As Saul sits in the hockey rink shack in Fred’s back yard after the game, he describes the atmosphere. How does Saul feel in the Shack? Give two reasons why he feels this way.

Saul feels a new sense of home and purpose in the shack. Here, Saul feels that he is a part of something special: something magical. Everybody is supportive, even the opposing team. The community gets behind both teams and although the play is passionate and rough, there is a bonding that happens between all involved. Saul feels accepted and at peace under a blanket of stars playing hockey with his people on the cold winter nights.
