WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Chapter 5 contrasts social-class, as Sanri’s fashion involvement offset by Crystal's disdain for brands. Crystal, sketching at pavilion, observes mundane aquarium events and her father’s failed attempts at motivating Ginger. Sanri’s nonchalance towards Kevin's crime contrasts Crystal’s grudge. Amid disinterest, Kevin's window-washing task brings modest amusement.
FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 5, Sanri compares Kevin's attractiveness to the spiciness of chilies on the Scoville scale, a concept unfamiliar to Crystal. While Crystal attempts to remind her of Kevin's criminal acts, Sanri shows ambivalence, upset about vandalism but grateful Ginger was spared. Sanri is depicted in her new Guess-top, highlighting her upper-class status and awareness of fashion trends, contrasting with Crystal’s mother’s disapproval of brand-name clothing. The chapter depicts Crystal and Sanri sitting on the pavilion, watching Crystal's father interact with Ginger and Crystal sketching. Crystal comments on Kevin’s washing windows, amused by the unpleasantness of the task amid a sparse crowd of disinterested tourists. A child attempts to feed their ice cream to the penguins while another yells at the shark tank, ignored by the sharks. The seals, Robbie and Roberta, are sunbathing. Bianca, who’s manning the snack shop, spends most of her time eyeing Kevin and chewing gum. Crystal's father tries to encourage a disinterested Ginger to do tricks, ultimately failing, leaving a handful of tourists disappointed and Crystal suspecting Ginger will never perform tricks again.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In hoofstuk 5, praat Sanri en Crystal oor Kevin se aantreklikheid teenoor sy vandalisme. Sanri, 'n modebewuste en vurige karakter, word bekendgestel. By die akwarium, probeer Crystal se pa vrugteloos om met Ginger te kommunikeer, terwyl Crystal bekommerd kyk en noop vir Ginger se terugkeer na normaliteit.
FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 5 bespreek Sanri, 'n vriendin van Crystal, hoe sy Kevin beoordeel op basis van die Scoville-skaal – 'n meetinstrument vir die hitte van rissies. Hoewel Crystal beskou Kevin as 'n skuldige en nie as 'n aantreklike prospek nie, gee Sanri aan dat Kevin se uiterlike enige negatiewe handelinge kan teëwerk. Sanri se vurige persoonlikheid en modieuse styl word beklemtoon – 'n kombinasie van haar Guess-toppie en ligbruin hare. Crystal skets op die pawiljoen, kyk na haar pa wat probeer om met Ginger, die dolfyn, te speel. Sy beskryf hoe mense op hulle taai, vetterige vingers teen die akwarium se vensters druk, wat met humor beeldhou. Verdere vermaak word voorsien deur 'n jong seun wat die haie aanhits om iemand te byt, terwyl 'n klein dogtertjie probeer om die pikkewyne roomys te voer. Robbie en Roberta, die robbe, lê uitgestrek in die son. Ondertussen sit Bianca agter die snoepie se toonbank en maak 'n bespotting van haar werkdeurplichte deur op kougom te kou en vir Kevin te staar. Crystal se pa maak futile pogings om met Ginger te kommunikeer deur op 'n fluitjie te blaas en 'n hoepel in die lug te hou. Ginger reageer minimaal op sy pogings en ontgoochel die selde toeriste wat opdaag. Ten slotte uit Crystal haar kommer dat Ginger moontlik nooit weer kunstjies sal doen nie, met 'n gevoel van hulpeloosheid teenoor die situasie by Aqua World.
