by Scott Carrier
1. Why does the author refer to himself as the "Monster Man"?
2. What is the significance of having "the offense respect and fear us" at the moment of the play?
3. Why is it that the defense team is always spacing out? Why is it important?
4. What is the importance of bringing up Bruce Seymour?
5. What is the meaning of the haiku "The wing brings dry leaves, enough to build a fire"? How does it relate to the the game?
6. Why does the captain of the defense team order his players to "dance around, stand on your head or do whatever you want"?
7. Why did the defense stand around and not follow their captain's orders?
8. Explain why the coach intervened when the captain recited the haiku. What motives did he have for doing so, if he hadn't coached them before?
9. Why was it important for the captain to follow through with his idea?
10. Why was he captain of the defense team and not the offense?
