Feb. Blog--Schooled(Continued above for lack of post space)

February Blog
Schooled
This book is important to me because it changed the way I think. I think it is brilliant the way that the author of this book a courage so sincere that it changed the life of other characters. Also the fact that it wasn't something that was hard for Capricorn, he did so much with out knowing it! He thought it was a custom that happened to everybody.
The author of this book was probably a person who loves to joke, because the book Schooled was funny enough make you stop breathing! But he also must understand the middle school mind because there are a lot of things that happen that unlike most books, I can clearly imagine. This book's time period has to be pretty darn modern, but the writer must have had experience because the main character (Capricorn,) Is based on Hippie infested 60's and 70's.
The argument that the writer was trying to make is that love and peace is always the best option and it always has the best out come of all choices. This is because Capricorn was so posed to be the laughing stock of the year, but with a few swift hippie moves, he is the star of the school.
This book connects to my own life because I am also in middle school and I am very pleased with agreeing on a lot of the characters middle school thoughts like, "The popular kids are so dumb," at least thats what it seems. A real world connection is that the story is so like any other story thats real. Of course you don't see the new hippie dude walking into your school every day but, the story is so believable because its so like a real middle school story.
It all comes down to this. Suppose you took out the fact that Rain fell out of the tree and BOOM! Hugh is president and laughing stock of the year and Capricorn stays
