Bell Work Free-write for ten minutes on how this story is similar to a coming of age story in your own life. Ex: Have you ever done something life-threatening to fit in with a group of friends? Have you ever tried a task that took a lot of preparation and courage?

Class Discussion (15 minutes) Split into pairs and discuss your free write with a partner. Come back to the class and share ideas of how this text related to your personal lives. As a class brainstorm how the setting and plot make this a coming of age story for Jerry.
