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!!

Yea, i think the book is really interested because of how Addie wants to make a different party. The story is really funny, and kind of a little wierd. I liked the end of chapter 12 where they talk about race and color. i think it was typical, i do it all the time, mostly in a negative way just to play around.
I agree with you. Addie writing everything they say at the Forum. Those people are misfits. Why would you write everything they say? I also think Addie is going alittle to far with the pledge thingy. Making a new party and all that. At least it keeps me interesting. Such a good book. Have a gloriuos day.
The book IS interesting. I agree that Addie and Tonni are very good people because they stand up for what they believe in and what they belive in is right. As for the "unpopular" people I also feel sad for them but I can't imagine books without them. Like every book I love is about them.
Umm i see where you are getting from. BUT while i was reading this part i felt umm i guess you can say opposite of what you were feeling.For instance, Um, you said that you dont like that Addie takes note of everything but i disagree, i happen to like that about her. The fact that she notices a lot of things is pretty cool. I love her personality as you do,but, sometimes it seems that she OVER does somethings, like yea she stands up for what she believed in but, idk, i guess im not use to "seeing" people who can stand up for things like that. But um o0o0O! o0oo! o0o0o0o!!! I disagree with you in the last part too. You said that you feel bad for them, but unlike you i dont. I think they are better off that way. Like they dont have to do anything to impress anyone. They dont have to worry about how they look. Basically, they are the only ones who can possibly be themselves. I think i sort of envy them. Im not saying that im populaur either but, im not a "loser"-i think, but i myself sometimes feel that i have to impress people, like i can't really be who i truly am because maybe everyone else wont understand...Not that they do now. So any ways, you make it seem like they are alone. They arent, together they form a group that is stronger than any other, why? Because they are REAL. They dont sit around trying to impress each other.
Dude you read ahead! Ugh, loser. Jk..uh, yeah I agree with you I'm glad Tonni stood up for what she believes in, not man people have the guts to do that. The thing I'm not quite understanding here is what do you mean by Addie takes note of everyrhing? Oh and I totally get what you mean when you say that without the dweebs popular kids wouldn't even exist. I've never thought of it that way, great view though. By the way, why does it have to be that it's a triangle?
Maybe so. But you're right on the last part, and i had thought about it before. I realized that without the dweebs, the losers, well all these different social groups, there would be nothing seperating the "cool kids" and the "losers" Its sort of like a food chain. They are who they are because of the people underneath them. so Ha, dont act so smart. Well anyways, go figure this book actually grabbed my attention.
