I read Zach Gee's blog post about Scat. I too have read the book and I agree with his analysis of the book. He talks a lot about if justice is served and why he feels it isn't in some cases and is in others. The story is about and illegal drilling operation. The company lights a fire and the main character Duane is blamed.
Zach talk about how Duane is blamed because of the fact that he committed arson before. He burned a billboard that was advertising the plane company that his mom to when she left him. Zach feels that in this case justice was served, and this I disagree with. Yes burning a billboard isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's still wrong. The company did nothing, and he shouldn't take his anger at his mom out on it.
Another point he makes is how justice is served for the cub and his mom. They are separated, because of the drilling company. Duane works with his teacher to help reunite them. In this case, I feel justice was served. The drilling company has done a lot of horrible things. One of them was splitting up the mom and cub. When Duane reunites them, justice is served because a bad deed was rectified even if it wasn't rectified by the people who caused it.
I think overall Zach and I have very similar opinions about the book, and where justice was served. I think he made a lot of very good points even if I don't agree with all of them.
