The main character is moving to your town. Will he or she fit in? Why or why not? How are his or her values and tastes different from- or the same as - those of your hometown.
I dont think my main character crash coogan would fit in here because all he likes to do is bully the other main character Penn webb and who around here would put mustard in someones shoe just because he felt like picking on webb because he hadn't done it all year long.
If Lavaughn moved to my hometown I think she would eventually be able to fit in. First of all it takes a while for someone to get used to somewhere they just moved to. I remember when i moved to Dover from Georgetown it took a while before I was able to get used to being in Dover because it was a whole new city with different people. Lavaughn would fit in because she is like all other kids here. Lavaughn is looking forward to college and she wants to go just like most people here. Most kids are already saving up for college because they want to be sure that they get into a college and not end up working at McDonalds. Additionally, she would fit in because Lavaughn's mom is like most moms here. Her mom just wants Lavaughn to get good grades like all the other parents here and not get involved with jobs or people that are a little iffy like Lavaughn is babysitting for Jolly who lives in a run down apartment and doesnot have a job. Personally I know that my mother would not allow me to babysit for someone like that. She would feel just as uncomfortable about it as Lavaughn's mom is. However if I would babysit for Jolly anyway like Lavaughn does. One reason she would not fit in here is because Lavaughn talks differently. Like she says sposed when everyone else here says supposed. But, if she were to move here it would not be hard for her to fit in with everyone else and talk like the students here.
If Ponyboy(the main character from "Outsiders") was to move into my town he would really stand out. Ponyboy is use to gang vilance and runing from Socs. He would probly think that he needs to walk around with a switch blade. The difference in our world is that gang wars do not occur most of the time, esspecially not in Deleware.
I dont think the main character of my book, Crash, would fit in to well. He is very agressive and would probably start fights. The only way he could fit in is on the football team because he is so good at it. He also is a trouble maker so the teachers would not like him.
If the main character from my book moved into my town I don't really think he would get along with everyone. See he would most likely have more friends here then he has at his current town,but he would still have to put up with people calling him names. Since he is larger then most others he will be picked on by some kids in the town and in our school. As for others they would be nice to him and become his friends unlike some of the other people in the book.
If the main character of my book, The Misfits by James Howe, moved into our town, would not fit in. He's fat, boring, and isclassified as a loser at his school in the book. I think Bobby would be shunned and teased mercilessly. Children our age are very cruel and relentless. So, Bobby would be screwed from the start, unless he gains 20 pound of muscle before he moved here. :)
I agree with Cameron that the character in his book would not fit in here. Crash sounds like one of those guys that everyone must fear and dislike. So if he were to come here he would just cause a lot of trouble. Additionally, the students here are not really bullies. I have not heard of anyone putting mustard in someone else's shoe. If Crash Coogan came here i definetely agree that he would not belong because of his bullying nature.
If a kid were to come to Paintbrush Falls, where everything tkes place, there would be alot of different things he or she would have to be. One thing is being white because there are only three black kids in the book so you probably won't be accepted. Also you must be cool or else you will be caught up with the misfits and that is not the greatest place to be becausethey get picked on all of the time. I wouldn't recommend this place for a new student because a new girl Kelsey who is shy is just now being involved in different things.
I am reading "The Misfits" By: James Howe. I think that Bobby would fit in to some extent. He would fit in because there is a variety of people here. There are many different people here and many people don't judge you right away.
Cameron, I also think that your main character would not fit in because he is a bully. Peoole in our school don't take kindly to bullies. We would take that bully and throw him into the street so that our school coiuld remain bully free.
I am reading "Make Lemonade" by Virginia Euwer Wolff. I belive that Jolly would not fit in here because she is out of the house at 17 and she has 2 kids. People from where I am usally have finished high school and most of them didnt leave home untill 18.But i also belive she would fit in because there is alot of people from the projects and people who did have kids at like 15.
Hey Camron, your character Crash might be able to in because at school since we have a bully wall. He will just learn not to bully because our officer here would give him lessons on how to stop bullying. Your character though is really harlarious because he is the only peron I know that would actually put mustard in someones shoes, that nasty and embarassing
I don't think that my main character, Ponyboy Curtis, would fit in at our school. He is from the fifties and they act different and dress differently then we do. Plus, he is in a "gang" and carries around things like switchblades and sometimes guns. I also think he would be made fun of for his hair style because it is longish and slicked back with grease.
