**How does what others think about you affect how you think about yourself? ** Have you ever been put down by an insult? What people say or think about you, makes you view yourself differently. When somebody insults you, you might feel put down, or not good enough, and it changes the way you view yourself. The same thing goes when you get compliments, you change the way you view yourself. But when you get a compliment now you most likely will feel more proud, or less cowardly.  In Manic Magee by Jerry Spinelli Jeffrey Magee gets called names, and occasionally doesn’t make about it. Maniac was a lay back kind of kid, but that when they called him a Fishbelly he ran away, and couldn’t live at the Beales’ house anymore. Sometimes the things people say to one another is hurtful, and the person might take it personally like Maniac Magee did with the Fishbelly situation. Also, the time where Maniac won Mars bar in the race & everyone taunted Mars Bar about it, Mars Bar gave Maniac that feel of hatred for just him. Maniac Magee felt bad about it, because of that hatred in his eyes that he started over thinking about why he did that.  When someone gives me a compliment I feel more up, and proud of myself. As though opposite when somebody insults me it makes me over think about myself like Maniac did about the race he won against Mars Bar. There have been times though that people obsess over what other people think, and feel that they’re worthless, which often leads to them their death. About a thousand teenagers a year give their life up, because of what people thought of them, and how worthless they felt. But people also, can feel brave when being complimented. An example a girl I knew was so pessimistic about herself, and life until a lot of people gave her compliments her whole life had changed around. You shouldn’t let other people thoughts affect the way you think, or view about yourself though.

=__ 11/22/10 __= ====**In Chapter 9, "Sunday Visitors," Peg gets a visit from her parents. At first, she is annoyed by her roommates involvement in their conversation, and Alice's reaction to her parents. Reread page 83-84.**==== ====**Now consider the following quote from page 84: "A window of understanding opened in my mind, and the breeze of compassion blew in.

If not, then why did she say there was a window? Also, what does it reveal about Peg's character?**====
 * Consider the following open ended question. Then, answer the question in ASSI format. Remember: ASSI is two paragraphs long and clearly uses the book to support the answer.**
 * The quote means that she gets why her roomates are like this now she was mad before because it was annoying she couldn't talk to her parents alone, but then she saw they didn't have any company. No It didn't mean there was an actually a window there that opened she meant understanding why they were like that and** a breeze of compassion means she felt bad for them. **After she understood better she let it go because she knew that it made them feel special and happy knowing someone was there for them too.

 * In Chapter 3 of //Small Steps//, Peg has a problem with a nurse who refuses to turn her, even though she is in pain.**
 * **What reasons does Peg have for being angry with the nurse?**
 * **Do you think Peg does the right thing by telling her parents about this incident?**

In Chapter three Peg's reason to be angry with the nurse for not turning is because Peg could of have died for not getting enough blood on one side and if she had died it would of been the nurse's fault. Not turning Peg meant she was now in even more pain waiting for those 30 minutes to come must of been awful just hurting, and counting for them to come. We all take advantage of how we can breath, move whenever we want, or walk but most of us don't know how much people suffer just do those things. When we move at night others had to wake up and suffer that until 30 minutes came.

Peg does do the right thing by telling her parents about this incident because if she wouldn't have possibley the nurse would start ignoring Peg for what she said that one night. Peg will always remember that lady who didn't move her over forever so imanigne what would happen if she didn't say anything possibley the lady would be meanier and ignore Peg at times. The nurse did have a certain point if she had moved Peg over everybody else would complain but Peg had 3 kinds of polio she was different than the other ones the nurse was listening to rules, but Peg's health would of turned bad just for not listening to her. Also not telling her parents about this incident meant saying that mean lady everyday at night and knowing she is coming, and if she hadn't said anything she would keep it forever without doing nothing. Which one is would you pick, saying something and doing something about it or saying nothing and wishing you had?

=__**11/2/10**__= In the first two chapters of //Small Steps//, Peg is diagnosed with Polio, 3 different kinds! Put yourself in her place and write a paragraph explaining how you feel, what thoughts are going through your mind, and what you would do next. If I was Peg I would feel awful like the world is coming all down on me because she had gotten all 3 kinds of polio. Having to come down with three kinds of polio is awful going through my head if I were her is I'm gonna probably feel worse now and may never see my family again, I would be going through a lot of rough times. My thoughts would be belittled, very negtive because I wouldn't get to see my friends family ever again just nurses and doctors, and I would be missing a lot of childhood
