Week 4 11.29.10 - 12.3.10

We've been looking and studying how we relate to our characters and the real world around us. Now it's time to put yourself into your character's shoes. Thinking about the main character of your book, consider what you would do in their situation.  1. What would your reactions be? 2. How would you handle the situation? 3. What would you do differently? Be sure to use complete sentences and EVIDENCE to support your thinking.


 I am reading  Bad Boy by Walter Dean Myers.The main character is Walter and he is  having problems in his science class,and his math class. also he keep having problems with a guy call Manuel bonilla. Walter said that the only class he likes is his literacy class because he loves to read.


In his math class his teacher kick him out of the class because he was fighting with Manuel.His math  teacher send him to the office.

         "School was becoming a disaster.Simple formulas in chemistry eluded me. Math problems
          that I should have handled easily became mysteries."pg142

My reaction I think would be different than Walter's because I would choice to talk to Manuel because I wouldn't want to get in trouble.I wouldn't fight with him in the classi think walter was very brusque.But after school I would went up to him and fight.
