Answer:

Wash’s school reminds me of the detention center in the book Holes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we're reading a text, we use our prior knowledge and experience to help us understand what we're reading. We automatically start making connections between the new material and what we already know.

There are three types of connections:

  • Text-to-self - connections between the text and the reader's own experiences;
  • Text-to-text - connections between the text and other texts the reader has read before;
  • Text-to-world - connections between the text and the reader's knowledge about what is going on around the world (e.g. what we see on television or read in a newspaper).

The sentence that is an example of a text-to-text connection is the third one, as the student is a making connection between We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March and a book they've read before.
