Double Entry Diary (D.E.D.

) for ​THE SCORPIO RACES

A Study in Multiple Perspectives in Fiction

Directions:
1. As you read, focus on how Day and June see the world from their unique perspectives.
2. Get to know these characters by their ABCs (Actually their ABCDEFs).
3. ​Use the yellow prompt cards ​to help you identify interesting portions of text that relate to character
development and to help you formulate your response.
4. For each independently read chapter, ​the number​ ​of responses (entries) required will be assigned. ​ ​Each
response​ must be at least ​3 sentences long​.
5. Remember to ​copy​ the “text evidence” and include the page on which your selected text is found.
6. Your ultimate goal is to write a response that clearly communicates the details of your thinking as a reader
as it relates to the character development of Puck and Sean.

(Gabe)
p. 25 “You can’t go” (Puck)
p. 25 “I had to press my jaw shut
to keep my teeth from vibrating”
C
Puck’s quarrel with ​Gabe is over him declaring that he’s leaving
them. ​She worries about ​Finn and she being alone, and that they will
have less money to support themselves. She then goes to her room
and curses Gabe, but all the while he maintains his stance.

Sean Ch. 4
p. 27 : “I am listening for the
sound of a splash…”
p. 33: “I spit on the fingers of my
left hand…pulling a red ribbon…I
press it over the bones...
Defining Characteristics:
Sean is a person who is ​strategic, calm, and collected​. We see this
when he catches Corr, patiently waiting in the dark, terrifying sea.
Also, when called down to rescue men on the beach, he was prepared
and executed a plan calmly to free them and settle the capaill down.
