A key line
This line really stuck out to me/spoke to me, it reminded me of so many different books I have read, but also something I have realized growing up. The narrators write, "We realized that the version of the world they rendered for us was not the world they really believed in, and that for all their care taking and bitching about crabgrass they didn't give a damn about lawns" (52). This idea/line really resonated with me.

The line is fantastic and layered, Talia. What is the idea it contains or offers? The "they" the boys are talking about is the dads, who have "rendered" a world for their children. What does that mean? What are the boys realizing here and how does it make them feel? This is a major point that you might want to use as goggles, in which case, you need to begin to understand WHY it resonates with you (and what "it" is.
