Five Years Past....

Five years past....

It's been five years past since the Westing house was burnt down from fire works on the Fourth of July. Angela Wexler is now in medical school, working a part time job. She does not see her sister Turtle often, but she knows even though she is not spending time with Turtle at that time she is still very close. The scar that was indented the day of the third bomb, is still indented on her face today. Turtle Wexler is still involved with the stock market, she has made it a hobbie. She is now almost fully an adult. She is out of school, working her years in college trying to get a good education. She still is a shin kicking Turtle. Since Angela has been working in medical school and she is not at home, it has gave a Turtle a chance to become closer to her mother. Turtle in college, has not gave her very much time to spend time with her mother, but she calls home about every day. That has made her closer and closer to her mother. Grace Welxer is taking on a big part in trying to be a better mother. She has been working in a restaurant. Serving many different people. At her age she likes to do jumble puzzles in the daily paper. Mr. Wexler is working with the insurance company. Helping people with their insurance problems. Also helping people find good plans for their insurance. 
     Flora Baumbach has continued working as a dress maker. She has became very successful with designing new patterns and shapes for gowns and dresses. She misses Turtle a bunch, but she is working through it and understands every one hast to do their time in college and watch family and friends leave so they can start their journey. She now is in the habit into collecting nick-knacks. Sydelle Palaski no longer needs the attention, so has became a assistant in the kids hospital giving kids the attention that she always wanted to make them feel good about themselves. To let them know there's someone is their and will listen to them and let them express their selves. She is also became a very kind person and does not put all of the attention on her self.
     Otis Amber is enjoying his life being married to Crow. He is no longer a 60 year old delivery man. He does not live in the basement of the soup kitchen. He now is a retired man and is just enjoying being a lazy man. He has also went in to the barber shop to get his bald head shined and polished. Berth Erica Crow has went into the fortune telling. But enjoys her life being married to Otis Amber. She has became a good person, not that she wasn't. J. J. Ford was a bit over relieved after the Westing game. But continued to be a full time judge. Working with cases, and who knows she kept going after the crazy Westing Game. She has been participating in other crazy games with clues to solve and people to be found. She also gave Chris Theodarakis the money that she had received from the game. To help him out so that he was able to get a great education.
     Theo, has published a book he was writing that his agents thought was so good that he might as well publish it. Chris has healed mostly from being handicapped. That means he does not haft to be in his wheel chair any longer. He is still getting used of being up on his feet and being able to have the ability to do things again. He is put on a medication to keep healing his body, but is doing well on his own. He still has someone with him at all times helping him if he needs it. Mr. Theodarakis is a stay at home dad. Who now continues to stay home and watch the football game for excuses. Mrs. Wexler is a stay at home mom. But volunteers to bake and cook healthy meals for many different shelters. Feeding people that can not afford buying warm meals. She enjoys the experience since she loves cooking.
     Doug Hoo has became a world famous track runner. He has ran in many sports events and during certain occasions. He has one many gold, Bron's,silver,copper medals. He is almost the number one top sports runner in the state. He has grown up. He still attends school for that great education he needs to have to be able to graduate. But it will help to stay in school even though he has grown up and is now out of college, because it will only make him better for running. But he has girlfriend who he is engaged with. Mr. Hoo still has the mean old man he always was in him. He is still working in the business of running Shin Hoo's restaurant. Madame Hoo is taking classes to learn some English words. As you heard she only knows a few words. She is now a cook in not only one restaurant but two restaurant's.
     Denton Deere, sorry to say is a lonely man without Angela. But has found the way to move on and is now married to another woman. They have a daughter that is now 12 months old.

Are You Excited For Easter Break???

     So are you excited for easter break? Why or Why Not? Are you going easter egg hunting? Have you seen the movie Hop? Happy early Easter!





