At the very end of our reading for today, "Walking home, I wondered who the real winner was."
As you reflect on this section of the book, who do you think is the "real winner?" What would that mean?
What do you think is in BT's head? How about Mi-Su's? What should Will do or think at this point?
Please use evidence from the text to support your thinking.
