Dear Danny,
What was going through your mind when you and Uno struck so many people? Where you excited or proud? Your talent is incredible and you are a great picture yet you don't tell your father about this part of your life. On page 156 it says, "Several hustles go the exact same way. Danny blows away whoever he is facing with almost exclusively fastballs. And every pitch hits Uno's glove wherever he sets it. His control problem has basically gone out the window. The trick, Danny's found, is clearing his mind. Just like Uno said. Getting out of the way. Letting his talent do the work" (Pena). This must feel so great that you have finally figured out not to get nervous and mess up.
How did you feel during the lunch with Uno and his Dad? When Uno and his Dad were talking about the break in what were your opinions. I find that Uno has a strong relationship with his Dad. They talk and see each other once a month. They go out to eat and have a good time. They always get to catch with each other's lives. Uno will also get to live with his Dad. Do you ever miss that with your Dad? Senior looks at you and you look away. On page 157 it is written, "Senior continues to staring, and Danny feels like something's expected of him. He shakes his head and loos down at his plate" (Pena). What is your opinion of Senior.
During the lunch you think about your hustles. Congrats on winning 30 dollars and you saw the scout again. What do you think of the scout and that he is watching you? Uno and you discussed how you need a plan so you don't strike someone out as easily. You scared and embarrassed your opponent so much that he wouldn't play another round. On page 158 it says, "The only problem, Uno explained, was that Danny was making things look to easy" (Pena). This must be exciting to be able to just strike someone out like it was nothing. You must be so happy, but what is your new game plan?
How did you feel when Senior read your mind? Were you confused or shocked? I have never had a physic reading before but I think I would be confused and a little creepy. You refer to Senior as crazy. But this is before he reads your mind. On page 163 you thought "How can this older black man from Oxnard, a person he doesn't even know, his best friends dad, how can he be the first person he's ever met who understands Danny's heart is broken" (Pena). Were you understand Senior now or do you still believe he is crazy?
You and Uno got into a fight with Carmelo. I found this very suspenseful and wasn't sure if you or Uno would get hurt. That was a lot of money you guys put on the line, and I didn't want you to lose it; that would be so sad. You were lucky that the scout was there to help you. What made you ignore Uno's orders to run? I thought it was very brave of you to stay and fight, instead of running away. What was going through your mind through this incident?
The last thing I wanted to talk to you about was you and Liberty! When you two were on the porch together it was so cute how you tried to talk, but didn't understand each other. I really want you guys to be able to communicate! I know you are head over heels for her, and it would be fantastic if you got together. I thought it was every romantic when you sat there looking outside on the steps. It would be great if you two could talk. On page 188 it is written, "Liberty lets her head fall against Danny's shoulder" (Pena). I loved the two lollipops and how you considered her favorite flavor. It was very sweet. You really need to learn Spanish or something so you can be together. I can't wait to see if your relationship develops!
Sincerely,
Lauren Abbott
P.S. To say you are pretty in Spanish is Tu ere bonita!
