Isabel Fish.

At the beginning of this reading I was really confused because she kept talking about this accident that happened but hadn't said anything in the reading. She was talking about how scared she was to take a scuba diving class and then told about the accident. If I was her I'd be just as scared to take the class. Her brothers girlfriend crashed into a pond and she almost drown. Now her parents want to take her on a spring break trip to St. Maarten, so she has to take scuba lessons. This story turned out to be a lot better then I thought and about something completely different then I expected. I would recommend it to anyone.

Junior and Penelope.

Sometimes I wonder if the only reason Penelope is talking to Junior is because she feels sorry for him. He's the only Indian in their school and maybe she just wants everyone to be in awe because she is dating someone different from everyone else or maybe she's just trying to make Rodger jealous, maybe she really likes him, but I don't see why she chose Junior. I could be completely wrong and she just may see something in Junior that no one else sees.

Privileged.

I sort of agree with the comments made by Gordy and Junior but it sort of seems like they're being racist, but it's somewhat understandable. 'Well, this article said that over two hundred Mexican girls have disappeared in the last three years in that same part of the country. And nobody says much about that. And that's racist. the guy who wrote the article says people care more about beautiful white girls than they do about everybody else on the planet. White girls are privileged. They're damsels in distress.' that's what Gordy said in the book. But if you think about it, why would we here in America hear about a missing person in Mexico? White parents may have more money then other parents so they're able to get the publicity and able to give out a reward to whoever finds their child whereas a parent in Mexico or someone of another race that may not have quite as much money wouldn't be able to provide a reward, but not all white parents would be able to either.

PC vs MAC

I love how even in this book they say something about how Mac's are supposedly so much better then PC's. It just reminds me of the commercials about Mac's and PC's. I actually prefer PC's over Mac's, Mac's are too complicated and PC's are much simpler and I know how to get to stuff on them. It just sort of made me laugh that they would bring that up between Gordy and Junior. Mac vs PC commercial.

The Punch.

When Junior punched Rodger in the face and Rodger just walked away I kind of thought that was a little unrealistic. Most guys would start hitting each other back and forth until one gives up but one doesn't usually just walk away right after getting punched, and he usually doesn't just start respecting the guy who punched him right after either. Maybe that's how they do stuff around there though.

Hope.

I like how even though Mr. P got punched by Junior and he still has hope for him and wants what's best for him. Junior actually taking his advice is what surprised me the most. The fact that he would leave the rez for schooling even though he knew how everyone would treat him after that point. I was in a way kind of proud of Junior for making such a big decision to leave the rez and actually do something with his life.

Modern Family

This show is a comedy for sure. It shows what families that deal with issues such as a new step mother, gay family members, adoption, etc. The father gets married to a much younger girl who has a son. The son is gay, has a boyfriend and they adopted a little girl from China. The daughter is married and has three kids, typical teenage daughter, middle child trying to tell the younger brother stuff that isn't true, and the younger brother is weird and does weird things which seems like he's doing it for attention. The show is really funny and shows how much drama they are all going through. It truly is a modern family.
