Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:39:32 -0500

I think it was dumb to go to summer school voluntary. I would never want to go to summer school voluntary I would rather spend it playing games. I guess Gary was blind as a bat.

Gary learned songs in German class

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

I felt confused at first because it was a foreign language, so I googled what the song meant "my hat has three corners". The song was was called "My hat has three corners" in English."My hat has three corners" song in Germany is a very common nursery rhyme. This can relate to me because me a gary did not know what the song meant.

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

Is this where the book ends?

They are the victors?

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

Why would they want to fight if they don't expect to get beat up?

They have a thing for getting in trouble.

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

Why would they want to get in trouble?it crazy how the would take it up a notch and cause fights with other kids. >:D

Gary chased after Rick because he got mad.

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

Maybe gary does not know how to control his anger. lashing out like that is kinda dangerous because rick could have bled out and died.. He's crazy. < (*_*)>

Why did they not listen?

Wed, 25 May 2016 09:59:05 -0400

Because they are part of the mafia.

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 09:44:18 -0500

Why does Gary and his siblings feel that they are terrible while living on Braly street?

Tue, 10 Nov 2015 10:01:50 -0500

I really think children should never feel like there souls were turning evil, I think kids should be happy. I wonder what made them feel that way gary and his siblings? >:..O
