1. Put yourself in place of one of the boys who escaped the crash but was forced to watch "helplessly as Rob died." What is going through your head? How do you feel physically and mentally? How do you think that you will feel tomorrow?

What would be going through my heaqd i would think of what to do how to do it and if i realized i couldn't do it I would be devestated.The next day i would feel bad about myself also I would feel somber.

2. In his homework assigment, Gerald writes that he would rid the world of 3 things. What 3 things would you rid the world of? Stick to concrete items, and back up your choices with personal reasons why you are eliminating them.

I would get rid of alcohol,country music,and nuculer missles,Because alcohol never really helped much mabey they could just use it for medicinal puposes but that should be all it kills hundreds of people everyday,country music because it's so anoying I hate the tune the sound the peoples voice I hate everthing about it,and nuclear missles are not good for anything except killing alot of people most of them innocent civillians.

3. Andy mentions that some kids at school haven't looked him in the face since the acident;one even taped a mean note to is locker. How would you treat Andy now? Elaborate.

I would treat him about the same because the crash was some his fault but mostly the fault of whoever got them the alcohol and it would be alot of the one boy who wasn't drinkings fault because he could have been driving.

4. Andy and Rob have their own slang and manner of speaking. On the surface they seem to be putting each other down, but it is clear to us that they are close friends who respect each other. What purpose does this style of language serve? Does it draw you closer together? Does it set you off from others? Explain.

The purpose of speaking like this is to cause a laugh with the two of them it brings theem closer together by doing this.It can draw people closer together just because they are laughing and having a good time than being bored and having a bad time.It could because alot of people have their own manner of speaking with others.

5.Does doing homework help you to perform better on tests? Does homework seem purposeful to you, or is it basically a waste of time? What alternate do you suggest? Defend your answer

I think homework is a waste of time because you work in class sometimes study in class and at home,plus all the homework you could get in a day would make you forget about alot of other stuff you have to remember on that test example:you work all class period on this certain subject and the last five minuets you learn something new and have to do homework on it so you do the homework on it and have a test on the previous subject and all you can remember is thework from the last nights homework.

6.Neither of Andy's parents bother to show up for the game. How important is it for you that your parents turn out for the events in which you participate? Explain.

I don't care that much because their couldd be problems with the car or they could be doing something important or they could be working mabey they could evan just of been leaving their job to come see the game and just were too late for it that is why it does not bother me that much.
