A. Borden, Gail, 1801 74, American dairyman, surveyor, and inventor, b. Norwich, N.Y. He was for several years a deputy surveyor in Mississippi; afterward he joined the colony of Stephen F. Austin in Texas. There, besides farming, stock-raising, and newspaper activities, he superintended the surveying of lands for Austin. He laid out the city of Galveston, where he became collector of customs. After returning (1851) to New York, he worked on a process of evaporating milk, which he patented in 1856.

What objects that could be found around the house relate to this book, called Shattering Glass, I'll explainit?
Q. Shattering Glass by Gail Giles. The books about this group of popular guys from Texas making this class nerd popular, Simon gets too much of an ego boost, and they end up killing Coop, with a baseball bat, and Simon lives. They go to jail. Coops one of the popular guys. And while they help reinvent Simon, him and another popular boy find a secret about Rob [popular] that he was raped by his father and his fathers now in jail. I need 4 objects. I was thinking one object would be a role of tape, because of Robs secrets. Help? Thanks!

A. maybe something that's stained, like clothing or something, to represent loss of innocence, or something white that you have b/c that's synonmyous w/ innocence. books can represent nerds. lillies traditionally represent death, if you've got some of those, or some dreid leaves or flowers maybe, or a burned out ligth bulb. a paper bag could represent how all these characters seem to wear masks to hide their true selves/how simon is "reinvented". a key/lock could represent jail, or a rope. a flashlight thats off could represent how these boys keep each other in the dark from their secrets/keep everyone else out. hope that helps, i'v never read this book.
