We started today with some writing about childhood friends - people we knew back when we were 3-6 years old. This can include neighbors, people you knew from different programs, cousins you saw only at special events, or just about anyone of a similar age as you at the time. After that you wrote about a specific story / experience you shared. Then I asked you to identify particular lessons / thoughts you take away from those early experiences.
For the weekend of reading, I recommend you look back at pages 70-75 for background information about Velutha.
