    I like how Gabe had lots of questions to why Jason wanted to save Hera a Greek god. It also kind of connects to my story of self confidence on his journey to save her cause I think he Knows how tough its going to be to save her.

      I also like Sainties story because it was so detailed and he wrote allot about it, it was a  good writing piece.

Self Conffidence

      In the book The Cat Ate MY Gym Suit a girl named Marcy Lewis tries her best to get the best teacher she ever back working at her school because the principal fired her for not saying the pledge.

      Marcy tries her hardest to get her favorite ELA teacher she ever had MS, Finney back. Ms, Finney taught Marcy allot she also helped her make friends in a after school program she created named smedley. To get Ms, Finney back Marcy forms a group that also wants Ms, Finney back and they only have less thane a week to prepare and have a plain to get the teacher back. they have meetings at friends houses and everything but one kid at the school who didn't like Ms, Finney told the principal that Marcy and three other people were the leaders to get Ms, Finney back. Marcy and her three friends Joel Anderson Robert Alexander and Nancy Sheridan were called to the principals office. ll of their parents were there including Marcy's Mom. principal stone was telling the parents that your children are the leaders in a group to get back a teacher who was fired and multiple times I told them they she wasn't coming back but they keep on going on making plains. All the parents except for Roberts Mom was angry about what's going on every body else was glad that their kids were standing up for what they believed in. there for the principal suspended them for ten days no make up for the days they missed and it was going in their records. 

      this part of the story really shows how Marcy has self confidence and stand up for what she think is right no matter the consequences even if she got suspended. To me self confidence is really what Marcy did and stand up for what you believe in no matter what. People can have self confidence in anything it could be during a job, protests pretty much anything. You can be a desprite citizen that have bad people in your neighborhood and your scard to go near them even scard to be in the same building as them so you try to get them locked up for something they did even though they treaten you, you still have self confidence to lock them up.

never leave friends behind

      In the book the outside shot one of the characters Juice get stuck in a music store because their was this contest that he wanted to win, To win he had to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar.

      Lonnie finally went to sleep from a party he had when one of his roommate came in and woke him up telling him that Juice got stuck in a music store. At the party Lonnie was drinking so he was drunk so didn't know half the words he was saying. But Sly his roommate got him up and brought him to the store. when they got their Sly had an idea to carrie him through the transom but Sly was to weak to pull him. Since he couldn't pull him Lonnie tried he had enough strength to pull him but the cops pulled the curve and he lost his grip that's when Sly helped finally he got out. that's when they started to run Lonnie couldn't out run them because he was still drunk so they caught him Sly and Juice ran back to help him but two other cops came up behind them and arrested.

      In that part of the story it really showed their friendship and how they wouldn't leave  Lonnie and let him get arrested for something he didn't do.

     

Distractions

      The book the outside shot is about a college student named Lonnie Jackson who leaves Harlem to take a basketball scholarship.
    
      when Lonnie left Harlem for the basketball scholar he knew he would have to keep his head straight and have a clean record. with the pressure of his tough classes and high stakes basketball he has one year to manage college and pull trough. Lonnie tries his hardest to focus on basketball and practice when ever he can so he can go pro while trying to keep his grades up to play basketball. on his journey to the pros he meets a girl named Sherry Jewett in his history class.

      one thing that really sucks are distractions. it sucks because when your trying to achieve your life goals rather its a dream job, or dream school. distractions can be school a relationship job or pregnancy. The most important distraction can be a death from someone in your family or friends. A big distraction for me is school its hard  tough to long and its to much work.
