Chapter 6 Summary: “Wednesday”

Sunny does not ask Darryl if he is okay after hearing him crying in the night. Sunny writes that hearing Darryl cry is normal; in fact, Darryl cries often on birthdays, anniversaries, every time they finish a puzzle. Sunny also writes that he learned a long time ago not to ask Darryl if he is okay, because he did once, and Darryl yelled at him.

Aurelia takes Sunny to see the film Baraka, a non-narrative documentary film that depicts wordless scenes of nature and human activity. The film mesmerizes Sunny, and he describes it as “Everything everywhere” (82). At the end, Aurelia asks Sunny what he thought about the film Sunny admits that he does not know. Aurelia tells him that she thinks it's about the fact that “everything is moving. Everything. Even the things that are not are, because the world is moving [...] everything is changing constantly [...] and that somehow everything is still connected” (84). Sunny likes this explanation and tries to explain the film to Patty at track practice later.

Another runner, Aaron, interrupts Sunny to say that he should not be talking because he is not a runner anymore, but again Sunny’s friends stick up for him.
