No Easy Answer

How Did I Get Myself into This?
Their are four characters in the book I am reading right now. It is Lance Hickerson, Bobby Johnson, Ms. Andrea Jenson and the main character Anthony Long. Lance and Bobby are football players for Pine Crest High in northern Minnesota but Anthony was just the football manager and the unofficial photographer. All these boys were in the locker room talking about one of their teachers Ms. Jenson. Bobby said that Ms. Jenson goes skinny dipping but they don't believe him becasue they think she won't do that because she's a teacher and it's not allowed but Bobby kept on going about it. Bobby didn't see it but his dad did. He said that his dad was fishing at a lake and saw her walking out the lake naked. Lance and Anthonys jaws just dropped. In order for them to belive Bobby they went to spy on the teacher Ms. Jenson. They were waiting for her to go out and go in the lake naked they had a camera to capture that moment. When she came out and took off her robe and Lance was suppose to take a picture but we was so shocked that he missed it and Anthony got mad at him so now they have to wait till she gets out. They kept on waiting and waiting till a car came to Ms. Jensons house and a girl came out trying to talk to her so Ms. Jenson finally came out of the lake and they got a good picture but thats not the only picture they got a picture of Ms. Jenson holding hands with the other girl. Turns out to be that Ms. Jenson is lesbian but no one knew that. Some how other people got to see the picture not just Lance and his friends. Ms. Jenson found out of the picture and had to leave the school. Lance sent her an apology letter with the negative of the picture they took because he felt really bad but Ms. Lance was kinda happy she wasn't mad at him and she sent him the negative back of the picture he took.

 
Bliss at the Burger Bar
This short story is about a teenage girl name Louise Plummer. She attends Monte High School. Louise says she actually wants to do something with her life she doesn't want to end up like her older sister with 3 kids all under the age of 4 that is crazy if you ask me. Louise is a senior in high school and is night manager at her job called Burger Bar that is impressive. Not a lof of people can be a full time student and work at night because most students wouldn't even go to shool the next day because they would be to tired. Louise got in a bad habit in a real early age because of all of her family problems, she started smoking at the age of 12 i didn't even think people knew what a cigerett was at that age. She says she does it because it is relaxing and good fo her mental health which i don't think it's true because if anything it's unhealthy for your body. So let's go back to her being a night manager. Louise is a real nice manager because she gives people what they need like a job. She doesn't care how they look or what impression they give she just wants to help that person out and that is good. She gave a homless guy a job she found him lying in the middle of tow dumpsters right by the restaurant but she doesn't care about that because she knows he can do the work that needs to be done. Some costumers came to the restaurant and saw the workers and made a weird face showing that the workers were gross. Old Faithful thats what they call the homeless guy picked up some fries from the table and ate them the girls were grossed out but that is kinda gross but he can't help it he never get's to eat except when he gets out of work. The girls were going to leave him a tip but Louise came up to her and wispered in her ear "this is not a charity put your money back pay and get out" I mean it is true it's not but she shouldn't say that they are just trying to help him out. That is what this story was about a teenage girl trying to change other peoples lives.


I've Got Gloria


Scott is a pranker. He failed his math class and because he failed he can't go to his family trip to Yellowstone and i bet it sucks. Scotts math teacher that failed him is Mrs. Whitman. Mrs. Whitman lost her bulldog Gloria and posted all these missing dog posters so if anyone found him to know were or who to return it to. Scott saw these signs and called her telling her he had her dog but in order for her to get it back she has to give her money. She said fine how much because usually it says how much they would give you if you returned it on the poster. Scott said one thousand dollars that is a lot of money she started to freak out because she doesn't want anything to happen to the dog because her dog is her life. Scott just said that he would return the dog safe and sound if she gave him the money. He said ill call you later and hung up on her. She must be terrified that the dognapper will do somehthing to the dog.This was all just a prank thought Scott didn't have the dog he just wanted to get her back for failing her. Scott later on that day called Mrs. Whitman again to tell her that he really didn't gave the dog it was all just a joke but she already knew because someone had already turned in her dog. She knew it was Scott because when he pranked called her saying all this stuff he forgot to dial *67 so it wouldn't show the number, so since he didn't do that she just dialed the number and knew who it was. So if you're going to prank call someone and try to scare them make sure you dial *67 so they won't know who it is.

Last Monday when we had to stop reading because class was about to end I predicted that him and his girlfriend weren't going to last because even though they made an arangement to make it work I just have a feeling it is not going to work. I was kinda right becasuse now he is starting to think of Beth. Who's Beth?. Beth is a women that Mark is IN LOVE with he can't get her out of her mind. He has had a crush on her since 6th grade and his crush for her is never going to go away. He would use a payphone just to call her and try to call her but everytime he would she picked up he chocked and hung up he just couldn't talk to her he was too shy. Everything him and Janine do something it reminds him of her. All that I have talked about happened in between the pages 10-16.

Vote For Larry By Janet Tashjian

Vote For Larry- Janet Tashjian

The book I am reading is "Vote For Larry" by Janet Tashjian.This that I am about to write happened between the pages 1-9. Janet has a main character that is named Josh Swensen aka Larry and Mark Paulson.  He has so many names because he moved two different times and didn't want anyone to know about his past. As Mark has of right now his name is Mark Paulson. Mark meet a girl named Janine and he is really into this girl and took her out on a date. Every monday Janine does not say a work and stays silent all day because she combat the barrage of words that assult women each day. She has never talked on a Monday for 5 years that is crazy. They have been going out for a while so they dicide to live together. He like everything about her everything but just one thing that she was absest with shopping. He hates to shop not becasue he hates shopping he just thinks their is no point to buy stuff they don't need he is a non \-materialistic. Clink on the link and ill show you what a non-materialistic person is.... This was such a big issue that it broke them up twice but everytime he left the apartment he would have to come back because he was just so into her he couldn't leave her. They just had to come to an agreement to be together and they decided that he would go shopping with her but he will not buy anything. He thought it was going to be really easy to go but not buy anything but it's not at all he was really tempted to buy stuff till he finally did. He started buying jeans shirts and all this clothes. One day they were at home and he just seemed really upset and Janine asked him what was wrong and he said everything. He says he doesn't feel the same anymore that wearing abercrombie and fitch wasn't him and he didn't like his change. I am going to have to agree with him when he was a non-materialistic becasue if you don't need anything why would you buy it thier is no point, but it is hard to go and not buy anything. I would always get maad well not mad but frustrated with my younger brother because he buys so many clothes after he had just boughten something that's dumb fo him their is never enough clother he always has to buy more.I would never buy clothes and if I did it would be cause i was going somewhere fancy and i really needed it but now that iI have money i actually do start to buy clothes and their is actually nothing wrong with that.
