Imagine you were to go through the trash of one of the characters in the book Noggin by John Corey Whaley. Explain what you might find and why. Base the "finds" on the story and character's actions, and include at least 10 items.

If you were to go through the trash of the main character in Noggin, Travis Ray Coates, you might find the whiteboard that he used to write on when he was in the hospital and was regaining his voice. You'd also find the marker he used. Travis might have stashed some Jell-O containers in his trash, as he is able to get extra Jell-O from the nurses because he is very familiar with the way hospitals work. 
Travis might also have coins or tokens from Arnie's Arcade, which is where his dad works, in his trash. He could have thrown cheese in his trash, as he hates cheese and asks his dad not to include it in his eggs. He also might have placed the clippings from his nails in the trash, as on page 25, he cuts his new nails because he likes them shorter. Travis might have thrown Dr. Saranson's card into the trash by mistake, as the doctor hands him his card when Travis is leaving the hospital in Denver and tells him to call whenever he needs to. He also might have thrown the number of Lawrence Ramsey, the other man who has been regenerated, in the trash (by mistake). Travis also could have placed the ashes of his former body into the trash, as he drops the urn containing his ashes on the floor. Finally, he might've thrown away the old photos of himself that the news programs keep showing, as well as the stories that keep appearing about him in the news, as he is getting tired of these stories.
