I think he did it becasue it gave him a more “rich” look. It made him seem like he has money.

I do not think so becasue of the fact that he is narrating the story.

It is smart becasue it is his only option. He cannot
just go home, becasue everybody hates him.

I am pretty sure teh name is Jerry. He knows Cattie becasue he needs someone to set him up. he feels that Cattie can get the job done, so he asks her. He does come in at a very important part of teh story. Is this the climax?

He seems down about Poker and money. Also he describes his appartment like a bad place. The words the author uses makes Denn seem depreesed, and no longer motivated.

It is a good thing becasue he is maturing. he is understanding the game more, and also the cattie thing is of no importance. That is what I feel.

Chapter 11:
Denn wears this necklace because he believes it gives him luck. It was his old girlfriends. After he starts to lose he claims it is not lucky and gives it to Catie.

Chapter12:
First off this is not a prank. Pranks are funny. Seting people up is not. Even though the author did tell us that Cattie is going to do something at Kings Crossing, she has to do it yet. THe rest of the book will go on with her trying to go through with it.

Chapter 14:
No, these old people are just playing poker. They have nothing to do with Cattie.

Chapter 15:
This Jerry person is a guy that thinks of the setups that they will do. He than finds people that would be right for the job. I think he found Cattie when she was working at the Sand Dunes.

I am not sure why he wore that gold necklace, where did he get it? Did it ever say why he wore it?

Oh, good point Leah! He may be part of this plot against Denn or maybe he helps Cattie get Denn out trouble? There is so much yet to unfold in this story, and so many alternate ending to think about. But really, how are Denn and Jimbo such good friends??

I agree, Leah, I really think Cattie liked Denn and is now having second thoughts about this scheme Morty and Frisk are playing on him. Ahhh, this story is so hard to decipher.

NO, these are just harmless old people who have been playing poker their whole lives. They are very sarcastic and give Denn a bit of an edge while he plays with them. I don’t find them creepy at all.

Go Denn, Go! I think he can win this tournament! I am really pulling for him at this point in the story.

Again, this is a question I cannot answer because Pete Hautman has not given enough information for me to even begin to imagine who this man could be. I think he is the master behind this entire plan, and personally doesn’t know Denn but know just him by the way he plays.

Marge could tell like any woman can. When my best friends or someone in general doesn’t look as happy or normal as they use to you generally assume that something has happened to them for the better or worse.

The changing is for the good and I guess we will see what happens between Denn and Cattie soon.
