Ferris Wheel

"The author compares something to a Ferris wheel. Have you experienced that feeling? What does the author mean when he compares August to the top of a Ferris Wheel. How is the connection of the characters like the Ferris wheel? What things does the author describe as the hub and why? Think of a situation in your life that has a similar feeling, and draw pictures representing that on the Ferris wheel."

Yeah. right.
