Optimistic Loving Innocent Valuable Involved Amiable I wrote an acrostic poem about Sister Olivia as she has an important role in the story by helping Gardo visit Gabriel Olondriz. She is optimistic because she believes things will work, even though it's realistically not likely. She is loving to Jun Jun/Rat and shows it to him by giving him food and money. She is innocent by believing that Gabriel Olondriz is Gardos grandfather. She is valuable because she has wealthy parents and authority to go places. She came to Behala to relax but got involved in a water sanitation project and a volunteer teacher. She is amiable because she is naturally kind a and generous

Solo Questions 1. How did Rat receive his nickname and how do you know this? 2. What year was Gabriel Olondriz serving in prison? 3. How do you think the police found out that Raphael had the bag? 4. Why does Father Julliard want the boys to come to school so much? 5. Why do you think the police want the bag? Answers 1. Rat received his nickname because he lives under a broken down conveyor belt and his home is filled with rats. 2. He was serving his 23rd year in prison as Raphael found out when he researched on the computer. 3. The only clue the police had was his auntie calling out "Raphael found something" 4. Father Julliard wants to help the boys the best that he can, by giving them an education. 5. They want the bag because they think it contains clues to where Jose hid the money.

Sister Olivia Trash Andy Mulligan Sister Olivia is a soft hearted generous woman that always puts the needs of other people before her own. She has a particular fondness for rat and even wanted to adopt him. She was the lady that was tricked into taking Gardo to visit Gabriel Olondriz even though she had to pay 10,000 pesos to do so. She always thinks the best of people and doesn’t believe that they would fool her. “Behala had hit me hard, and i couldn’t get it out of my mind” “ I fell in love with the eyes looking at me, and the smiles” “Jun would not call me Olivia, it was always “sister”, and then it became “mother” Olivia plays an important role in the story and is a volunteer teacher in the Mission school. She is a very important character as without her Gardo, Rat and Raphael would have never visited the prison and deciphered the code. Olivia changes throughout the story by becoming wiser and less innocent. She becomes more inclined to disbelieve people and...

Predictor I think that they will go and visit the man in prison who the letter is addressed to. Hopefully, he will tell them what the code is and help them to locate the money that Jose stole. I think the man will be Jose's partner in crime because the address is a prison. I predict the police will start searching people in Behalas homes looking for the bag but they won't find it in Rat's home.

1. What was the name on the id card that Raphael found? 2. Why did Raphael feel it wasn't wise to tell the police about the wallet he found. 3. What was the number on the key? 4.  Would you have given the wallet to the police if you were in Raphael's situation and what are your reasons for doing that? 5. Compare and Contrast the differences between how the characters in the book live and how you live.

Connector Olivia takes Gardo into a clothing shop as shown in this photo from the movie of 'Trash' This is to get him looking tidy so they can make a trip to colva prison. In the prison they walk through aisles and aisles of animal cage like cells filled with young boys and men. After long waits and long hallways they get to an empty room with a few chairs and a table. That is where they get to meet Gabriel Olondriz. He is week and dying but still willing to talk to his visitors; Gardo and Olivia.

With them being kept in hot smelly animal cage like cells. I can connect with Olivia and Gardo's feeling of the sight of the scary prison cells as I have been into a prison before.
