Page:6 Paragraph:4

Jefferey probably started screaming from the start of the song, which was "Talk to the Animals," but nobody knew it because he was drowned out by all the other voices. Then the music ended and Jefferey went right on screaming, his face bright red by now, his neck bulging. The music director faced the singers,frozen with his arms still raised. In the audience faces began to change. There was a quick smatter of giggling by some people who figured the screaming kid was part of the show, some funny animal maybe.

I really thought that was a great paragraph that make you laugh. That paragraph was funny because Jefferey doesn't know that the singing ended and he kept singing. Luckily people thought that it was supposed to be part of the play. Jefferey is so funny the way that he does thing and always keeps a smile on his face! I enjoy reading books when they make you laugh because then it makes you want to read more.

That was one of my favorite part of the book so far. Becca B

Why did Mr. Cobble decide to put a story in the newspaper and try to have someone untie the knot?

Why did the man not notice Maniac on page 61?

Why did the knot explode?

<span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(233, 58, 181); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> 1. Mr. Cobble put the story in because he thought it would make some excitement in the town.

2. The man did not notice Maniac because he was of a different race and this was the "black" end of town.

3. The knot exploded because it had a hard cover on the outside and then when that broke it just popped open.

These chapters were all about Maniac Magee meeting a man named Mr. Grayson that is a Veteran. Maniac and Mr. Grayson spend a whole day together getting Maniac new clothes, letting Maniac eat what ever he wants (mainly Krimpets), showering for an hour, and visiting the zoo. Since Maniac had no where to sleep he slept in a baseball supply storage room. Mr. Grayson lives in a room in the YMCA and he took Maniac to shower there and then to the clothes store because he was wearing almost rag clothing. This whole chapter is mainly about Maniac getting a fresh start at life.

Great summary! Christine

Awesome summary! Julia

I thought page: 121 paragraph: 2 and 3 were very sad or depressing because Maniac can't lived in the Band Shell anymore. In these paragraphs he luckily gets to go back to get a couple things like a blanket and some food. I think that the author really makes it sound sad in this paragraph with her voice, when she says " he was drifting through life and he only did the minimum he had to do".

Great job! Julia

I thought that chapter 43 was a little sad. Maniac was going everywhere looking for shelter, food, anything. This really relates to my life because every week I go down and volunteer at a food pantry in the very poor south side of WI. Maniac and the people I help are VERY grateful for any little thing. Luckily there are people who can help the less wealthy.
