Hi! My name is Fred. I am a great white shark. Many fish are scared of me, and I don’t understand why because I only have a whole lot of sharp pointy teeth that’s all. Oh and maybe because I may have eaten one too many of their friends or family. I mean just one too many, that’s nothing to get upset over. Now if I ate every fish except for one or two, then that is something to get upset over. One day I swam up to them and just said, “Hi guys!” and they all scattered everywhere and they hide from me. I then right there and then I smelled the sweet smell of blood. I swam around like a crazy shark, even though I am a crazy shark, I found a fish and ate it! Oh and that is another reason why the could be scared of me. I then the next day asked my best friend Bob, the lemon shark, if he could convince the other fish to be my friend because I am soooooo lonely!
Maniac Magee-literature circle
Maniac Magee
Bryce: italics Janae: regular
I think Maniac Magee is a adventurous. Because he run on the railroad tracks. He gets beat up by other kids and does not care. But the thing that is scary to me is that he sleep with cockroaches and rats in the dump, kind of weird is it not or am I wrong. He is the most adventurous. He is also really funny because….. He hit a frog the new bunt the frog bunt from Maniac Magee. But he Is a very nice person because he tries to put the book back together because Mars Bar took it from him and ripped the pageout. But Amanda did not care because he beat Mars Bar up and the high school kids were laughing because Mars Bar got beat up by a girl i don’t think it is funny because i got beat up by girls all ready and it is not fun. which sucks and everyone is watching. Wish that did not happen.HAHAHA.
I think Maniac Magee is brave and outgoing. Maniac Magee is also pretty fast and he must be fit in order to run that much. If Maniac Magee was my friend I would want him to help teach me how to play baseball, because he is awesome at it. I think that Amanda laughed so hard when Jeffrey (Maniac) asked her if she was running away because she probably never heard of someone that is running away before. Another reason that she was laughing so hard is that she did not know Jeffrey and it was kind of weird of him to ask a stranger. I mean I would have laught too. I think that Jeffrey was puzzled by Amanda’s reaction because he really thought she was running away, I know that because he was not laughing himself and he did not say he was joking. I also think that Jeffrey was surprised by Amanda’s reaction because she had a suitcase and everything, including books, so maybe that’s why he thought that she was running away, or he could have thought that she just loved books and she did not want to run away without them.
We both thought that he was cool and awesome. We thought he was awesome because someone stood up to Mars Bar and John Mcnab. We thought he was cool because he kept his promise to Amanda about the book. He also he was cool because he bunted a frog. We think he would be a good friend because he helps Amanda fix her book when it got ripped out by that dumb Mars Bar he is so mean. We also thought Maniac Magee would be a good friend because he even stood up for himself when Mars Bar was being mean to him. We think that Amanda laughed so hard because she never heard someone of doing that before. We think that Maniac Magee was puzzled because he would have never thought someone would run to school with a suitcase full of books.
