Connector

**As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. Remember the types of connections are text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world. You must label the type of connection, give the example you found in the book along with the page number, and state how you made the connection. M** ** ake at least //two (2)// connections from the book. ** I can make a text to text connection between Bud Not Buddy and my book Scorpions. In the book Bud Not Buddy Bud goes to a place in Michigan and finds hoovervilles and most of the people where he is are poor. In the book Scorpion Jamal and his mother are very poor. Another connection i can make is text to self and when they want to bail out someone named Randy and they dont have the money to bail him out. If someone Iknew were in jail i prbly wouldnt have the money to bail them out either Beacause the bail money can cost alot.