Westing Murder Suspects

I think one of the murderer's are Flora Baumbach because when the story said she had a retarded daughter it's possible that she could have hated her own daughter. Then her husband left her and sent her no money. That could of been because she screamed at him or could of hurt him so he left her.  It's possible he did not send money because he did not want her finding him if he sent money in a letter and it would show is address. It never did say in the story why her husband left her so it could be possible.
     I think Dr. Denton Deere is another one of the murderer suspects. I think it was him because he kidnapped Chris and Chris is handy cap so you wouldn't think somebody would do that but you just never know. He also hates Turtle and with being engaged with a very kind person it's strange he would be so mean. He could also just be a doctor so that know one expects him to be the murderer. Since he would help people not hurt them. He also was lying to Chris about saying they were going to have a sleepover but he really kidnapped him. When Cris does not know any better. You would not think a doctor would lie to a patient that can not walk or have very many abilities to do things because they can't.
     I think the last murderer of the murderer suspects could be Otis Amber. I think it could be him because he was not in the scene of the first bombing so he could have been some where else acting suspicious. He also keeps saying in the book don't blame me for being a suspect because I'm not. That could just be one of his tricks. He also delivers the mail to the Westing house, well he did and to all of Sunset towers. So he probably knows a lot of people and a lot of things. So that probably gives him the right to know something and have revenge over something so he could hurt someone. Also since he delivered mail to the Westing home he could of been the one to hurt Mr. Westing.

Police Report

     I received a call saying their was a bomb in the Theodarakis coffee shop at Sun Set Towers after the blizzard. Once I arrived, I walked into the coffee shop.  I saw tomato sauce splattered all over in the kitchen.  On the walls and just a bit every where.   In the first bombing It was Mrs. Theodorakis, she's the one who was cooking when the first bomb went off.  She was cooking tomato sauce in a can.  Their was tomato on her apron, hair and face. A witness, Mr. Doug Hoo, said his thought was that the oven was on to high, and that's his thought why the tomato sauce exploded.  The witnesses in this scene were the names of Theo and Chris Theodarakis, Sydelle Pulaski, George Theodarakis, Grace Wexler, and Judge Ford.

     I received another call saying their was a bomb in the Shin Hoo's Restaurant at Sun Set Towers.  Once I arrived, I walked into the restaurant.  I saw ashes on the ground.  I also noticed that someone was slightly injured. It was Mrs. Sydelle Pulaski. The people that were there with the ambulance, said they only thought Sydelle had a slight fracture in her right ankle. She was put on to a stretcher.  I also noticed that their were sprinklers set off. So it was told it was a good thing Mr. Hoo had a sprinkler system or he could of had a good fire. The witnesses in this scene were the names of Sydelle Pulaski, Otis Amber, Grace Wexler, Jake Wexler, Angela Wexler Turtle Wexler, Chris, Mr. and Mr. Theodarakis, Judge Ford, Mrs. Flora Baumbach.

     The similarities I have noticed are that in both scenes, once the bombs went off their was hissing, and then a bang bang, then their are red sparks then purple sparks. Second in both scenes both the bombs took place in kitchens.  Third their were many of the same witnesses in both of the scenes. 

    I believe that it is possible for Otis Amber to be a suspect since in the last bomb in Mr. Hoo's kitchen a bundled and booted figure walked through the door, and yelled Otis Amber has arrived.  Then straight after that that is when the bomb went off. So I believe possibly the person that walked through the door at that time could of yelled Otis's name to distract the witnesses, since it was a bit strange Otis had not been in either scene when the bombs went off. Even though the snow on the roads were keeping him from being there at that time you never know where he could have been. He could of set the bombs earlier, before he arrived.  So when the strange man arrived through the door, he could have been distracting the witnesses away from asking Otis why had he taken so long even though the roads were holding him back. Another strange thing was no one new the person.  That is the person I think If you put some certain clues together he could just maybe be the suspect setting off these bombs at Sun Set Towers.

When I Grow Up...

When I Grow Up...

    When I grow up I would like to be an artist.  That paints and sketches.  The money I would collect from costumers when I would sell a painting.  Would go to a children's hospital for kids, that need the help to cure their sicknesses.  I hope I would help them and help make them happy!  I love art!
    When I grow up I would like to be a chef.  I would like to be a chef because I think it would be cool if you were a really good chef and you were able to compete in cooking shows! To see who made the better dish.  I have always wanted to make a really good dinner for my family.  But apparently at age ten I’m still a bit to young to make hard dishes.  I love cooking!
    When I grow up I want to be a dancer.  I would like to dance to hip-hop and be creative with the dances I dance in.  I would like to open a dance studio.  I like dancing because it’s a time you get to have fun and enjoy dancing.  Also you can enjoy dancing with your friends or family.  I love dancing!

