Why is Sophie so mean to Cap? Do you think that Zach and his Crew that are helping him be mean to Cap get Caught sometime? I think that Zach is popular in a bad way not in a good way and he wants to stay popular. I think he is popular in a bad way because he is the one who take the "L" of the Claverage Middle School to make it C Average Middle School which is taking school property. Plus he is mean to Cap and before Cap was there he probably was mean to the biggest dork then. I don't think anybody wants to step up and say that he is really mean and that he should stop  because then that person would probably be his next victim that he picks on. I think that he is being really mean to Cap to make him the president of the school when it is only his first few weeks at the school and he hardly knows where everything is. I think he is going really low when he makes a fake secret admirer that likes him and steals his shoes.I just keep thinking that Rain is going to get better soon and he won't have to go to this school anymore and he can go home.

I agree with you Emily because i don't understand why Naomi likes him when he is so mean. I don't think that Lena is that much of a main Character because Naomi pushes her out of the picture so she can get Zach to like her and we don't get to hear Lena's point of view about what is happening. I was quite surprised when Naomi went outside to help Cap bury the dead bird  that SHE put in his locker. I don't think her full mind agreed with her when she did that like in the play we watched "The Invisible Girl" because the main character in the play put her hand up to nominate someone even if her full mind didn't want to do that her body did it because it was right. I get from the text that Naomi's full mind wasn't with having a funeral with Cap because the book says "I caught a disapproving look from Zach on the other side of the window, and silently cursed myself for making a mistake Lena never would have made. Yet it seemed so RIGHT, and I couldn't be sorry for that." That made me happy because Naomi finally stepped out of her shell and did the right thing.

I think that pages 41 and 42 say a lot about Caps character because he shows him finding the dead bird then burying it. To me that says that he cares about nature and that he is a very kind person. It also kind of says to me that he thinks that nobody deserves to die and that is they do they should have somewhere to R.I.P.. You can also tell a little bit about Caps character on page 48 when Sophie pours a bucket of water on his head when he was outside on the lawn because instead od screaming at her and hitting her or something he smiled at her. This shows that he thinks that violence is not the answer.

 I don't know why Sophie is so mean to Cap. It might be because she doesn't want some stranger to randomly come and live in her house but she should still give him a chance. I also think that she should stop taking everything that he does so personally. When I heard that her parents were just divorced and that she was sad about it I felt sorry for her because i have gone through that to and I kind of forgave her for being so mean but then I thought that she shouldn't take all her anger out on Cap.

 Cap has some really great Quotes that I think have great messages some of them are "When you are unkind to others, it is usually because you don't believe that you, yourself deserve kindness." or " I guess when you have a lot of people in your life, there is more of a chance that someone will let you down."

Interesting Fact: something that I noticed when reading the book is that at every new chapter the peace sign on the page is in a different place every time.-Sarah W
