Summary: The first half of the book starts out with these young boys not going to school on a day of the World Series between the Giants and the Dodgers. Knowing that they are broke what they do is sneak in or recklessly barrage their way into the stadium to enjoy the game. While watching the game they make a couple of friends and talk to some fans and they were Dodgers fans so they all rooted for them but since they were down they looked for a comeback. A couple of times into the book the narrator which is the main character talks about the Cold Wars going on and how everybody at the Stadium is enjoying themselves and not worrying about whats going o outside the borders at all. Then the Dodger fans get what they wanted and they came back to tie the game.
Quote:"You shout because it makes you brave or you want to announce your recklessness"(DeLillo 11)
Reaction: As I read this quote I actually took the time to think about it and it actually turned out to be true and i found it interesting because its not the most detailed description but it can get you thinking and it shows an excellent use of imagery without a big sentence explaining it.