New Westing Character

     The new character I would add to  be Sydelle Pulaski's partner in The Westing Game would be a typical teenager.   That is at the age of 15.  Her name would be Liza.  She loves to chew bubble gum, she could go two hole weeks chewing the same piece of gum without switching to a new piece or flavor.  She thinks she knows every thing in the world [but she really doesn't].  She has a great personality.  If some body at the Sun Set Towers were to have a problem [girls only] with boys she would defiantly be the right kind of person to go to for advise.  Her kind of style is the kind of funky teenager look.  All she ever really wore for her kind of style was a hoodie with a tank top under, and capris and sneakers.  Also a funky checker striped hat with her hair down and straitened.  She will works in the coffee shop.  She also is some body that knows what happened more about the night Mr. Westing had died in his own home. She defiantly is a true friendly human being though, I could tell you that!

The Westing Game Prediction

     I predict that The Westing Game will be about... I think since their are one thousand dollar bills on the front cover of the book, and the dollars are making a house.  I am guessing that maybe some body is a millionaire.  Maybe their are is a haunted house that somebody used to live in, and this person was a millionaire.  Their are probably some strange people in this book, since it is a mystery book.  Their could be a secret living among the house on the front cover of the book.  I also think that maybe their are some children that is my age in the story.  Then maybe they are looking for clues first to be able to find something they are looking for.  I think this will be a good book!

Chapters 9-14

Chapter 9
Bud goes to the library again and he was looking for a civil war book.   Then after he left the library the librarian asked if he was hungry and he said yes.  So then she gave him a bag with a sandwich in it.    Then he was ready two set out on his journey to meet his dad, Herman E. Calloway.

Chapter 10
Bud meets a guy driving down the road that saw Bud.  Bud thought he was a vampire though because this man had a box in his car that said blood.  So Bud got into the car while this man opened the door that opened to Bud's side of the car.  When the man closed the door Bud slid over and locked all the doors, and then climbed into the drivers seat. Then put his foot on the pedal.

Chapter 11
The man finally caught up to Bud in the car.   He told the guy beware I have a pocket knife right under my leg and I'm not afraid to use it.  The man told Bud the blood in the box is not from me it is for some one's operation. He also mentioned after he told Bud he could open it and when Bud did their were only bottles of blood. That he wouldn't need to catch any body and suck the blood out of their neck's he would just use the bottle's of blood to drink. Then the guy had two show Bud his teeth. Finally Bud let the man in the car. Then the man told Bud he new his father.  On the car way two this man's house the man said my name is Lefty Lewis.   Bud pretended two fall a sleep so he wouldn't haft to keep listening to this man asking him so many questions.

Chapter 12
Once they got to Lefty Lewis's home Bud still pretended to be a sleep.  Lefty Lewis's wife cleaned his close ad cleaned him up.  Then layed him on a bed so Bud could stretch his legs out.  Then after a while he woke up and acted like he didn't know where he was when he really did.  Then Lefty Lewis's wife said come down I made some breakfast.  The hole family went down stairs to eat breakfast. Lefty Lewis's kids kept asking Bud questions.  Then during the time they were eating Bud watched to see how much the other kids would take cause he didn't want to look like a pig or anything.  Bud sure did have a good breakfast though.

Chapter 13
It was time for them to get back on the road. So Lefty Lewis could get to his dad.  Bud was so excited to  meet his father.  After they got on the road to go meet Bud's father, they ran into some traffic.  Every one  knew Bud's dad.   Once they got to the studio his dad worked at, Bud ran in the door.  He new his dad the moment  he saw the back of his dad's head.  When he heard Mr. Calloway's voice it was different then he had expected.  His dad was also taller then had expected.

Thank you so much Mr. Cordes.  You brought a big smile to my face when I saw the amazing laptops.  I know they cost a lot of money, but I guess we really must of persuaded you.  We really needed new ones.

Chapter 8

Chapter eight was about Bud and his friend that he just had met.   Then he and his friend went to a restaurant and saw Deza there and Bud helped her clean dishes.  She kept touching his hand so I think she likes him.  Then it talked about them.  They were hanging out and talking.  Then Deza was going to kiss Bud.  He thought he had to kiss her rather wise he said she would think that he was to chicken.  Then she sang a song, it was a song from a small band she knew.  Then Bud and his friend had to get on a train that was supposed to take them to Chicago.  So when It was time to get on the train one of Bud's fliers flew out of his suite case.  It was his favorite one to.  The blue one.   So he had to run after the train. His friend yelled to throw the suite case up two him, because he got on the train in time.  But when Bud threw It up to him, his friend got the suite case but that blue flier blew out of the suite case.  Luckily It blew right into Bud's hands.  It was then to late, he couldn't get on the train.  Then the police came and again started burning up the shacks and other possessions that belonged to the property.  That was chapter eight.

