**Question one:** I think that what Paul means by 'things his parents can't see,' he means that his parents refuse to see the bad in Eric, even though the evidence might be right in front of them.

I think paul sees that erik isnt all good and that he did try to kill paul. Paul also sees that his dad doesn’t pay attention to him but only the Erik Fisher football dream, and paul doesn’t get any attention or affection from his dad. I think as the book goes on paul will start to see more about erik and his mysterious behaviors and friends, but I also think he will start to see his father paying more attention to him as he becomes a verry good soccor player. I AGREE WITH YOU FIG BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY KNOW ERIK ISN'T NICE TO PAUL BUT THEY DONT WANT TO BELIVE THAT HE IS BAD!!!! Hey Fig get well soon, hope you feel okay!!!!! :) :) ;) your secret accomplis, PLUM

Question Two: I think that it is very unfair that Paul isn't allowed to play soccer because it is discriminating against him for being legally blind. It's not even like he litterally can't see, he just needs his glasses. I also think that Paul's mom cares more about him not being able to play than his dad does because even though Paul's dad went to talk to the coach, he only heard the same things Paul did. Paul's dad probably would have acted differently if Erik (Eric? I can't spell) were in Paul's situation and would have found a solution right away.

== GREETINGS, SPECIAL AGENTS. SCHMORLANDO HERE. PLUM, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LAST RESPONSE? I CAN YOU PASTE IN BACK ON THE PAGE? ONE QUESTION—WHY DIDN'T PAUL FIGHT HARDER TO STAY ON THE TEAM? GOT TO GO. I’M CATCHING A RED EYE BACK TO L.A. FOR MY LATEST MOVIE, I MEAN, JOB... ==

Question 3: If I were the principal at Lake Windsor Middle School, I would send all of the seventh and eighth graders without classrooms to another Middle School in the district because it’s not like they could just fill in the hole with dirt and install new portables, or the sinkhole would eventually open up again. //And to answer the question of why Paul did not fight harder to stay on the soccer team//, he probobly felt like there was nothing that he could do to change his mind after asking him why. After he told his parents, though, I am very glad that his dad went to talk to the coach, because he at least still cares about how Paul feels, even though he has an obsession with Erik playing football. ~Fig

okay 4 the last question i didnt put an answer cause FIG wuz sick but anyway, i think that paul should totally be allowed to play soccer caus being visualy impaired doesnt mean u can't play sports and he was the best player on the team. the only reason hes not on the team anymore is cause the coach doesnt care enough to pay for extra insurence (i can't spell either) and i bet if eric was kicked off the football team dad would have been really angrey and he wouldn't give up fighting to get his favorite son back on the team. Q-3 answer- why did paul give up on trying to get back on the soccor team, i bet if his parents cared hed be back on the team by now, and how r they gonna get all those kids to different schools in time? And what about the eric fisher football dream now, it's on hold and i wonder what dads gonna do about it hes probably gonna be angrey L and then he’ll look like that frowny face. With smiles J PLUM

**Discussion Question 4: Paul seems to love his new team. What do you think is going to happen when the portables are rebuilt at Lake Windsor** Middle School and he has to return home? Paul said that he would probably be able to play for the whole season at Tangerine. I think that Tangerine Middle School will go undefeated and then Lake Winsdor will want him to be on their team because his old team would go undefeated. Just a prediction so far though.  I think that paul will end up staying at tangerinne middle school because he has friends there and he really likes it what happened with joey I mean I get that u know his brother died an all but he changed so much he used to be like paul u know. I hope he stays and I totally agree with u fig. and I think when the portables are fixed paul is still gonna stay at tangerene middle. Your homie, Plum J    I think that Paul definitley would stay @ Tangerine Middle school if he had the choice, But i remember that @ the assembly after the sinkhole, Mrs. Gates said that Tangerine Middle would take in students for the remainder of the term.

About the Poetry thing that we have to do, I'm not amazing at writing poetry, so i dont have many ideas, but if you do, please tell!

Hi Fig, I think we should talk about the differences of the life at the middle schools and talk about soccer teams, too--the uniforms, the way they play, the field conditions. We can also talk about the houses that LWMS students live in versus Tangerine kids (I was thinking of the way the Tangerine kids reacted at Paul's house after the science meeting). What do you think? Plum I don’t think that they live all that differently. The only reaction they had out of all of them was Theresa saying that Paul’s house was nice. That doesn’t mean that their houses aren’t, the Lake Windsor kids just have more money and material posessions. I think maybe we should talk about their both having undefeated seasons. ~Fig Hi Fig, I'm up for talking about the undefeated seasons too. We could do it from Gino's and Victor's point of view. What do you think? Also, I wasn't saying that the Tangerine houses weren't nice, but, like you said, they probably don't have as many possessions as the LW kids. Maybe that's why the LW kids thought they were 'ganstas'. ;) Plum

I wrote it. :) so you know the dots are only there so that the table stays the way it is, it needed something on every line I didn't have something on or it deleted the line. ~Fig

I love that it was awesome. i think that would be perfect. that was really good i like how they are both talking about the same thing only they r talking about the different teams (not good at explaining) i think that it expresses both teams feelings and what they stand for it expresses thier love fot thier team and the brotherhood of the players. it also expresses thier fellings twords each other. i still have to write one 4 an idea but i think your poem is as good as it could be i love it.
