In the book saving mr terupt I disagree that peter does all the wrong things because even though he does the way it sounds like "he does all he wrong things at the wrong times" sounds a little dramastic and he is not a total trouble maker and I belive that the reason he does things at the wrong times is because he loves his freinds so much "the gang" that he trys to make it so that they think he is helping. Also peter is going through times with mr terupt is going through hard times and since he has passion for mr terupt he is trying his best to help mr terupt and he is doing that by also trying to keep the gang going after the closet game wich kind of disconbobulated the group and in the closet to danielle I think peter even though it was the wrong time he had the right intentions and that is kind of how peter works,he says things at the wrong time but he has good intentions so I wonder if peter will change at the end of the book because after all he is going through alot and that sometimes changes people like for example Lexie. Also when peter stands up for Luke at the everything fair it shows how his personality is changing definetly but slowly. I wonder if Mr Terupt and Mrs Terupt are still hiding something even if we know she is having a baby because Mr Terupt is getting to become a very annoying person with child birth and marrige.

I think that in the book Saving Mr. Terupt, the gang gets back together to save their favorite teacher. Mr. Terupt is important to the story. As soon as Jessica found out that Lexie's mom is going through cancer, the group forgave Lexie a little bit for her actions, understanding that she was going through a lot too. But bad things end with good things, and Lexie gets a puppy that she names Margo. Margo then has her own little cause-and-effect relationship. That is when she pees on Peter in the car, which causes the entire gang to laugh which brings them a little bit closer. Now, over the course of the everything fair, the gang has come together on one last campaign-Saving Mr. Terupt. I think that the everything fair brought everyone closer. The pair that it brought closer the most is Jeffrey and Anna. The scene which they come together is when Jeffrey helps Anna "cut her beautiful name" out of the wood block. I am making an inference that I think the gang will do everything they can to save Mr. Terupt from "the chopping block". I think that "the chopping block" (text quote) symbolizes when   Jeffrey cuts Anna's name out of the wood block. This shows that it will take the gang getting back together to save Mr. Terupt.

One part in our book that really stood out to me is when Luke says that he finally has a reason to like school. This part was after the party and Luke did not want to see anyone else. I think that this part is more than just Luke being mad. I think that it is sort of like cause and effect. Luke was already sort of mad at the rest of the group because of the whole elections and having to go against each other. I think that it means that Luke is not the type of person that wants to be competitive with people and friends. From what I have read in the book so far, I think that Luke is a more introverted character then some of the other characters.

In the book saving mr terupt I think that the theme is to hold onto people you love in hard times because it is mentioned by Mr terupt a few times. or example to jessica Mr Terupt says to her that you should hold onto her freinds in ''these'' hard times and this made me also react to my earlier jot about Mr Terupt holding something away because even if the kids have a few hard times the book is not fully about hard times but I am suspicous of Mr Terupt.

I agree with Natalie. I think that everything is a little bit of a cause-and-effect relationship. The gang forgives Lexie for her actions and the gang gets closer together.

In the book saving Mr Terupt Lexies mom is going through alot and it is effecting the way lexie is now acting like what you , natalie were saying about the big cause and effect like before lexie was more of a show of and wants to be popular but once Lexie started to go through the problem with her mom,cause, and the effect was that it changed the way she acted and what she said and also the party also was anouther cause to go with that to like when lexie got up to do her speach for president she wanted to be for so long she threw it away calmly. I think this gives us alot about Lexie

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Natalie and katherine because even thought peter can be really weird at times I think that he has good intentions deep down inside because peter worked so hard on trying to become presedent he found out that he was not going to be good for the job and gave it away respectfully also when peter was in the closet I think he gave away his deep down nice guy personality but it was the wrong moment. I think that at the end of the year something will happen that will pop the cork on peters feelings and I also predict that it will be something sad

One part that stood out to me was when Lexie gives Jessica her invitation to the retreat. I think that it shows that Lexie is not just a person who wants to win. I think that it shows that when Lexie has someone she cares about she will do anything to help them. An example of this is with her mother. Lexie's mom is going through a lot and Lexie is doing all that she can to help her get through it. She is staying to help even if she has other things to do. I think that another good example of this is with Jessica. Jessica's mom hides her invitation so Jessica and Alexia didn't know that she got one. But because the girls didn't know that Jessica got one Lexie gave hers to her. I think that this shows that Lexie cares. I also Think that it shows a theme in our book, Sving Mr. Terupt. The theme that I think it shows is, If you care about people in your life, do anything to help them. The last couple of parts about Lexie hve shown that she lives by this theme. Whether she was helping her mom or trying to get the group back together, she has lived by this theme. Also, I think that the rest of the group lives by this theme as well. Even though they do not show it as much I can tell that they do.