Bud Not Buddy Chapters 1-7

Chapters 1-2
Chapter one was about meeting Bud Caldwell who liked to be called Bud Not Buddy.  Then it talks about him meeting the Amos's and their son Toddy.  Bud has a suite case that carries his clothes,  rocks in a bag, and really important fliers.  He also carried some other important things in their.  He always  tied a curtain sort of knot on his suite case so if somebody looked in side it and they tied it right back up Buddy would know.   Chapter two was about sort of a fight, one morning Bud woke up and somebody was sticking a pencil up his nose.  Well guess who it was Toddy the big shot! He was trying to see how far he could get it up Bud's nose.  So they got into quite the little fight.  Bud got into some trouble by Mrs. Amos, when it was really Toddy's fault.  So the punishment for Buddy was to get his suite case taken away, and haft to sleep in the shed.

Chapters 3-4
Chapter three is about Buddy sleeping in the shed Mr. Amos has Buddy walk to the shed with him and then puts him in there and the windows are even covered up.  So that night was frightening. Bud saw a bat [a real one] but it was really a hornets nest.  He thinks he needs to stab the hornets in their hearts.   But I don't think that is a good idea. Bud finds a way out of the door.  Chapter four is about Bud he finds his way out of the door on the shed and one of the Amos's windows were still open.   So Bud decided why not just slide right in side so he did.  He found his suite case and then something bad happened, he found the Amos's gun case and was going to think about shooting the Amos's but nope didn't happen.


Chapters 5-6
Chapter five is about Bud and he goes to the library.  He asks the librarian if she could watch his suite case for a while.  To keep it behind the counter/ check out desk.  She said that was fine.  Then it talked about Bud's mom and why she named him Bud.   She named him Bud because a bud is a flower, it's a name of a dog.   Chapter six is about him going to this restaurant.   These people think that he looks like their son. So they mistaken him for another boy.  So somebody paid for his dinner.

Chapter 7
Chapter seven is about Bud going  to the library and retrieving his suite case.   He asks for a particular librarian.  But they are not there.  Bud loves the sweet, fresh, new smell of the library.  The lady at the front desk says that this librarian Bud is looking g for has moved.  Then it tells another one of Bud Caldwell's rules.  Then at the end of the chapter the lady at the desk tells Bud how long it would take to walk to the librarian's house he was looking for.

Blog Question

Do you think Bud's pretend parents in the Restaurant, during the morning were old, young, or mean, or nice?  Why or why not?

Bud Not Buddy Prediction

I think the book will be about a boy, and maybe he moves.   On the cover I think he will maybe move, or maybe he just travels.  Or maybe he just goes on a world wide road trip, but I think that because he has a suit case in the pic.  On the cover it looks like the boy is sitting their imagining something.   Their is a  big poster in the background, so possibly their is some sort of band involved.  I t could be a famous band, because it looks like it is sort of an older band.    Their  could be someone in the band  that the boy knows, or looks up too.  Or maybe the boy wants to be in the band, or become famous some day.  I think this story will maybe take place before 1963 possibly.  I think this book will be a great book.

Thoughts on Chapter 14

From the chapter Every Bird and Bug in Birmingham Stops and Wonders, the church burns down, because someone dropped a big bomb.  Their were people that were hurt, or injured.  From the epilogue that I read It made me feel really sad knowing that African American would have a little one room school, that they would all haft to share it. If I was the boss back then I would defiantly change the rules, every one would be treated fairly.

Chapter 1 And you wonder why we get called the weird Watsons?

I picked chapter one for my favorite chapter, because when Byron gets his lips stuck to the mirror, I think that is hilarious!  All though I think after reading the book, and hearing what Byron all did, he deserves it.  But I think that was the best chapter I've ever read in Guided Reading.  To bad they never made any TV shows for this book I think it would be a really popular show.

Limmericks

There once was a girl named Riley,
She had the biggest house in Hawaii,
She got rid of the house,
Then lived with a mouse,
And changed her name to Shyley.



There once was a fat old frog,
That just sat there on a log,
And stared there at the sun,
And then begun,
To hop off for a jog.



There once was a boy named I,
Who was very very shy,
He had two eyes,
Hung with the guys,
And told a bunch of lies.



There once were some cooks,
Who read lots of books
That piled up real high,
Clear up to the sky,
And had there good looks.

