Gracefully Grayson: Final Thoughts

My final thoughts about the book "Gracefully Grayson" is that the book ended with wanting you to read more. I am not sure if there is another part 2 of this book, but if there is, I would like to read it. This book was about a boy not feeling comfortable in his body; he is truly a girl inside, but has a boy body. She identifies as transgender. Nobody in her school knows about his secret. Later on she auditions for a girl part in the school play, and everyone is shocked. In the book it said, " Congradulations on the audition!"  he eventually makes the part and when the day to perform comes, something bad happens. To find out, you would have to read it for yourself...

Rules: Final Thoughts

The book "Rules" is about a 12 year old girl named Catherine. She has a brother named David and he has autism. She tells him rules to follow, for example, "Leave your pants on unless mom tells you to." She is afraid to go out in public with him because of the way he acts. But when she meets a boy at David's speech therapy, everything changes. Catherine wonders, what is normal?

I liked this book because it tells the reader that everyone is different in their own way. We should not judge people by the way they look, but the way that they treat you.

Gracefully Grayson Predictions

I think that once Grayson's play starts and everyone sees him as a girl , they will be shocked and schoolmates might be mean. I think that they will be mean because they made fun of him when he put a skirt on. Not only will it make it harder for him, but he also might transfer schools because of the bullying that could happen. 

Quarter 2 Goals

Some of my quarter 2 goals include: talking less in class  and getting in trouble less. I would like to start to get into the habit of talking less because it is the reason i get in trouble. Not only does it get me in trouble, but it also gets me off task of my work. I would like to stop getting in trouble all the time because this causes an effect of detentions and calls home.
