Mtg can reflecting pool make snow mana Following the usual memoir structure after the first introductory page that hooked me on the book both by its style and by the implied promises The Reflecting Man presents Kurtis life from his parents deaths in 1922 when at age 12 he gets to live within Canadian chocolate maker Arthur Gagnon s household and become foster brother to his 12 year old son Whitten. Reflection manipulation I have confessed my predilection for striking first when I was challenged mocked derided baited teased slighted hairy eyeballed the list of offenses was to be sure much less nuanced in my twelve year old understanding than I am presenting here My boy s brain reacted on impulse without much if any discretion Terry Corby received the boot for calling me Kurtis s s s s s like a snake might say it Dwayne and Blayne Kinson were each well and truly hoofed in their dangling participles although I had to chase Blayne half a mile before I got him If I recall correctly they were three years older than I was and made cracks about Death being a half pint I stuck a fist into Daryl Horne s nose for declaring that I was the thief who ate his sardine sandwich during school lunch break It couldn t have been me because I despised and still do the smell and taste of sardines I d rather eat a dead cat Besides once I d discovered that it was a sardine sandwich I chucked it in the bushes.
