Abe Black
One of the portions of the story so far that confused me the most was the brief introduction to Abe Black on p. 147. Abe Black randomly picked Oskar up, knowing that he was headed towards Manhattan? This makes me think, similarly to Amber, that the Blacks' know something about Oskar's plan. Also, how did they end up on a roller coaster together? I have no idea how the story transitioned from Oskar getting out of the cab in Coney Island, (where he didn't pay the driver) to meeting Abe Black. And why didn't he ask Abe Black about the key? I keep finding myself looking back at that part of the story and I'm still still super confused... Was anyone else stuck on this section or did I miss something?

I was also confused by why he didn't ask about the key to Abe Black. Maybe Oskar is starting to give up on it and just using an excuse to meet other people?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Blacks definitely know about Oskar.
I have no reason at all to think this, but for some reason I think his mom knows about his plan. She never asks where he goes, and all the people know his name and where he lives. Just a thought, and there's a good chance I'm entirely wrong, but that's my opinion.
