1. Winston shares some personal feelings with Terry. Winstin says “knew that he really wanted to hear what I had to
say.” What does this show about the relationship between Terry and Winston?
2. Terry explains that he is not running away from anything. He says, “I’m running to something. I’m running to my
home in Port Coquitlam [British Columbia], running to help all those people, all those kids, who can’t run. I’m
running to raise money to find a cure for cancer.” Compare Terry’s running with Winston’s running. Why is
running the right thing for Terry to do and the wrong thing for Winston to do?

Winston mean when he says, “Whether it’s true or not doesn’t change the fact that it is wrong. You just shouldn’t
be writing about it.”

he’s doing is important! He’s going to do it,” he tells his father. How do these statements show that Winston is
changing?
Response Journal Topic:
Describe a time when you stood up for a friend and defended him or her against things that others were saying
