What is 'The Crossover'?]]> 2018-10-10 23:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291509615 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291510912 Oh. Well 'The Crossover' is a book about two brothers who are basketball fanatics. Their father was a professional baller and inspires them to be great like he was. Josh and Jordan (the two brothers) begin to drift apart when Jordan gets a girlfriend. And then . . .]]> 2018-10-11 00:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291510912 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291511432 Wait! Shut up! Isn't this report supposed to be about connections or something like that?]]> 2018-10-11 00:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291511432 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291512745 Yeah, fine ok, so I guess . . .]]> 2018-10-11 00:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291512745 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291512915 Stop! You dummy! First you have to define what a connection is. (Stupid.)]]> 2018-10-11 00:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291512915 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291515709 Ok, ok, ok get off my back-MOM! All right, a connection is some kind of tie or relationship between two or more beings. They can be physical or blood or spiritual. Connections can be positive or negative. An example of a positive connection could be a mother and her son. She is connected to him and has a tie to him. An example of a negative connection could be a bully and a 'nobody'; the bully harms and overall sends 'bad vibes' out to the 'nobody' and I can imagine the 'nobody' doesn't act all buddy-buddy either. Is that better?]]> 2018-10-11 00:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291515709 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291516529 Proceed.]]> 2018-10-11 00:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291516529 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291519350 Ok. Good. Well obviously the twins Josh and Jordan have an extremely strong positive connection from the start. But soon, Jordan falls for a girl and shatters their connection. Josh becomes extremely jealous, not of Jordan, but of his girlfriend. He's upset because he never gets to spend time with his bro anymore. His anger gets out of hand when Josh unconsciously breaks Jordan's nose. This action totally obliterates whatever relationship they used to have. Jordan gives Josh the silent treatment, which is a one-way negative connection. How was that?]]> 2018-10-11 00:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291519350 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291519997 Oh yeah that was great. NOT!]]> 2018-10-11 00:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291519997 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291522903 I hate you. Anywho, Josh also has a strong tie with his dad Chuck 'Da Man' Bell. Josh has idolized him for his entire life and even wishes to follow in his father's footsteps. When Josh finds out his dad is sick, he practically acts like he is already dead, he first approaches the situation with anger and sorrow. He then realizes he needs to cherish his remaining days with his father. They deepen their connection when they realize he doesn't have much time left. ]]> 2018-10-11 01:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291522903 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291525373 In addition, Josh has a negative connection with Jordan's girlfriend (nickname: Sweet Tea) Sweet Tea takes up all of Jordan's time and attention that the twins never spend time with each other anymore. This later develops into a positive connection once S.T finds out how Josh feels. She sympathizes with Josh and lets the brothers bond again.]]> 2018-10-11 01:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291525373 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291525498 Well, I did it.]]> 2018-10-11 01:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291525498 20tephrem https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/291525940 Huh, what I'm sorry I fell asleep because that was so UTTERLY TERRIBLE!

I have seen worse. I mean last year someone did a report on "Johnny Tremain". Oh God, the memories. (shudder) So I might consider reading "The Crossover".]]> 2018-10-26 17:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/pegjzkux5gnu/wish/297499101
