Garnet Coming Back Home Analysis

Throughout Garnets time back home many events have had an effect on understanding who he really is but the hockey game as an event really showed this helping of Garnet to understand who he really is. First of all, the hockey helps in Garnets understanding of himself by letting himself relax and have fun for one of the first times since coming back home. As Garnet and Jackie both played in the hockey game they obviously were both having much fun yelling things like “Oooooo-hoo-hoo-hoo!” (Wagamese 153) and “Nice shot!” (Wagamese 153), showing the help of being relaxed and having fun in finding Garnets true self. Secondly, another way the hockey game helped Garnet find his true self is the way it connected him with his estranged brother Jackie.
