its about the book I’m reading iggy

Principal Olmos says, We can all make something of ourselves, no matter what our situation. We can do something that contributes to the world, live a life that has meaning. Do you believe that?

Iggy replies in his mind, Ive never thought about meaningnot even oncebut I nod because, okay, whatever (Going 6).

Explain what Principal Olmos cannot see or understand regarding Iggys life and situation.

While Iggy is walking to the party with Mo on page 35, he finds a newspaper clipping: HERO SAVES CHILD FROM CRACK DEALER.

How does this relate to the conversation he has with Principal Olmos?

On pages 35-36 he imagines that he is the hero who saves someone and he imagines how the kids and Mrs. Brando would react at school when they hear the news.

How does this passage relate to his plans for himself on page 17?

What does this passage reveal about who he wants to be as a person?
