May 25,2011 Maniac Magee Book Report How does what others think about you affect how you think about yourself? How others think about me affect the way I think about myself by how the mean things can put me down, make me feel bad about myself, and make me feel depressed. If someone ruins your day by lowering your self esteem why should you lower theirs? Be the bigger person. Also when people say things about me badly they make me think “is what she/he said true?” But on the other hand if someone say something good about you that always makes me feel like I am awesome, but I don’t get to happy about myself. Maniac Magee is a very strong brave person to not let anyone put him down, Like Mars bar. Mars Bar insulted Maniac but Maniac knows how to stand up for himself. Also Maniac doesn’t care what people say about him living with the buffalos, he knows only what he thinks matters. Next, Maniac is a nice friend to be around; he will never try to hurt you in any way. Lastly, Maniac Beats everyone’s suffice score and maniac is determined. In my life I have heard people’s racism and it’s not right. Just like maniac got the east and west to agree to accept each other I would try to be the same to be a Samaritan and help people feel good about them self. I can relate this by how when I was in school walking back to class, and someone that would be on the east end was bullying a west ender making fun of his pale light skin. I told them to stop just like maniac stopped the racism in two mills the racism can stop anywhere. Caitlin Crumling December 2,2010

=__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. From that moment on, I was glad to share my visiting family with my roommates."= =Respond in a paragraph: What does this quote mean? Does she literally mean that a window was opened? If not, then why did she say there was a window? Also, what does it reveal about Peg's character?=

The quote " A window of understanding opened my mind, and the breeze of compassion flew in" means that something opened her mind and told her how fortanite she was for her family and how lucky she is to have a family thats come to see her no matter how far away or anything. So she had sympathy (compassion) for them so the compassion is the breeze she feels for her roomates.So she means that she is starting to understand more about for her roomates. She feels compasionet for them.

11/10/10 In __smallsteps__ by Peg Kehret peg doesnt get along with the nurse very well because peg wanted to be turned and the nurse did not because she has rules to follow turn the patient every 30 min. Also why they were arguing she could of been turned though too. So i dont think i do think at the same time reasons why and why not peg would tell her parents. i think she would because she was in a lot of pain and she want to be turned. another reason why she shouldnt of is because the nurse does have rules to follow and she probably did not want to get fired.

I can connect to this by when my cousin was in the hospital he wanted to get more medicine because he was really sick and the nurse could only give him so much medicine a day and he wanted more because he did not feel any better. So when his parents came in he told some of what he wanted and diddnt get. This relates to peg by when she wanted to be turned and diddnt get to be she told her parents but really the nurse was just doing her job she was not trying to be mean. But also peg and my cousin were in a lot of pain and they couldnt take not being turned and not getting his medicine..

11/2/10 Put yourself in Peg's place, how would you feel? If i were peg i would feel like i am grounded from a place and not a loud to move. This is how peg feels because she has 3 kinds of polios and it is really hard. If i was in a hospital for that long i would freak. i would be like crying like the rain comming down on a storm. Also if i were peg i would hate to not see parents. I would hate to be peg right now. Peg must want to reallly get rid of her respitory and spinal bulbar polio.
