Week 2 Day 4 (Thursday)
1) What did you read about today? Be specific.
1) Richard became more aware of life. Ross, his older brother had became his hero. He became very close friends with a girl named Donna. He knew she had a crush on his brother, Ross, but he really didn't care. He had a lot of fun experience with his brother. He felt as he finally had someone who cared about him. Richard shared all his precious memories with Ross until he had to leave for the army. When he left he felt abandoned. His mom's nickname for Richard became "Nixon," because the president was Richard Nixon and she hated him and thought he was worthless. He didn't tell his mom because he actually felt proud he was nicknamed after the president. He felt worthy. After a while he started finding people around the neighborhood to become friends with, who had similar thoughts to him. He rode his bike, smoked, and drank, but he didn't do it too much because he knew that was what was causing trouble in his life. One day his friends were showing him a rifle and of course they didn't know how to use it since they were kid. Richard felt awkward and decided on leaving, In a few polices came and were searching around. His mother asked what was going on and they said two kids just shot 3 people by accident. Without thinking she instantaneously blamed it on Richard, saying that he is a criminal, which was just another cause of getting to hit him. Richard tried building up courage to stand up but he couldn't, he was too scared.
2) How do you feel about what you read today?
2) I was so happy he finally had someone to feel for him, but I was so depressed by the thought he had to leave to the army.
3) Think about your favorite character. What happened to him/her today?
3) He got the greatest amounts of joys he had ever received so far. However, then, everything was ruined since his brother had to leave to the army.
4) How would you feel if the same thing that happened to him/her, happened to you?
4) I would find myself so happy with the joys but I would become so sad if all of it was suddenly destroyed. I would try to see why it had crashed like that.
5) I want to know how will he stand up to his mother.
5) I want to know how will he stand up to his mother.
5) What questions do you have about what you read today?
6) What do you predict will happen next in this story?
6) I think the police might rescue Richard.