Chapter's 7-10

 Chapter 7
Byron gets a brand new hair due, that he's not supposed to but did any way.  When momma finds out she stays calm, and just told him that his dad could deal with him when he got home.  When his dad gets home his dad tells Byron to come down stairs. So Byron does and dad takes him up to the bathroom, and shaves his head til he was completely bald.


Chapter 8
Papa and momma are going to send Byron to grandma Sands for the summer.  So they go start buying things for the Brown Bomber. Then one day dad has the family come out side and see what he had gotten.  It was a radio.  They all got to listen to ther songs that day.

Chapter 9
The Watsons gather there things to take Byron to Birmingham.  Momma has a notebook that she has everything planned in for the next three days.  They then begun to start there journey. Some nights they didn't  stay in a motel. There just kept going.


Chapter 10
As they were pulling over some where there lights turned off. Every one was quite frightened. Kenny said that the mountains looked like big monster's.  Then Joetta said she was scared.  But finally they got the lights going and got going again.

Chapters 5-6 The Watsons go to Birmingham

Chapter five
This chapter is about Byron, he goes up stairs to the bathroom and locks the door.  The only time he ever locks the door is if he's up to something.  After a while Kenny went up there and looked through the key hole, and he saw Byron, he was playing with some fake little figures that he made out of toilet paper.  He was practicing a fake movie he was performing.  He named the fake movie Nazi Parachutes Attack America and Get shot down over the Flint River by Captain Byron Watson and His Flame thrower of Death.  He was doing crazy things like when one of the parachutist was dead Byron would flush them down the toilet pretending they were floating down the Flint river.  Soon after mom got tired hearing the toilet every few seconds, she went up there and pounded on the bathroom door, it flew open and hit the bathtub.  She was furious Byron was using matches and she grabbed him by the neck, and drug him down the stairs with one hand on the neck and matches in the other. Once they got in the living room mom looked in her hand that the wet matches were in.  Mom's hands tend to get sweaty when she gets mad or very upset.  So she told Joetta to go in the kitchen and get some new matches Joetta refused she didn't think   that was such a good idea for her mom  to burn Byron. But the mom was going to teach him a lesson so he learns to leave alone the matches.  At the end of the chapter it almost happened, when mom gave up.
Chapter six
In chapter six mom asks the kids to go to the market and get a half gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, and a small can of tomato paste.  So they weren't going to argue.  They went to the store but mom had told them they had to tell the man they were on the welfare list. The kids were really embarrassed they did not want to be made fun of because they are on the welfare list at the market. As they got there they found what they needed, and what do you know, Byron went and hid behind the comics aisle so a least he wouldn't haft to be embarrassed.   Kenny was told the amount of the food and really quietly so no one could hear told the cashier, but we're on the welfare list. The clerk said there's nothing to be embarrassed about a welfare means that your dad doesn't haft to pay for something you buy every time you're here that means that he will pay for it next time. They were both very relieved  to hear that.  As they walked out the door Byron was acting all sweet and generous.  He put his arm around Kenny and even offered to carry the grocery bags.  Byron had bought some things like, cookies.  That his parents had not known about and weren't going to.  He offered Kenny one, at first Kenny wasn't quite sure.  He thought possibly it was a trick, or that it had fell on the ground and there was dirt on the top.  But ate it and it was fine. Byron offered a few more, and a few more.  Which was quite strange.  Kenny couldn't tell his parents because he had eaten some himself, so he had to take part of the blame.  He didn't want to get in trouble though so that was there little secret.  That was practically that chapter.

The sun

The Sun       * The sun's energy comes from nuclear reactions that occur deep in side it.
*  The sun has solar flares.
*  Corona is a glow that is made up of gas and then shines around the sun.
*  The sun has a color pattern, the order of the color pattern goes blue, white, yellow, orange, then last but not least red, red's the last color the lower the color cooler the surface is, higher of color hotter the surface.
* The sun is the star at the center of the solar system.
*  Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface, the photosphere, associated with strong local magnetic activity.
*The sunspots, which are about 4,500 degrees k, only look dark because of the contrast with the surrounding surface, which is about 6,000 degrees k.
*  The core of the sun is the source of all the sun's energy.
*  The sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000 Celsius [11,000 Fahrenheit].
*All the plants in the world need the light and heat to grow and the sun does that.
*  The scientist estimate the sun to be 4.6 billion years old.
*  When the earth is closest to the sun each year it is still 91 million miles away.
*  When the sun is farthest away each year [as in winter] it is 94.5 million miles away.
*  The sun's temperature is 15.6 million degrees at it's core.
*  All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
*  The sun is a star not a planet.
*  Some people use solar energy that comes from the sun's rays to replace other sources of energy for heat and fuel.
*  The surface of the sun is called the photosphere and the layer above it is called chromosphere.
*  The sun is the largest object in our solar system.
*  Spectacular loops and prominences are often visible on the sun's limb.
*  Since the formation of the solar system the sun's output has increased by about 40%.
Those are some facts about the sun.

