Randy made his mom start balling and Randy just look cool while his mother was crying. Then after Jamal told tito if he wanted to still be friends he had to go with Jamal and he did. (Zach)

Good job Zack the only thing I would do is capitiliz Tito and good choice of wording for the balling part added to it good!! -Sabrina

(Kyle) Good job Kyle but you read ahead because in the assignment pages Randy did not get stabbed.(Zachary)

Good job Zachary I really like it, it sums up it all in that chapter!! Way to go!!!~Sabrina~

It summed it up really really good. (Zach)

Yeah Kyle, I honestly don't remember reading about Randy getting stabbed. It's one thing to read ahead but it's another to spoil it for the rest of us. Next time, please don't read ahead and ruin the surprise... Other than that, you did a pretty good job of summing up what we read this week. ~Libby
