Text to Self- I can connect with Brady because in the book he has to choose between protecting his friends, or telling the truth for the best of himself and other. My situation was not as bad at this, but once my friends and I had gone somewhere where we shouldn't have. I kept this a secret from my parents, but after a couple of days, I told them the truth because I couldn't handle the guilt inside of me anymore. I understand how Brady feels because I have gone through a similar situation and I believe it was right for him to tel the truth.
Text to Text- In Nothing But The Truth written by Avi, there was a situation about Philip, and instantly there was a news article about him that lied and said extra things that weren't true. In Red Kayak, the article about Brady and Ben also included lies. This is a connection because it shows us that newspapers like to lie and exaggerate just to get more attention, which isn't right.
Text to World- In Paris and other parts of the world, ISIS had killed many people. I can connect this with the book because Digger and JT have also resulted in murdering others. This shows me that there isnot only a connection between the killings, but also the families' reactions. Both families in Paris and Maryland are similar because they feel sadness and depression from the murder.
