 * Week 1**


 * Group Leader/ John DeCotiis**

My character is interesting because he jokes about everything. Also he curses in almost every line. He is married and has three kids. Two of which are twins. I am drawn to him because he does so many hilarious things. He also uses vocabulary I can relate to. There has only been one character that has been introduced with detail. I can positively say that I enjoy him.

We talked about which job we were doing. We also talked about the book. We discussed the questions and answered them. John the group leader kept us in line and we answered his questions. Joe and Andrew made 10 questions that we answered. One question Joe and Andrew had was Why did everyone stare at Adam when he walked down the street, we discussed this question a lot. We came up on an answer that he was walking with his son, with a 12 pack. This is kind of weird. We had many other discussions too. We discussed Nicks quotes and why they were significant to the story. The book is good so far we all agreed. We all said our favorite part so far is when he walked with his child with the twelve pack.

The book made me see that society is scared of many things that they used to not be. One of them is men do not like getting dirty anymore if they get a little bit on them they flip out. Another is the way our society made toilets that look like they have eyes on them. These examples represent our society becoming out of control about things they should not get upset about.
