Summary: Scott survives his first month as a freshman in high school. He has to go out on Friday night again to review the football game. If he makes any bad comments about the quarterback Vernon or no comments at all he knows that Vernon will be looking for him so he could beat him up. Scott is trying to stay as far away from any of the football players because he can't write anything good about them because they stink. Scott doesn't understand how the football players can't realize that they are bad because they lose every game and haven't scored a touchdown in 2 years. Scott has no homework over the weekend so he is going to just take time to himself so that when he has to go back to school it won't be that overwhelming.

1. Scott Hudson the main character of my book is very different from his family. He isn't as athletic as most of his family he is more into school then he is with sports. He doesn't have that many friends but the friends he does have mean more to him then anything or anyone else. He really strives to do well in school so his parents will be proud but most of the time he gets made fun of by the seniors.
2. My favorite part in the book is when Scott joins the newspaper club because he thinks the girl he likes is working there also. He gets stuck doing the sports section and figures out the girl he likes was only there to help out a friend. So know he is stuck reviewing sports and he doesn't get anything good out of this. This is important to the story because Since Scott has to keep watching these football games to write about he gets closer to his family who are really into sports.
3. I would recommend  this book to another reader especially someone who is just starting high school or is about to start high school it can tell you about it. It can also show you good and bad decisions too make in different situations that you may find yourself in at some point.
4. It reminds me of my sister a little bit because she just started her freshman year and the summer leading up to it she was really freaked out. She was coming up with the worst possible situations in her head making everything seem bad. This also sort of happened in the book but over time my sister and Scott and his friends got used to it and it didn't seem as overwhelming.
5. I was surprised when Scott and his friends had nothing to do on a Friday so they decide to go to a football game where he knows there will be trouble. His friend Kyle got into a fight with a junior at his school and they knew he would be at the football game. Scott really didn't want to because he didn't really care for high school football and he really didn't want to get into any trouble.

Main Character: Scott- He is a very smart kid who isn't really into sports but he will watch them with his friends to fit in. He is just beginning his freshamn year of high school and he is very scared to take on this responsibility but with his friends he feels it will all be all right.
Secondary Character(s):
1. Kyle- He is the most coureagous he likes to do stuff that he knows might get them in trouble. He gets into fights with seniors even though he is a freshman just so they think he belongs and he tries to be himself but sometimes when he tries to be like other people he is choosing to be like the wrong people which get him into trouble.
2. Mitch- His friends are scared about him the most because he is always hanging around with this one girl and he doesn't really hang out with them anymore. They are worried because every since this girl showed up his grades kept dropping and they kept seeing him less and less.
POV: 1st Person
Setting: The book takes place mostly at J.P. Zenger high school. Scott, Kyle, and Mitch have dreaded coming to this school ever since they were young. They don't think they will fit in and they think they might get bullied by the older juniors and seniors just because they are new to the school. They always try to get away from the school but they are always ending up in they place they never want to be in.
Interesting Noticing: These 3 boys are terrible of facing High school it's there Freshman year and they promised to always stay together. But as I'm getting through the book I noticed that they are only drifting apart from each other and making new friends which is not what they intended to do. I can see that the friends are more focused on there school work and girls then they are with each other. I want to keep reading to see if these friends will ever have the same relationship that they used to have.

Main Character: Em (Edward Michael Goverton)  I can assume from the text that he is a teen or someone close to my age. He is going through a tough time because his father just died and him and his mother are not taking it very well and on top of that they have just been robbed. Em is taking it a little bit better then his mother and is trying to keep her as calm as possible so that they can get through this tough time.
Secondary Character(s):

1. Em's Mom she is a very nice person who cares for Em and does everything for him she is just in shock now that her husband has died and she doesn't really know what she could do to ease the pain. She is trying the best that she can to recover from her painful loss

2. Haven't found one yet
POV: It is told from the point of view of Em so that means it is a first person POV
Setting: The setting is mostly at Em's house and also in Paris where he goes on a trip to try and have fun to get his father's death off of his mind.
Interesting Noticing: I have noticed that some of the characters seem sort of suspicious like they are acting nice but they are really bad guys or villains but I haven't found it out yet

