HW#58

Today I read "Jiggy".Gerald went to school and he saw that everybody was studying a paper even more than homework,he didn't know what the paper is about.He then figured that the paper had hip hop songs on it.They were studying it because every year in the school they give children a chance to win $5,000and they have to answer a hip hop song as for that is what they think.Though they have to past the first stage which is make a basket with your opposite hand and the first stage is today and Gerald is very nervous,he is because he has a very hard time shooting with his left.Though when the time came he made it.

I think Gerald Loves Suzzane.I think this because he was dreaming that he won the money and when he won he was rushed off to limo where Suzzane was in and he got several kisses from her.I think the author didn't want Gerald to look desperate but he probably fantasizes about her.He said that he feels really special because she waits for him and sits at a empty table with him(plus she is cute).

Today I read "Jiggy".Gerald was in gym and they were playing Badminton and Gerald was playing very well with this girl named Suzzane and after gym she put in a good name for him and was being noticed.When school was done he had gone to Steve's house and saw how rich and cool he was.Though Steve was really alone except for the maid.His parents are always on business trips so he was very bored most of the time and he didn't have a brother or a sister.

The maid Mrs.Miles makes me think about Miles the student.They name makes me think this because they both have Miles in their names(obviously).I think Suzzane likes Gerald.I think this because Suzzane whispered something at her friends that made them smile at him.

HW#54

Today I started a new book called "Jiggy".I read that this boy named Gerald had started a new day at middle school when he walked in there was a boy who what he calls "Jiggy" which means cool,hot,amazing,awesome,fresh and more so Gerald called him Mr.Name Brand since every thing Mr.Name Brand had on was was the same brand.Gerald didn't make any friends that first day of school but he did make friends with Mr.Name Brand and his friends by showing of his basket ball skills.He also figured Mr.Name Brand's real name was Steve.

I think Steve is weird but cool.Steve is weird because every time he means to say hi to Gerald he gives him the Universal nod.I think he is cool because he wears very nice cloths.I see a

Today I finished reading "Slob".Owen made friends with Mason.He got into some deep trouble because Mason ran out of class due to a seizure he was going to have and Owen thought he was scared and he soon ran out.Mason then said not to let anybody see,so Owen kept his promise.Then gym was over and lunch had started so Owen had found out that Izzy had took his lunch sack but had not taken his Oreo's but Owen thought he did so he had been very angry with him.Owen found out that Jeremy had been elected president of GWAB (Girls who are boys) and that she had put videos in Nemesis because she felt sad for him and she wanted to make him happy.Jeremy then confessed that she is no longer a member of GWAB and that she had been forced to steal his lunch if she wanted to remain a member without having to cut her hair and Izzy had caught her and explained how he suspected it was Mason Rag so she made him promise not to tell and she wrote the note that said to fallow when Mason leaves so he sees he didn't do it.Then after 3 months he lost weight,realized Nemesis couldn't work, become great friends with Mason,have people stop teasing him,pray for the first time in his life.

I think book is a great book and I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes funny ,sad,and action books. I would recommend because this book was very interesting keeps you wanting more.I was right that Jeremy was stealing his food.I was also right about Owen loosing
weight.I am very surprised that Izzy likes Owen's sister.

HW#50

Today I read "SLOB".Owen had explained to Nima how his parents had been killed by a murderer and when he called the cops his "mom" picked up since she is the dispatcher.He told her what had happened so she then sent the cops and soothed him while the cops came,like telling him he did a good thing by holding Jeremy back.She then legally adopted them.He then told Nima that he is building Nemesis because it would reveal who the killer is.He then got into a heated argument with Jeremy because she said that figuring out who the murder is would not help anything like about his weight.

I wonder why did Nima make that prayer to the murder instead of just Owen's parents .I think maybe just maybe Nima could be the murder like he could have been drunk or sniffing cocaine.I was wrong he was trying to figure out who is the murderer is not how he got huge.I do believe he will find out how he got so fat.
