Question 1: I think Paul sees thing from a different point of view than his parents.Paul can see all the bad things that Erik does. For example how he saw Erik sneaking out at night. Or the fact that Erik was trying to kill him. Since Paul is blind (w/o his glasses), he has a good sense of hearing. So Paul hears things that his parents don't. Unlike his parents Paul can see all the bad things about Erik, Paul is not bias. I also think that Mr. and Mrs. Fisher are getting senses that Erik is bad. Although, I dont think they want to believe that Erik is bad.- Quince ** Paul may be legally blinde but he can see things that his parents can’t about his older brother. He can see that Erik was trying to kill him which his parents did not believe in any way shape or form. He also saw that perfect football star Erik was sneaking out at night with his friends and his parents didn’t hear a sound. This all proofs that Paul’s brother isn’t not as good as his parents see him to be. I think that Paul being able to hear better is a great thing to say! I hope Erik gets caught! I agree they think he is an angel! ** I agree that Erik is not as perfect as he seems. I think your right that Paul can hear very well. When I first read that Paul was kicked off, I thought that this was horrible. Its very unfair. He should definitely fight the system. Even though he may be legally blind, from what I read he sounds like an awesome player! I agree and disagree with Mrs. Fisher about the “lightening problem”. I think it was rude to just go on with everything as if Mike Costello is alive. You can’t just expect tons of players to change their schedule. I think the lightening is definitely a problem, but it’s hard to avoid it. I think they should give it a try though. - Quince :)

** I agree that it is horrible that Paul got kicked off the team! You are right it is rude to keep playing as if Mike is still alive, give him some respect! I think that even though Paul is considered blind without his glasses, he is fine with them so he should be able to play! I think he should fight a little but not too much because then if the coach changes his mind he will have a better chance of getting on the bus. If he fought t really hard he would probably just start to get the coach angry. I think the lightening problem is really important to fix because it is not “normal” to have a student death at practice. I think a way to fix it would be to make them go inside whenever there is thunder or lightening but even better to have practice at 6:30 in the morning like Paul’s mom suggested. ** I think what you said about moving practice to 6:30 a.m. is reasonable. I think it’s a solution that will benefit everybody. If I were the principal at Lake Windsor Downs, I would be in a bad situation. As stated in the book the 625 classes to relocate. That’s a lot! I think I would start by arranging a meeting and inviting all of of the Lake Windsor students as well as the parents. When I do this I would assure them that from now on we will put 100% effort into fixing this mess. Although, it definitely won’t be that easy. I know I can’t cancel classes, so I think the best thing to do (as principal) would be to find a way to relocate. I think we would have to set up a kind of “temporary school”. As you can see the principal has a lot of work ahead of him. I wonder what he/she will do about this situation -Quince :D

==GREETINGS, SPECIAL AGENTS. SCHMORLANDO HERE. YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB DISCUSSING THE ISSUES IN THE NOVEL WITH EACH OTHER. ONE QUESTION—WHY DON'T YOU TINK PAUL FOUGHT HARDER TO STAY ON THE TEAM, ESPECIALLSY SINCE HE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN 'ON THE BUS'? GOT TO GO. I’M CATCHING A RED EYE BACK TO L.A. FOR MY LATEST MOVIE, I MEAN, JOB…==

Hi, Quince! Wow I agree 625 classes to relocate is a TON! A meeting is a great idea! If I was principal I would probably stop classes for a week or two to be able to have time to maybe fill in the sink hole but most likely it will not be fixable or at least for a while. I would probably then have all the teachers combined classes and just have larger classes. Some classes that have an extra large amount of students could use the High School gym like a giant classroom. Even though that would be a lot of students in one class it would be only until there is an alternate place to have school. It would be a really big problem if I was really principal! Schmorlando! - I think that the reason Paul didn’t fight back is because he acts like he doesn’t like confrontation so that would stop him from fighting back. Also if he got on the team the coach might place restrictions on him because of his eyes. --Apricot =)  Hey Apricot,  I agree that stopping classes for a while is a good idea. I think its the safest thing for everyone. If the portables are rebuilt at Lake Windsor Middle School, Paul would be upset. I think he is getting the hang of things at Tangerine Middle School. Paul is also doing way better on this soccer team that at LW Middle School. He is also making new friends. I think Paul will fight to stay at Tangerine and to keep on playing. I also predict that Paul will do very well on the team. I predict that until the soccer season ends he will be at Tangerine. I wonder what will happen with Erik, because it looks like Erik hasn't done anything yet.

Schmorlando- I agree with what Apricot said. He seems like he doesn't like confrontation.

- Quince :D Hello Quince! I totally agree that if the portables are rebuilt Paul will be upset. He really loves soccer at Lake Winsor Middle. Joey on the other hand will leave in a second. The only thing I think that would keep Paul from switch back would be if the soccer season is not over. I still think that he likes the old school better so after the soccer season he will go back. The people said it would probably be at least three months before three portables were fixed which is enough time for the soccer season. I also predict that something will happen to Sandra so Paul will be the starter goalie. --Apricot J  Hi Apricot, I think that your prediction might come true especially since Paul had to go in for Shandra during the game. I was wondering if you wanted to describe the two soccer players or just a middle school student in general. I think it would be easier to do a LW student vs. TMS student. If we did do that we should definitely contrast the way kids act and how they handle situations. We could also include some stuff about how the soccer teams are so different. I think we should also talk about how their families are so different and the way they live life. Which one do you think we should do? Is there anything else we should include? J

Hi Quince! You have Great ideas! I think it would be easier to do a soccer player because it says a lot about soccer in the book and we could also contrast the way kids act and how they handle situations like you said with that. Do you think we should do a real character in the book like Joey and Paul or a made-up character like Sally and Sue (just saying random names)? I think to contrast about families it would be easier to do real people but it is up to you. We could also use how the school is run, the differences between the two school systems, if you want. That is all I can think of I think you did a good job covering everything. J  --Apricot :o)    Hey Apricot,  I think you have cool ideas!! I agree that we should do a soccer player. I think we should do Joey and Paul(it might be easier). We should definetly contrast families. The difference between the school systems would also be good to have.  I really like you ideas! :) Hey! I agree(my color isn't working!)!!!THis is the chart thingey... I added some...

Football Mars's glasses Lies || Hi, Apricot The chart is above and I added a few things... = GREETINGS, SPECIAL AGENTS. IT'S YOUR FAVORITE LANGUAGE ARTS SECRETARY. YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB DISCUSSING YOUR IDEAS FOR THE POEM. I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF INCLUDING LIFE BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. YOU ARE OFF TO A GREAT START. I MUST GO NOW. I'VE GOT A MEETING WITH MY AGENT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK-- SCHMORLANDO = Hey, I am confused… are we doing Paul or Tino for the second column? On the first column ift makes sence for Victor but on the second it is going back and forth between between Paul and Tino. What I added on is for paul but it can be changed to Tino... I labeled what was who for the right column... So who do you want it to be? Thanks!! Apricot :)

Hey Apricot, Sorry, I didnt mean to confuse you. I think we should just continue doing Paul. I think you just labeled them wrong Paul is voice 1 and Victor is voice 2.The reason Paul would be voice 1 is because he is primarily a Lake Windsor person. I really like what you added. Mrs.Myers said we need 20 lines total and we have about 11. I added around 6. Quince :D Howdy!! That works i am going to color the words and add some lines!! :) You might want to number the lines so that we know what order to say them i tried but ran out of time...  Ta ta for now! :) Apricot :)(I couldn't find my color)
