Why do you think that people do not listen to Joey?
This chapter was about Joey trying to tell his parents to tell Dwayne's parents that he has been kidnapped by these people. He wants his parents to tell Dwayne's parents because if they do not believe a teenager they can possibly believe an adult. they would most likely believe the adult than the teenager because some teenagers are not that matured so that's why they make a lot of jokes like that. But mostly they would believe a adult because they would not really play those type of horrible jokes to other adults. And that is my proof why people would believe elders. He probably feel so annoyed and mad that once they find out that he was kidnapped he would just really like to rub it in the people's face who did not believe him. I hope that happens to him so all the people could start believing teenagers.

the kidnappers RRQ
What would you predict what would happen in this problem?
What I think is going to happen is that Willie Groves might just get really tortured by the people that has kidnapped him and probably he has learned a very good lesson from all of that. If Joey gets the police to believe him he would be a hero. But I do not think that he would like a hero because it would be kind of dumb to save a person who was looking for you and trying to beat you up. If I was in his position I would not tell nobody anything because that person is stronger than me and wants to beat me up so I would just let those people take him away. I would call his parents to tell them but I would only tell them once if they believed me they would save their son and if not well to bad it can not be my fault.

Scorpions RRQ
How did the book end? would you recommend it topeople you know? why?
The book "Scorpions" was very good but at the end it was very sad. Jamal was getting beaten up by Angel and Indian they mad him bleed. until Jamal heard this loud noise. He coverd his head and then felt a body fall next to him. When he opened his eyes he saw Angel on the floor and saw Indian crawling on the floor. Tito came to help him up and it turns out that Tito shot Angel and killed him. He shot Indian too but he was just badly injured. So they went home. Then the next morning Tito had news for Jamal. Tito told Jamal that he moving to Puerto Rico. It was a really sad moment, Jamal new how hard it is to lose a best friend. So then Jamal said bye to Tito but he just went away .Jamal thought that he was mad because he shot Angel and that had changed Tito's attitude alot. Right when Jamal was going home he heard Tito and Tito came to hug him and kiss him on thecheek and went away for who knows how long.
I would recommend this book because there are alot of kids that love to read about gang books. From my opinion I think that this was the best gang book I have ever read so far.

Monkeyman letter
Dear Mr. Myers,
Me and my class has just finished reading the Monkeyman story we thought it was very awesome. Many people had different reactions to the story but in this paragraph I will tell you about my reactions. My reaction to the Monkeyman story was that I thought that Monkeyman was just being dumb. Then when he explained why he let the Tigros member named Clean beat him up it was all clear. I was never actually expecting any one in the world to do something really dumb. If I was letting him beat me up it my just prove to everyone that they are just bullies and not just bullies but murderers, because they stabbed some kid and killed him.
My favorite part was when Monkeyman called out the whole Tigros gang.That part showed me that he had the guts to call them out and he also showed that he was not scared of those guys. He was trying to show how he would not back down and not let everybody think that he is a pacifist. I really respect what Monkeyman did but know his big mouth might get him into alot of trouble.
The story made me think about that if this is what alot of other gangs go trough too. Also this was a really good story but I was wondering if there can be a kid that could stop all these bad gangs that always are robbing or hurting and even killing innocent people. One more thing that the story made me wonder was that if I was in Monkeyman's shoes I would really atleast try to block my self instead of me letting him beat me up and while I lok like a boxing toy.
Mr. Myers I hope that you have enjoyed my letter and also keep on making better and better books.
Sincerly

Scorpion RRQ
Why did Jamal's mom invite Reverend Biggs to Jamals home? She told Reverend Biggs to go to their home because they wanted him to came to pray with them for Randy. They started praying for Randy that had gotten stabbed in prison. He got stabbed by other prisoners and now is in the hospitsal. If I was in Jamals position I would be mad at Randy because if he was never born I would never had had the gun and I would not have to be worried about the Scorpions.
Scorpion pages: 135-155
Why is Jamal telling everybody that he did not take the gun at school? Why does Jamal only tell Tito? Why did Reverend Biggs come to Jamals house? Who were they praying for?Why?

My thoughts of Scorpion
What I felt about the book "Scorpions" was that is pretty good so far. I felt pretty scared about who Jamal had to lie to his mom that he was not doing or selling drugs for the Scorpions, althoughhe really was doing it. But Jamal is doing these drug selling business for money. the money is for Randy's Appeal.
If I was in his position I would also do it but as long as I have Tito next to me and praying for me. If Iwere the leader of the Scorpion gang, I would do some incredible stuff that nobody has thought. I would actually tell all the guys to leave and never comeback again. If that does not work I would try to look for a real job in a store or selling food instead of drugs. First of all Iwould have said no to the leader of the Scorpions, because there are alot more ways to make more money instead of hustling in the street. And once I have a real job Iwould pray that they would stop what they are doing. It is not good for there health and they can get into serious problems including jail.

RRQ SCORPIONS
Would I like to have a sister like Sassy? To tell you the truth I really do not want her as a sister because they are so annoying. One example that sisters are annoying is that they are always on to you and they try to get you as mad as possible. For Jamal I do not know how he deals with Sassy. If I were him I would hurt her so bad that she would learn a valuable lesson. I do not understand why can't sisters just ignore there brother's business, they have to have big mouths. It would also be a dream come true if Jamal's sister was not even born or just knew how to mind her own business and keep her little mouth shut closed. Many guys wiyh little brothers wish they have a little sister but guys that have little sisters wish that they had a little brother. That is what I would like, to have a little brother and not two annoying little sisters. I would like to have 2 brothers because then I do not have to hear my parents saying becareful. also they are boys so they must like sports and we can play ogerther Sall day. But if Sassy was in that position i would have to play like if she was one year old or something.
