Independent Novel Study Assignment #6
A joke that relates to ‘The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon’…
… or two of them
What do you call a girl without shoes who is lost in the woods? A Red Sox fan! [Red Sox, resembling socks, and Trisha being known as a huge Red Sox fan throughout the book about her becoming missing in the forest.] What happens when you mix a wild river stream and a lost girl? A Wendigo! [Trisha drank river water in an attempt to not die of thirst, causing her to experience hallucinations. The supposed Wendigo seen nearing the end of the novel may have been another hallucination.]