Chapters 3-4 The Watsons go to Birmingham

Chapter 3
This chapter is mainly about this boy named Rufus and he is a brand new kid in school.  There was a boy named LJ.  He would come over a lot to Kenny's house to play dinosaurs  because one person would haft to be the American dinosaur and one would haft to be the Nazi.  But there was only one Kenny.  But Lj was a stealer.  He always would put the dinosaurs in his back pockets or his shoes, you could tell when they were in his pockets but not when they were in his shoes.  So Kenny stopped playing with that little boy.  So this new little boy, Rufus would just show up at Kenny's house and Kenny was a little worried because that little boy found out where he lived.  So they started hanging out anyways one night when they were playing Kenny saw that Rufus  had two dinosaurs in his pocket.   He could also tell what they were.   So he decided  that maybe it wasn't such a good idea that he was Rufus's friend.  So that was the end of them to playing.  That was practically chapter three.

Chapter 4
This chapter is mainly about these really cool leather gloves and Kenny got one and someone else got one but only one.  This leather glove is really important to Kenny.   But one day this kid was outside and was bulling some other kids.  Byron came to the rescue and helped the kids.   The bully had one of the gloves and Byron snatched it and was hitting the bully in the face with it.  That was mainly that chapter.

Being in a new building

Being in a new building is totally different.  But I'm doing great.  Now I'm in Adams Elementary.  I'm in fourth grade.  I have Mr. Simmelink,as my first boy teacher.  But he's really nice.  My favorite subject is science.  Right now we are learning about the solar system.  My favorite out of specials is music.  I think it's an important subject in your life.  Next year I would like to practice playing the guitar, but I don't think there's guitar's so I'll just haft to get by with playing the clarinet.  I like how in class my teacher makes it fun by letting us use markers on our desk's for math.  My favorite school lunch is there hamburgers.  During the winter we get to play on this huge snow pile.  We read the  Narnia series which is always exiting because if we pass the Ar tests we get to watch the movie.  Everything  about our school I think is pretty neat. But most of all the part of the reason I'm getting through it is because the amazing friends that encourage me and I have  an awesome teacher to support me. But there's still one year to pass.

Chapters 1-2

The Watsons go to Birmingham

Chapter 1

     Chapter one is about a family, the Watsons.   Where they live it is freezing out side, they say that it feels like one thousand below zero.   They all huddle together on the couch because there heater doesn't work good at all.   So they are going to go to there aunts house.   So they tell the kids that they need to scrape off the windshield so they can see to pole out. There was a bar that divided each half.   Byron would get a half, and Kenny would get a half. So as they started Kenny was almost done and he asked Byron how he was coming and all he had done was the one mirror so that he could see him self.    Kenny always does all the work.    As Byron looked at him self in the mirror he started saying things about how he looked that he looked so handsome.   He kissed his reflection and what do you know his lips have frozen to the mirror.    Kenny continued  working and she heard keh-ee keh-ee.  Kenny ran in and got his parents. His parents came out her dad started crying because he was laughing so hard, and his mom was just about to cry.    Dad started to joke about we are just going to haft to drive to your aunts house and and Byron will just haft to run along the side of the car. Mom didn't think that was funny at all she mentioned using warm water and pouring it against the glass of the mirror.   They tried that didn't work it only froze.   So mom put her hand under his chin and on his forhead and said I'm sorry I  haft to do this and ripped him off.  That was pretty much it.     

Chapter 2

     Chapter two is about Kenny in school.   He gets bullied a lot.    Byron thinks he rules the school.  Which makes Kenny's life in school even worse.    People make fun of him, they pick on him, they call him  names.  Every once in a while Byron and his friend will skip school.  Then when Kenny would get off of the bus  he would always be the last one to get off because Because Byron and Buphead would always be there waiting.     Later on in the chapter Kenny had to start wearing an eye patch because every time he looked in the mirror his eye would go back in the corner. That was pretty much all chapter two was about.
