1. What is going on in your book right now? Currently in my book Junior and Rowdy (Junior being the narrator) are just coming back from the Spokane Powwow were basically you watch people dance, sing, drink a lot, and fight. Junior Was afraid to go because he thought someone was going to beat him up because he is a nerd. But Rowdy talked him into going. When they got home Junior started talking about how Him and Rowdy are closer then Junior and his parents. Then Junior started talking about how he likes school especially Geometry.



2. How do you feel so far about the book in detail. Please do not Say that you liked it or didn't like it- you need to add more detail to your comments to support your point. I like the book a lot. I think it is very funny especially Junior he is the funniest. But I also think the book is sad because Juniors family is very poor and he has a really sad disability and it was said when his dog got shot because it was old.

3. What is the theme in the book that you have noticed so far? Were do you notice this theme. I think a theme in this book is self confidence. I see it when Junior makes funny comic pictures for Rowdy to make him laugh, and when Rowdy laughs he gets self confidence. I don't understand why kids tease would tease Junior, he seems really funny and nice.

4. Who is your favorite? What makes them so special? Again, please use detail. My favorite character is Rowdy. I like Rowdy because he is super cool especially when he cuts of those peoples hair at the Powwow. I also like him because he is tough and isn't afraid to through a punch; or afraid of anyone for that matter!

5. Who is your least favorite character? What makes them your least favorite? My least favorite Character is anyone that teases Junior. There my least favorite characters because it is not right to tease people that can't help with reason they are being teased.

6. A prediction about what will happen next. i'm not really sure what is going to happen next but if i had to guess i would say that Junior will start talking about some person that in his life like another teacher or bully or something like that.
