We finished reading 'The Outsiders,' and Cam stated it was "the best book I ever read!" He described it as entertaining - found it riveting and suspenseful, commenting that there was not a lot of empty fillers in it that other books contain. Cam asked questions and made predictions as we read the last chapter in the book. His comments indicated he understood the author's intent in coming full circle at the end. I interviewed Cam, impromptu, and suggested some essay topics he should consider to fulfill a writing assignment. Cam was amenable to the options suggested. It was a rewarding and productive class and read in which Cam's interest remained engaged and piqued. He is looking forward to watching the movie version next week.
