7. Point of View 3 rd person. It is from Tennyson's point of view. The story would be very different from anyone else's view, because no one had the same thoughts, ideas, and decisions as Tennyson.

8. Symbolism The bull was in my thought is a symbol of Brewster's pride. It showed Tennyson that when the bull died,so did the bruiser on the inside. It was important because it made Tennyson realize what he had done.

9. Recommendation I think anyone should read this book. Because it is a very precise story. It doesn’t go to fast or to slow. It was at the right pace for me and it might be for anyone who wants to read it. It also teaches two lessons. Not to judge a book by its cover and to always look out for family.
