Important Scenes in Carl Hiaasen's Hoot
When reading Hoot, I simply picked Roy as my favorite character. He’s the main character, and he’s probably the easiest to understand. The entire book basically revolves around him. After I finished reading this book I read through the setting questions. Question F had the most points, and seemed extremely simple to do. Of course, the logical choice was “Important Questions”, and that’s what I chose.
One of the most significant scenes was the scuffle on the bus. It was a Friday morning and once again, Roy saw the strange bare-footed boy running. Curiosity seemed to get the best of Roy. When the bus stopped, Roy tried to run out of the bus so he could follow the bizarre boy. Unfortunately, Dana, the school bully had other plans. Dana grabbed Roy by his neck and was choking Roy. Struggling for air, Roy knew that boy was going to be gone soon. Quickly, he gathered enough energy to put his hand in a fist. He didn’t know where on Dana his uppercut would land, but anywhere was good enough. He heard a gargled yelp, and he stormed off the bus, to chase the running boy.
This was scene important because during the running boy chase, he saw that the peculiar boy hid in some woods near a golf course. Seeing where the boy resided made Roy curious, again. He wanted to know more about the running boy. “Where was he from? Where was his family? Were they looking for him?” things like that. This . . . read more.
