Whirligig by Paul Fleischman

In Paul Fleischman's novel "Whirligig", Brent Bishop continues his journey of life. After the party, Brent got drunk, humiliated and began to go home, but on his way she decided to commit suicide by accidental killing of an 18 - year - old girl Lea Zamora. Lee's family was destroyed, but Mrs. Zamora asked Brent to ask for help alone. And if she is still alive, she will spin for the glory of her daughter. Through Brent's trip, the result he encounters will certainly change his own life recognition and himself.

In Paul Fleischman's Whirligig, Brent went to the four corners of the United States and sparked a whirlwind based on his confession mission. Each Whirligig has a unique appearance that meets the needs (observer?) In different ways. The first change was placed in a state park near the Puget Sound. As Brent's first spin, he made it a bit laborious. Originally it was supposed to be an angel playing a full-size orchestra harp, but he accidentally broke its wings when he lifted it. After that, it became an ordinary person, seemed to play the harp when the wind was blowing. An important observer of this change is fifth grade Tony who wants to play baseball but is obliged to play the violin. In the summer, when he camped with his family, his mother found it and used it to strengthen the practice equipment. "I always remember the harp player Anthony," she says.

Mistakes can have serious consequences for the people who committed it, but the effect is not necessarily bad. In Paul Fleischman's book "Whirligig", a teenage boy named Brent was just born in town, he is facing some major problems with his colleagues. After being pushed in, treated as a pawn, and completely rejected, Brent tried to kill himself by releasing his hand from the wheel of the car he was driving. Although Brent's attempt did not go well, his behavior caught a tragic end - unfortunately a young, kind and beautiful girl who hit a car with Brent. The car accident led to the death of Lee and the beginning of Brent's magical redemption trip. Brent's mission is to travel around the four corners of the country to build and show rotation, and to preserve Lee's spiritual energy. Through Brent's journey, Paul Flechman used Brent interchangeees to draw ideas of friendship regardless of personality, race, and age.
