Something unexpected that happened’s is that Antsy’s wishes  it was his ant who was in the O.R instead of his dad. I agree with Antsy’s mom. Some things just can’t be said out loud.

Something that is peculiar is that Antsy’s dad just randomly kneel over and stop talking.

Something that is scary is the fact that Gunnar’s dad would bet enough money on cards to lose his house and car.

Something interesting is that Gunnar spoiled the surprise of Kjersten’s gift to Antsy because I never thought that Gunnar would interfere with their relationship.

Antsy comes home to see mom cleaning the house instead of at the restaurant with dad. She tells him that aunt Mona is coming. Everyone in the family doesn’t like aunt Mona. She brings them down and is a rich perfume seller. She gets perfumes from different countries that Antsy thinks are fake for how weird the name is.

The principal calls down antsy and congratulates him for making the time contracts and wants one of his own and for the front office. Antsy is overwhelmed because he thought he was being called down for something bad. And the principal told him to go on the announcements and ask other people if they want to give some of their life to Gunnar. And almost the whole school asked him. So antsy now has over a dozen contracts to make.

Kjersten agreed to go on a date with antsy! I think this is very important to antsy because this is the girl of his dreams! Will it be the same way it was with Lexi and they break up but still talk to each other? Or will they be with each other forever?

Obviously one very important part in the book is when skaterdud is willing to give a year of his life! And all antsy has to do is do his geography homework! Skaterdud has only showed up in the book so many times but I do think that he will play a huge character at the end of the story. Especially because he gave one year of his life. Also the skate park being closed has come up multiple times when skaterdud is shown, so maybe he’ll get caught or hurt at the skate park.

In the book Antsy gave Gunnar 1 month of his life. So on page 47 when Antsy is getting a textbook Kjersten, the sister of Gunnar, was crying. She was also saying Antsy’s name. Antsy thought she was going to slap him but she did the exact opposite. SHE KISSED ANTSY!! She did that because she thought he was being thoughtful, which he is. But I’m sitting here reading the book, and when that happened I was in shock. Like what happened to Lexie? We’re just going to gloss over the fact that Lexie and Antsy were dating?

In Antsy Does Time, Antsy demotes 1 month of his life to Gunnar. Either this means, he’s somehow literally going to give 1 month of his life to Gunnar, or he’s going to spend 1 month hanging out with Gunnar.

In the book Antsy Does Time, Antsy goes to Gunnar’s house. Gunnar is in the backyard sculpting something. Then when Antsy sees what Gunnar’s making, “Gunnar was carving his own tombstone”. “Gunnar...that’s just... wrong” says Antsy. In this part it’s pretty dark yet somehow funny. It’s very dark in the since of he’s making his own tombstone because he knows he’s going to die in 6th months, but it’s kind of funny because he’s not having fun in his final times, he making a tombstone.

“Gunnar shakes his head sadly as he watches the souls up above.
‘So fragile...’ he says.
‘What?’ says Howie. ‘Balloons?’
‘No human life, you idiot!’ I tell him.”
I think this moment is important as well because it also foreshadows Gunnar’s bad news.

“The guy who suddenly slips and plunges.
A singular gasp from the audience.
‘No way!’ says Ira, his eyes glued to the camera.
The guy falls. He falls forever. He doesn’t even spin his arms- it’s like he’s already accepted his fate. And suddenly I find I can’t watch it. I snap my eyes away, looking anywhere else. I never heard him hit.”
I think this is a powerful moment in the story, because it leads to how Gunnar tells them horrible news. The author did an amazing job at foreshadowing during this.

I think as the story goes on, Gunner, the Swedish kid who only has 6 months to live, will become more important to the story. I think this because if he isn’t lying and Antsy and his friends feel bad for him, then they will become better friends with him, hang out with him, go with him to hospital visits, and also try to make the six months he has the happiest he’s ever lived.
