Chapter 20 Misfits questions .

How do Mr. Kellerman and Bobby sow empathy towards one another? How does this strengthen their relationship? 
      Mr. Kellerman apologizes to Bobby for how he has been acting lately especially how he acted that day, he said he must just be stressed out about his mother dying. (Pg. 200)
      
          

Chapter 19 Misfits questions.

      In this discussion with Ms. Wyman and, later, Mr. Kiley, Bobby surprises everyone with his rebuttal. What does he argue, and how does he convince Wyman and Kiley? 
      Bobby argues about the sighns and meeting with Mr. Kiley, "Maybe we could meet with you and Mr. Kiley," Bobby says that he wants them to just hear the people of the No-Name Party, "If you would just hear what it is we are trying to do,you would understand about the signs. Will you do that, Ms. Wyman, Please? Just hear us?"  (Pg. 185)
      Bobby convinced Wyman and Kiley by saying, "The problem with the Freedom Party was that it wasn't specific enough. Even saying we represented minorities didn't mean a whole lot. But saying we want to put an end to kids being called names, well, that does have a meaning. And you have to admit it would make a difference. I mean, you don't have to admit anything, I'm not telling you what to do." (Pg. 189)

Encyclopedia entry #4

Sun: The sun means a lot to me, without it we all would be so.. well.. um . white, life would be so depressing, no hot weather, well I mean there would be hot weather but it wouldn't be the same without the sun. cloudy and rainy all day every day? man wouldn't that suck? 

Encyclopedia Entry #4

Callie: Callie is my best-est friend ever! we do everything together and I can be myself around her without getting judged, well I mean I do get judged but its okay cause I judge her to and its not like we mean it, we do it in a jokingly way... I guess. She always eats my homework, and messes up my room, and eats my food, So shes pretty much my sister, we get into our fights and when we do I feel like I have no one, we have the best times together, the best memories, And the best laughs, I love her so much! <3

Along the fence, among the cabbages, lived a great ginormous, gopher, every day when it pulled down my fruits and vegetables with a deep sucking sound, it would scream like the screams of a coyote, the gopher must have been around 600 pounds. On a sunny day, in the garden was the gopher, without a sound, I crept in slimy muck, past the cellar door  to the garden, and sprinkled gopher poison all over, after a couple of days he was gone and i could finally play outside with my friends.

Encyclopedia entries #3
Music: Music means a lot to me it helps me concentrate when I cant and makes me feel better when i'm in my worst moods, and even makes me feel sad when i'm in my happiest. My stereo in my room is always on except for when my mom tells me turn it off, when i'm the only one home I turn it on full blasts and sing my lungs out even though i'm not good at singing.
Colors: Colors mean so much to me, without colors our lives would be so plain just black and white? what would be like without the yellow sun and blue sky? or the green grass and red roses? I cant even imagine it. Or maybe I just don't want to.

Poem for Two Voices by Symi and Callie


Morning Girl
Together
Star Boy
I like mornings

I like night


We choose family over everything

I’m more quite than others

I’m very outgoing


We both help around the house

People treat me with respect


Our family expects a lot out of us
People still treat me like a kid



I was excited for a new sister

I wasn’t excited for a new sister



We like to be alone




I like to be independent

I like for people to notice me

We share a lot of things in common

One beautiful day after school my friend Callie came over and wanted to hold my very fluffy, soft, gray, girl, chinchilla named Chai, and since she always did when she comes over I said sure, she was doing her 'circus' acts with Chai, (holding Chai on her head) which kinda scared me so I told Callie to put her back in her  cage (that really needed to be cleaned) but Callie refused so I had the most 'wonderful' idea to make a leash for Chai which was just a string with one end of the string tied to her waist and the other tied to her cage, not a very good idea cause when I went to the bathroom and came back she was loose, after yelling at Callie for about 5 minutes I locked her in the cage and went looking for Chai, great, she was under my bed, the messiest part in my room, this was gonna be hard since Chai was so fast and could hop super high, after fighting with Chai for almost an hour I was exhausted and beat up, I think Chai thought it was game, she still wanted to get loose but no way was that happening anytime soon, i took laughing Callie out of the cage and put Chai back in, even though it was so hard it still a funny memory that I will always remember.    
Beach 
The beach means so much to me, it is a place of relaxation and fun, I go everyday after  school and swim in the ocean even if the waves are big I still go, it is so fun to me, I absolutely love the beach,  I go there just to think about things and play on the rocks or tan or swim or all three.
Pictures
Pictures mean a lot to me they are a way of keeping the best and funniest memory's even the sad ones,  plus its really fun to take them and then look at them later, the best feeling is getting the perfect picture at the perfect time.

Encyclopedia of a Ordinary Life

Family
Family is so much to me,  we fight sometimes but doesn't every family? We defiantly aren't anywhere close to perfect, we absolutely crazy, but I know that if I ever needed anything they would be there.

 Friends
Friend mean the world to me, they are there in your happiest moments and sad, without them I would be a emotional wreck, friends are the opposite of enemies, if there were no friends then im pretty sure there would be chaos.
Phone
A phone is a devise that I have had since first grade, I don't know what I would do without it, its a way of contacting people and playing games or listening to music or going on all of them social networks. Symphony Roy My name is very different, I usually just go by Symi because its a lot easier to write, I like my name but i don't think its the best.

Tweet Memoir

I'm at the water slides in Sacramento, I walk up the stairs to the avalanche, My hands are sweaty, Its really hot, One more person to go then its my turn, I grab my inner tube and look down, Its so far, I start shaking and sit down, And then go, I screamed, With happiness

6 Word Memoir

Walk into the fair, butterflies start.
Look outside my window, depressing fog.
Wake up, eight-ten, time to rush.
Sun shines down, I'm hot and sweaty.