1. Who is your main character? How would you describe him/her? My main character's name is Helmuth and I think he is brave and he always wants to know the truth
2. Who are some secondary characters and why are they important to the story?
The most important secondary character is Gerhard because he influences Helmuth the most and helps him out. But they do argue sometimes because they have different opinions.
3. What is the problem or conflict of the book? The problem is that Helmuth wants to know the truth about the Nazi's but nobody will tell him and he knows Hitler is a liar because he said he would bring peace but then he started a war.
4. How is the main character trying to resolve the problem? He tried his hardest in school so that he got a good job that is high up in the government system and he can learn many secrets from those different government leaders.
5. What do you like so far about the book? AND WHY. I like how it talks about how Helmuth is being betrayed by the leader of his country because most books from this time period are mostly from the POV of a jewish person and how times were rough, but this shows a different POV where an actual German citizen isn't believing the lies that Hitler is telling everyone.
6. What don’t you like so far about the book? AND WHY I don't like that it doesn't have much action and the pace moves really slow. I don't like this because I feel that it could be more interesting if it moved faster or talked about more people then just Gerhard, Helmuth, and Hitler.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel sort of mad just like Helmuth because he is forced to right a lot of lies on how the Nazi government is the best and how the Fatherland will rule again. Helmuth is a strong person who is not being brainwashed by Hitler's trickery but he needs to lie to make his family proud even if it doesn't make himself proud.

# data[].attributes.body
It is sad knowing that your country is in war and you have nothing to do but go to school everyday. I feel sad for Helmuth because basically all of his rights are taken away and he has just lost his brother again and may never see him again.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel sad for Helmuth and his family because they just got his brother back from training and now he is going to be taken away again for months and months. He is also going into the war so there is a chance that Helmuth will never see Gerhard again. It's so sad and must be a really hard time for Helmuth right now.

# data[].attributes.body
It was shocking to me when Helmuth told Gerhard he didn't care if he locked up the radio. I was shocked because the radio was Helmuth's most valuble  thing to him  it was the thing he would always use and he cared about it so much and Hitler and his rules striped it from him.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt scared when Helmuth kept talking back to the junior Gestapo because they have a lot of power and could do bad things to him. Helmuth wasn't giving them his ID because they wanted to see it just because he was singing American songs and he kept on refusing. If it weren't for his brother he could have been in big trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
Helmuth's brother Gerhard just got back from Hitler youth training and Helmuth is so happy.  I was scared for Helmuth cause all he wanted to do was sing and listen to American songs but Gerhard was brainwashed to be a perfect nazi so Gerhard is really strong and he is trying to attack Helmuth for breaking the law.

I don't understand how everybody in Germany could be so clueless. Hitler declaring war against Poland, France, and Britain is not a way to get back at the Treaty of Versailles it is a way to start off a terrible world war and give Hitler more power. Soon even more countries will start joining this viscious war and it will be a terrible World War II.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't beleive that Helmuth is finally seeing that Hitler isn't this great leader that everybody thinks. I can't beleive it took him this long to realize that Hitler is bringing Germany closer to war everyday rather then keeping Germany away from it. I feel bad for Helmuth because they think what he is sayingis complete nonsense

# data[].attributes.body
Helmuth is not happy that is mother is marrying this man Hans. I am surprised that Helmuth did not show his true feelings about hans to his mother just because hans is going to be with him a lot. What if Helmuth is right and maybe Hans is a terrible person and it was a bad mistake that his mother married him. How are they going  to change that.

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised that Helmuth had a hard time to write a 500 word essay on why Hitler is a great leader. He is in the Hitler youth and everyone praises Hitler but I don't think Helmuth is really mature enough to understand why everyone says he is so great. Helmuth just does what he is told without really thinking about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Helmuth was just forced to join the Hitler youth even though his best friend does not like the nazis at all. Helmuth is skipping church and other activities that he usually does just to go to the Hitler youth. I am very surprised that he just didn't care what his best friend said and he ditched him to join the Hitler youth.

Hitler has just been elected Chancellor and everybody is freaking out. Some people are super happy that he was elected they say he is going to take down poverty and open up more jobs. But other people are scared because they think he is crazy and that he is going to start a war. The Hitler youth is super excited that he has been elected because they treat him like he is some sort of god

# data[].attributes.body
-What is the setting or time period

The setting is in Germany 1933 when Hitler was elected
-What does it like during that time period

-It is some people are very excited and some people are very mad that Hitler was just elected

-What are some differences to today's time period or America

-It is different then from now because there are signs on different places that say no jews allowed so they don't have freedom like they do now.