I was shocked when I read the book saving Mr Terupt last night because you would think that for the election results the author would help them out with making them win and feel like there hard work meant something but the opposite happened, instead the gang got defeated because of the election results. After reading this part over I saw that there was a part that talked about the "magic 8 ball" and I wonder if the author put that there to give a prediction to his readers, also I think it leads to a later theme witch is: Sometimes things done't always turn out the way You want them to,and I think that this actaully as I red on turned out to be a good thing because it helped all the students change AND helped them solve there own problems.

In our book, Saving Mr. Terupt I think that the character that has the most power is Lexie. A good example of this is the elections. She is always talking about how she is going to win and be the president. But she doesn’t realize that being in power doesn’t mean that she is the best. But also her being in power over everyone else is making them fall apart. After her “Game” the group started to fall apart because they were mad at the others.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I think that you (Leo) are right-we need to see what Mr. Terupt’s feelings are. We should write a letter to the author

# data[].attributes.body
I think that because Lexie's mom is going through cancer and that also means that Lexie is going through a lot to. When Jessica finds out about Lexie's mom she forgives her. I think that because there are hard times going on, the old group is forgiving each other and getting back together. I also think that Mr. Terupt had a big role to play in the group getting back together. Since the group all has a really strong relationship  with Mr. Terupt, with him they can fix the break. The everything fair, I think was a good idea to save the teachers and help fix the groups relationship with each other.

I agree with you natalie about the cause and effect each charecter gets a cause and effect and I think that was Lexies cause and effect. Also even thought mr terupt does not have the parts in the book to have a chapter for him I wonder what he would be saying to us the readers, because we olnly hear from him in dialouge and I want to know what his deep down feelings are!!

# data[].attributes.body
In our book, I think that another theme is if you have people you love in your life, don't throw them away. I think that a good example is Lexie. She is sort of in power over everyone else, but she doesn't realize it. Also the comments that she made to Peter about him not standing a chance in the Elections is also a good example.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Saving Mr. Terupt, I think that Peter always does things at the wrong time. For example, Peter teased Lexie about “Mount Everest” and that was the last comment she needed to go to the girls’ bathroom and cry. Also, Peter hugs Danielle in the closet, but again at the wrong time. The closet doors slide open, and the friendship flies out the window.

# data[].attributes.body
In our book, I think that another cause-and-effect relationship has been discovered-Cause: Lexie’s party. Effect: the gang splitting up and them not talking to each other. I believe that the rest of the gang knows it’s Lexie that caused this so they don’t talk to her either. Peter was going to change that, but he saw “Lexie flirting with Zack”

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Katherine that Peter has another side to him. He tries to comfort Danielle in the closet but unfortunately at the wrong time.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Saving Mr. Terupt, I think that Peter is a trouble maker, but also cares about others. I think that a good example is when he talks to Danielle in the closet. Danielle doesn't like it and is scared, but Peter tries to comfort her. I think that this is showing that Peter is not just a trouble maker.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the book Saving Mr.  Terupt, all the characters have very different personalities. For example, Alexia or Lexie is very outgoing and extroverted. While Peter is more of a trouble maker. I think that all the characters in the group are different and have different thoughts on different matters. I think that an example of that is the party that they had at Peters house is showing how different they are.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the book Saving Mr. Terupt, the ‘Gang’ has been together so long that their friendship is starting to falter. I am growing the idea that the more attached you are to someone, the more they can hurt you. This idea is shown in the book when Zack bullies Luke-it doesn’t bother him that much. But when others in ‘The Gang’ tease him it does get to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Leo. I think that in the book the characters personalities affect friendships. For example, when Lexie plays the game at Peters house it affected everybody. Jeffery already didn't like how Lexie was acting, so when he got to in the closet it wasn't good. I think that Lexie's personality affects every one. When she takes the girls into Victoria Secret, they didn't want to go but she made them. I think that Lexie wants people to do things her way.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the book Saving mr terupt I feel that mr Terupt and ms terupt are holding something away from all the kids because the author keeps on making mr terupt talk funny and seem lost of words ad we the readers are hearing alot about strange movements by him. I predict that In the end of the book something will be revealed and some feelings will be gone over.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book saving mr terupt, there is a large cause-and-effect relationship. The cause is Mr. Terupt, and the effect is "The Gang" coming together. Minor cause and effect relationships come off of that large relationship like cause: the elections, effect: a fight between Peter and lexie

# data[].attributes.body
In saving mr terupt last night I thought about the characters personalitys and if it affected how many freindships and what freinds they had and To give an Example Alexia befriends alot of the kids and befriends alot of the girls and that makes sence because she likes to be popular
