I think what Griffin and Eric are BOTH missing is support from their fathers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Griffin is like a net and all his friends are fish. Griffin threatens his friends to be his friends and everyone else has no choice.

# data[].attributes.body
lots of characters in other books are like Eric for example Rob in tiger rising. (this was from rehma's idea but blown up.)

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric is like a banana because he has an outer shell that hides all hi feelings he has on the inside in it.

# data[].attributes.body
There are lots of comparisons with Griffin such as Griffin is Gru in minions and everyone else is a minion or Griffin is the president and everyone else are citizen.

# data[].attributes.body
I forgot to read so don't spoil anything.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin is a magnet and threatens people so they will have to become a bully or they will have to face his consequences. Griffin is like a
whale and everyone else is krill

# data[].attributes.body
Cody's changed from a bully to sort of a friend.

# data[].attributes.body
I now I think that the seat at the table with Griffin should be called The Reject Seat. I think that because first Eric was there then Hallenback and they both got kicked out.

# data[].attributes.body
Show how to add a picture.

# data[].attributes.body
But I think griffin is a bully because his dad beats him up all the time at home so he has learned to do that to since he was little. Well, his dad does drink a lot, and he is a retired police cop.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Griffin is very stupid an jerky and acts like he wants to be bull shrimp.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric says griffin is like a brick. He has no feelings. Instead of a brick I would compare him to a ghost.

# data[].attributes.body
lets start a conversation!

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know Griffin smokes? Maybe this is why he's a bully, MAYBE

# data[].attributes.body
I think Griffin took the bike because it says on page 165 "We'll see about that."

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe Cody will invite Eric back in.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 156 I think Cody is just trying to get this over so he can do it again and again in different places so that is why he is say oh I can't control my temper.

# data[].attributes.body
Page 153- Cody's about to get embarrassed (burned).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that now that Eric found out Griffin's after him then now his only friend is Mary.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric wants to hide his bullying but he can't.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the person who told the principle Eric had a knife was Griffin or Hallenback

# data[].attributes.body
Look on page 166 - 167. I think that's what Griffin was planning on doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric should be prepared for something bad to happen next.

# data[].attributes.body
I think something like this has happened before. Look on page 163.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone is starting to realize that Griffin is a bad person. Even the adults. An example of this is on page 162.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mr. Floyd is a very wise person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Cody is changing and gradually a group will grow and Griffin Conelly will not be a bully anymore but everyone will hate him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think on page 155 it's on of those cliche stories with a bully, victim and a teacher. What ends up happening is the bully says it won't happen again but after school, IT HAPPENS AGAIN!

# data[].attributes.body
I think after the talk with Mr.Floyd there's going to be another fight.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric and Mary are going to turn into best friends.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 149 + 150 I think Eric doesn't want his mom to get involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in chapter 23 Eric is starting to forgive his father and realize that maybe his father wasn't all that bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most important people Eric hates now are David Hallenback and Griffin

# data[].attributes.body
David has turned into a bully and he was taught by Griffin. He is acting like he still is shy but when he see's Griffin he's not afraid because he knows that Griffin not after him, he's after Eric.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin will eventually tell his gang to stop bullying David and bully Eric. Eric should be prepared!

# data[].attributes.body
On page 129 why is Eric NOT FIGHTING BACK! Why is he standing there like he's a baby. Why won't he teach the bullies a big fat lesson!

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Erik, You went a bit crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry, I overreacted.

# data[].attributes.body
In page 139-140 why isn't Eric just fighting back. Why is he just standing there?! It makes no sense, what will a teacher help? He needs to teach this blood-sucking numbsgrugs a fudging LESSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Hallenback is so STUPID! Why is he acting this way!?

