The Streaker by Walter Dean Myers

In The Streak, a young boy named Jamie Farrell. This a boy had bad luck. First, Jamie lost his baskeball game and later dropped his soda. Glass spilled everywhere!! Later after that, he dropped a slide at biology and it broke. His teacher was mad at him. After that, he accidentally threw a milk carton at the school's scariest person. Jamie freaked and ran away. He couldn't pay for his food and hit his ankle.It was a really bad time for him. Then his friend, told him that he could be a streaker. That is when the tables turn and you have good luck. And it worked!! He had 6 or 7 good luck chances. With those chances, he fixed everything he messed up, and was asked out by his crush, Cecilia, a very hot girl from DR.

I really liked the story. I liked it because it was pretty funny. It was about a normal teenager dealing with ordinary average problems. He had some bad luck but it sooner came back around. I was happy when everything came back to its place. I thought if he didn't do some of those things it wouldn't have fallen back to its place. Like for example, if Jamie didn't call Cecilia's mother, she wouldn't even thought about asking her out!!!!!

The Lesson of this story is, "What Comes Around, Goes Around." I think that this quote best fits this story. That's what a streaker is!! Froggie said that a streaker is when a person has bad luck and then good luck. This quote explains that everything happens for a reason.

The Misfits Chapters 14-21 (Make Up for the Giver)

This Book has been getting very interesting. It is very funny and I couldn't stop reading the book. I've read this for an hour and am planning to finish it.

Anyway, Bobby makes up a new idea/party for the election. He calls is "The No-Name Party." This party would ban all the name-calling. A kid, named Darryl, was called a Dweeb and was made fun of. Everyone started making fun of him, including Kevin. That's how Bobby was inspired and created this new party.

I personally think that name calling isn't good, especially when you're not kidding. It wouldn't be cruel when you say it to your friends, such as when they called themselves names in Joe's house. It was funny.

After that, they created all of these posters and posted then when they made up excuses to go to the bathroom and such. When the bell rang, everyone went out and saw all these posters. Some laughed but the majority made connections with them, because they were probably called these names.

The gang of 5 are starting to inspire me. I can't stop thinking if it would happen in real life because I haven't been in this position nor seen a person in that situation either.

There has been some romance between Addie and Collin. They have started to talk a lot and Collin admires her ideas and bravery. She asked Skeezer to put some notes in his locker so Collin could read them. One of them said, "Meet me at the school flagpole." She sort of waited. When she saw Collin at the flagpole, she started walking with him and had a nice conversation.

Mr. Kellerman's mother died. He's been grumpy for a very long time. At the end of one day, they walked to their houses together. He opened up, his whole life story. It seems that Kellerman actually was a kid before. He had an overprotective mother and was bullied and called names in high school. Bobby really felt bad for him so he listened and responded to him.

It is really nice that Bobby can relate to Kellerman and talked about something that is serious- their loved ones dying. I felt that now Kellerman was alone. He had no family, his wife left him... What is he going to do next? How is he going to survive, he has no friends- other than Bobby. I really feel bad for Kellerman. I hope he finds love again.

The Misfits Chapters 7-12

In this part of the book, the story got very interesting. Addie wants to start another party- other than the Democrats & the Republicans. She wanted to start a party called the "Freedom Party." It was for minorities who could not speak for themselves. Addie and "her gang of 5" tried to get the popular kids on their sides, including a colored funny man, DuShawn Carter. 2 girls and himself are the only colored people in the seventh grade. Apparently Addie and Bobby went up to him and persuaded him into running for president on the Freedom Party. He said okay. But one of his friends thought that Addie chose him just because he is black and use him as a symbol. She was ready to fight.

I really love what DuShawn's friend did. She stood up for her color, she stood up for what she has believed in. I really love that because that is what I call an American. She stood up for everything she believes in.She takes her pride.On the other hand I also Addie, she stands up for what she believes in, but she also takes note of everything, I do not like people who do that.

Anyway, Addie fortunately received permission to create another party, she has done her part of the job whilst Bobby had to ask Colin, another popular kid- yet normal to join the Freedom Party. Unfortunately, he believes in Democrats.

I really love this book. Although its funny, it talks about the real normal lives of minorities, also known as, nerds or dweebs. It also shows how they survive from the popular kids and the cool kids. I feel bad for them because (Not saying that I'm popular or whatever) they do not have anything to survive on but just on themselves. They are the bottom part of the triangle. They support the higher levels of social class, but they are not appreciated. That is why I feel bad for them. I love this book!!

The Misfits by James Howe

sThis book is a really funny novel. It has a very funny sense of humor. This book shows the life of "nerd" or "weirdos." It shows how they survive through the terrible life of being in middle school. Bobby, Addie, Skeezie and Jodan are best friends.

This book starts out when Bobby, the main character, works in an untouched clothing department. He is only twelve years old and helps his father out with their financial problems. He goes to school and finds all his friends. Bobby speaks of all the different names people call him, including "Fluff."

On one day, in math class, the whole class had to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Addie refused because she doesn't want to be controlled. and she thinks that the dictionary is sexist. I really enjoyed that part because when the teacher asked her why she wasn't standing up, she explained why and asked the whole class what does pledge mean. Some kid said, "Furniture Polish!!!!" It was very funny!!
I would've never thought of that! Would you?!?!

Another part that I've enjoyed is when the children go to their lockers, and find a word on one of their lockers. It was misspelled. The weirdest part about that was Bobby (I think) didn't give a good comeback. He just called them numbskulls.

Finally, one of the most funniest, but racist, things that Addie has ever said was, "Have you ever seen whats happening in the unfair metropolis of New York? You cannot be a black man and walk down the streets of that city without the word 'guilty' stamped on your forehead!!!

I really love this book. It is funny, interesting and awesome!

Pride and Prejudice Chapters

Throughout these chapters, Jane was invited to Mr. Bingley's mansion, and of course, she accepts. Jane was very excited to go there. She was sent by horse because it was going to rain, and what would be the point if she was going to stay overnight because it rained?! Wow, Jane is really clever because she would take an advantage on the rain and would be able to stay in the mansion the whole night.

Unfortunately, Jane was soaking wet when she got there and caught a cold. The plan went a little too well. The minute Elizabeth heard the news, she immediately ran over to the Mr. Bingley's mansion and came there with wet shoes. So Elizabeth had to stay overnight at the mansion too. They were both happy.

Unfortunately Mr.Bingley's sisters started bothering them and the Bennets were a little mad. On the bright side, Mr. Bingley tried to defend them, along with Mr. Darcy.

Wow, I can see that Mr. Bingley and Jane really love each other and Elizabeth stays away from it. I hope that they get married and probably be in love forever. I've also read that Mr. Darcy has "a thing" for Elizabeth. He tried dancing with her and Elizabeth admitted that she'll dance with Darcy. He is too proud of himself. I wouldn't have contact with a conceited person. I don't really like those types of people. Anyway, this book is really interesting. I've been having a bit problems understanding its text, but I still understand what is going on in the story.
