This resource explores the interactions of Jess with his family, particularly focusing on his struggle with his artistic identity amidst familial pressures. It aims for students to map out three key interactions from the first three chapters of the narrative where Jess hides his sketchbook. The learning goal emphasizes the connection between Jess’s artistic expression and his feelings of suppression and internal conflict. The resource also delves into the concept of resilience, highlighting how Jess's secret drawings serve as an emotional refuge, allowing him to maintain his artistic identity despite challenges at home. Activities encourage reflection on how art serves as a medium for Jess’s true feelings and stimulate discussion on potential changes in family dynamics if he were to share his art openly.
