Tolerance

Tolerance- The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinion or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

• What does tolerance mean to you? - I think that tolerance means that when other people have to stand with other people making front of them because they are and they use it just to be funny. But also I think that it means for people around that can stop them from using the word but just let them or don't care because it doesn't offend them.

The Saturday Boy #2

The book is mainly about a kid named Derek. This kids father was put in Afghanistan because he was a pilot and Derek and his father really don't see each other. So his father tries to keep close with Derek by writing letters to him. But either way Derek still gets himself in trouble with violence. He also gets bullied in school and he does some not so good things and he doesn't do the things that he use to do when he was younger.

I think that the theme of the book is that some the kids are just like not paid attention to because the book Derek's dad is in war and his mom works a lot. But also it is rough for them to because they might have other problems like in the school. Because some kids might have problems somewhere else but parents probably don't have time to do anything about it.

The Saturday Boy #1

My reflection is that I think that this boy is a normal boy but with his dad just serving in the army. I also think that he might just be struggling with a lot of things to do. Or he has no idea what to do. But i'm not to sure because i'm not into the book so much but when I read a little more I will know more.

I think that the conflict is that the Man vs. Self because the kid has to think a lot about things that is happening to him. But also I think that the kid might get through the whole thing later. But maybe he has other thing in his life that might be an obstacle for him but like I said I am not to sure because Im not into the book.

Skink No surrender #4

Well Later after they are starting their hunt to find Richards best friend and cousin because she left home to go with a friend she didn't even know. So skink is driving and trying to find clues. Basically its like a mystery. So later they talk to Malley and they hear a place that the Skink knows so in the call they realize that Malley is getting held under her own will. But on their way skink gets hurt really bad in his right leg for saving a skunk in the street and his bones are crushed.

I think that both skink and Richard are both determined and really good people. I think that because theses people are trying to save Richards cousin event thought she got herself in that problem. Also I think that skink doesn't have to do what he did and it took them a cost him a broken leg. And skink also saved a skunk.
