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.
