This week I finished the chocolate war. Here is the picture I drew of the kid getting beat up at the end. The drawing was a bit off but that's kind of the best thing I can do on paint.

Discussion Director - Savannah
My group and I had all decided to read 11 chapters a week, and we should be done with 22 chapters in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian.
I have chosen to be the discussion director, and I have to write a list of questions that our group will discuss about from the parts that we read. Here are the questions:
#1: How did you feel when Junior stood up to the teacher about petrified wood?
Savannah : I thought it was very brave of Junior to do that because he had just started attending that school, and he had to deal with strange and unfamiliar teachers, classes, and other students.
#2: How would you explain Gordy as a friend?
Savannah : In my opinion, I think Gordy is a smart and cool guy, but he is a little bit strange. He thinks that the most small and simple things are big and fascinating.
#3: What do you think about Junior sister Mary? Is she the type of sister that you would want to have?
Savannah: I think that Mary is a very interesting and outgoing woman. She seems like a person who goes with the flow, and lets the wind guide her. I don't really get why Mary is so obsessed with romance books and riding into the sunset with her new husband. I wouldn't want to have a sister like Mary because I like the sister I have, and I wouldn't want her to change.
#4: How do you feel about Junior having a girlfriend that is way out of his league?
Savannah: I think that Penelope is a little bit ou of Junior league, but they make a cute couple in a weird, awkward sort of way.
#5: When you read the back of this book, did it seem interesting? If not, did you change your mind in how you feel about it when you started reading?
Savannah: I am in love with this book, there are so many fun and funny events in it. It talks about friendship, poverty, wealthy, and even family. It is no doubt interesting, and there isn't a moment in this book that gets boring or dull.

Summarizer - Kaan
Hi,
This week, I read the chocolate war by Robert Cormier. In this book, Jerry Renault is wondering what the postero n his locker means, "Do i dare disturbing the universe?". They refuse to sell chocolates in the Trinity school fund raiser which is not a smart thing to do. But jerry challenged a a secret school caleld Vigils which eventually turns into war.
