The book

When I saw this book I thought it was going to be about a boy that practices soccer and how he achieves greatness. I thought that the book would be boring and have little to no adventure. I was very wrong. What did you think about the book when you first saw it? Did you 'judge the book by its cover" like I did?

Keeper

Do you think that Gato will ever see the Keeper again or will he just lige his life without the Keeper? I think maybe he will see the Keeper again someday.

Do you think he deserved it ???

Do you think that Gato deserved to win the world cup even though he cheated? I think that Gato did deserve to win the world cup because he really wanted to win and he failed once before and he didnt cheat really badly like he did something horrible he just pointed to a spot in his goal wichisnt that bad. What do you think about him cheating?

Henrys Prompt

why did you think the keeper was so hard on El Gato, why do you think he was never satisfied when El Gato did somthing rigt. He always did somthing wrong in the keepers point of view. Why do you think this?

The truth to the Keeper

Chris Noda

The Keeper has been a bumpy book. I was confused on some parts if it was a flashback or rather part of the interview. Then I was surprised why he left the interview so suddenly. I then re-read then I realized that the clues add up. The Keeper in the back row of the picture might be the Keeper. It may be the keeper that El Gato sees in the forest. Then also the older teams Keeper wanted to send the first World Cup to their home country. He could help El Gato with this. After he disappeared in a plane crash He thought that one day someone might be curios enough, and good enough to be the new Keeper. Do you think that the Keeper for the 1948 national team might be the keeper that thought El Gato so well? I mean they were the best team. Respond

Do you think that the 1948 to 1950 Puerto Rican national team tried to train any other players? Why was it Gato who was “chosen” to win it and give it to them? And why was it a keeper not a striker or a midfielder?

If you were El Gato, would you quit the game you loved to save the rainforest? I personally would do the exact same as El Gato, for he had reached the soccer peak, the world cup, and now had a different calling. His loyalty was not only to soccer, but to the place were he learned the game. Without the forest he wouldn’t have been able to involve as a player and a person, in the comfort on the sanctuary’s walls. Above all, he owes it to his real mentor, the keeper, to give him and his team a place to “live”.
