading in order to see what exactly David saw in the leaves.