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly think by how Griffin is acting, i'm surprised that Erik just does't go knock him out and teach him a lesson. I expect it to happen and book finally to become interesting, but it does't and it is infuriating.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary is a rebel, she isn't like everyone else like how they just stay blended into the crowd, she actually stands up for what SHE thinks is right, not what somebody else thinks. I predict that Mary is going to help Eric understand that you have to fight for what you think is right.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that only Eric is standing up for whats right because he is new here so he doesn't have the habit of just letting Griffin bully kids. In other words, he didn't get affected by all of the things like how they just stay blended in with the crowd and how they don't stand up for other people just because they are afraid they are going to be the next target.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hallenback is on Griffins side now and the target now is ERIC!

# data[].attributes.body
Hallenback is putting his trust in Eric. I think that is saying a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Griffin is trying to get to Eric but Eric won't let him because Eric knows that's what Griffin wants Eric to do.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 127 there's a change in Eric, he's standing up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Griffin and hallenback are friends now because in chapter 20 it says they were talking and walking side by side.

# data[].attributes.body
There is something the same about Eric and Mary. They're both bystanders. The difference is Mary actually did something about it. Eric is still sitting there doing nothing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary is actually a good person. I think this because on page 125 it says " there was no reaction on her face just a flicker in her eyes. I think that flicker is sympathy for Chantel Williams.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 120-121 Hallenback might think Eric is like Griffin and that's why Hallenback is being so rude to Eric.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin had bullied a lot of people so everyone Griffin bullied would be on Eric's side and Mary seems to not like bullying so maybe her.

# data[].attributes.body
(Rehma) Maybe but who do you think is going to join besides Hallenback.

# data[].attributes.body
I just finished the chapter and it said Griffin is a bad guy."

# data[].attributes.body
If the bullies turn against Eric he might have a group stand beside him because everyone else might not be scared anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
Rehma, I agree and that Eric doesn't want to because he's afraid Griffin and the bullies will turn against him.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin and Eric's family's are alike but they really aren't.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric is starting to realize he is a bystander an should start doing something about griffin. This is why he felt uncomfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Scofield is trying to describes his class.

# data[].attributes.body
Hallenback is the bullies training dummy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think David should understand what games the bullies want him to play but is dangerous like pretzel.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that David should stand up for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is realizing how bad Griffin actually is when he said "shut up or you will be next!" He is worried if he will be the bystander or the next victim.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is changing a little like griffin. I know because he told his first lie and it was a lie to his mom.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric's relationship with his father might be similar to Griffins relationship with his father.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is feeling a little guilty because he lied to his mom and he never did that before, but he thinks it is the right thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin listened to Eric like he understood. Maybe his dad did something familiar.

# data[].attributes.body
When David (Hallenback) is being bullied, at first all the bullies treat him like a friend but then they find a way to hurt him without him noticing. :(

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric is still trying to understand that his father broke their family and I think Eric won't except that his father walked out on them.

# data[].attributes.body
You can tell that when Eric's father left he really hurt Eric.

# data[].attributes.body
Griffin might not be so bad. He was listening to Eric like a real friend does. You could tell he was listening.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is changing little by little more like a bad person.

# data[].attributes.body
Hallenback is spying on him because he is questioning if whether to approach with caution or just carelessly walk by.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is a doubter, sort of a wimp, mushy and shy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Griffin's family is just like Eric's family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that what's caused Griffin to "Be One" with the bullies is his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Erik knows that he has to except both of his fathers "Sides" but he really is trying not to think that it's unfair that his father has a bad side, and he has to except it.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric does not approve of Griffin pretending to be charming but actually is a horrible kid.

# data[].attributes.body
(Rehma) Do you mean like he made a mistake but he can't change it?

# data[].attributes.body
Raymond I think that's a very good jot I think his friendship with the bullies will cause some people to hate him not everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric feels like he's fallen and can't get back up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Eric's friendship with the bullies with cause a few people to hate him.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe because once Hallenback used to be friends with Griffin but then he realised he was a bully, he didn't hang out with him so now Griffin bullies him.
