In the second paragraph, Castle's father says, "Sunflowers are all up in me, kid," (p.5). But Castle says that he has something else inside him--"Like, for me, the best way to describe it is, I got a lot of scream inside," (p. 34).
In the short answer space below, describe the difference between Castle's "scream" and his father's "sunflowers." What do both these things symbolize about what is going on inside the characters? Why do you think author Jason Reynolds uses them as symbols?
