What I am reading makes sense because the author did a good job writing this book.

I also use basketball when I need to get away. ]]> 2019-08-09 22:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2054371/q48kpv8oo4qd/wish/373934963 2054371 https://padlet.com/2054371/q48kpv8oo4qd/wish/373935107 The conclusions that I am drawing from reading this book are that Jonas has a crazy life and doesn't know how to deal with it right now.  ]]> 2019-08-09 22:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/2054371/q48kpv8oo4qd/wish/373935107 2054371 https://padlet.com/2054371/q48kpv8oo4qd/wish/374444252 The passage that creates the best image in my head is the fighting scene between Rachel and Jonas.  The author used very descriptive words to create the scene.

Jonas gave up his college scholarship to stop Coach Hartwell from hurting more people. (275)]]> 2019-08-21 05:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2054371/q48kpv8oo4qd/wish/375923213
