From Jack

I can't create a new post so I guess I'll make one here. First off, I agree with Jessica and AJ. I was convinced that the narrators were the same age as the girls, but as AJ said, they may be just a couple of years older than Cecilia. Also, the idea that they all have their own vivid memories relates back to the topic we were talking about in class today. Maybe each of the boys have their own assumptions, or what they call "vivid memories" and believe is real. As readers, we are now struggling with the main question: What is the truth?
Now, since I can't create a new post, I'll write here about what I found interesting in the reading tonight. I observed (and found interesting) that the boys were so infatuated with Trip. Maybe, they're obsessed because he's a womanizer or because they want to figure out his connection with Lux. What do you guys think? Does Trip possess truthful knowledge?
Second, I noticed the narrator using words like: "reliable" and sentences like: "we imagined" when talking about what they "knew" about Trip. Do you guys think the boys are creating a whole new story, full of hypotheses? Is any information here valuable?
