1. What did Jimmy think about crows? What did he do with them

Throughout the narrative, crows are used as a symbol of luck and warning for Robinson's characters. The first introduction to the importance of crows in this story is Jimmy's belief that they are a symbol of luck for him. This comes after feeding them before his swim meet which leads to a win. Jimmy also started feeding them because Ma-ma-oo told him it was good luck: one of the crows also helps Jimmy save Lisa from drowning.