If bobby came to our town he would be teased and called Fluff and fat Bobby. He would not be liked very much and no one would like him unfortunatally. He would still be an out cast just like he is at his school. No one would not want to talk to a kid called Fluff or fat Bobby. He would still be a misfit and a fat looser :)
Cameron, even though I haven't read your book and don't know the whole story, I think your main character might fit in. Alot of kids our age still like to bully people. Maybe not to that extend but he would still have some friends. However, I also said that my main character wouldn't fit in.
Isha... I agree with the statement that if Jolly doesn't get her act together that she will be working at McDonalds because she doesn't have a Highschool diploma and If you don't have that you might as well die...
No way could my main character Bobby would not fit in this school because people would always pick on him because he is fat because people already do that to other people. Also he can't say no so everybody would like tell him to do things and sometimes they will hurt him in the end. He needs to build some pride and learn how children his age really act.
If my main character Slam moved to my town i think he would fit in becausehes good at basketball and alot of people in our town like to play basketball and he would probably fit in good.
I think that Crash would fit in at our school because Crash seems like a cool kid and he likes sports and almost every kid in our grade likes at least one sport. The only thing about Crash is that he likes to bully Webb and I know out school does not tolerate bullying so I think if he didn't straighten up that he would end up in the alternative classroom.
I think my character crash coogan can fit in and couldnt. the ways that he could is that he is good at football and people would like him for that, but the ways that he couldnt is he can be a bully sometimes and is a loose cannon so people would probaly try to avoid him.
Heather, I agree with you to an extent on that. The reason being he would get picked on but sooner or later he will make friends on he would fit in with the "misfits" we have here at Postlethwait Middle School.
if the main character of my story were to move to my town he would fit in because he is very popular at his old school because of his basketball skills. he is going to be known for his basketball skills there
If my character were to move to this area, I think the would not fit in. The main characters name is Raspberry, and she has an obsesion with money. She touches money,, holds money, and even kisses money! As you can see, she isn't your average 13 year old teenager. I feel that the average person that would it in is someone who is outgoing, and not shy, so that may they can make friends face to face.
I agree with you. Like any other kid it would take some time to fit in with other people and a totally different place that your not really firmiliar with. But eventually Lavaughn would fit in just right in our school. Shes nice, and shes very helpful.
If my charactor moved into town he would not fit. I say that because in this time there are no greasers ao he would stand out. Also because it is alot harder to get away with crimes. I agree if you Jerome a person named Raspberry would not fit in.
In my book make lemonade the main character Jolly is 17 with two kids. I dont think she will will fit in that much because she doesnt have alot of money to pay for her kids and live in a safe enviornment. Also she doesnt have a good education or a good job. She doesnt want any help with anything from the government bescause she is scared they will take her away.
if 13 year old Rasberry(main character of "Money Hungry") were to move here i think there would be a good number of people that she could fit in with. i know a couple of people as well as myself that are just as tempted to do just about anything for some money, right down to cleaning a couple of elderly citizens homes! i dont really think that she would be able to make a real dollar in delaware though. but go to phili. or new york and your set :)
If my character, Ponyboy, was to move here here i don't think he'd fit in that well. He smokes, which I only think one kid in the entire school (7th grader) does. He'd probably get expelled for carrying a switchblade around, which we don't need to in this school. Also he was born "back in the day". Back in the day, people dressed, talked, and acted differently than we did. They learned differnet (and sometimes easier) things than we did, so he'd have a hard time learning what we do now.
if my main character, Ponyboy, were to come to Delaware i don't think he would fit in my side of Delaware. But maybe he would fit in with the gangs that are in central Dover or somewhere up there because in the book " The Outsiders" he is in a gang called the "Greasers". And the Greasers have another gang rival called the "Socs". So I think it'll just bring Ponyboy back some old memories of his fights and stuff from old times.
raspberry would kinda fit in an kinda wouldnt i say that because the fact that shes so in to money might mess up her friend ship toward some of the others an some people might just ack like her friends just to get to her money an others like me would be friendsa wit her because shes might not have any friends because people might sterotype her as sayin shes not cool cuz shes poor an live in the ghetto but i would be her friend because she seems like shes alone in this word an i would loan her money to help her in life.... if no one is there to help then good friends should always stick together:)
The I book I am reading is called THE OUTSIDERS. And the main carecter I will be talking about is Two Bit. No I do not think he will fit in in this town. Becuse he always is in a fight or what I mean is getting beat up all the time. And he doesn't even know how to defend him self. But realatiating to the kids in my neighber hood they are all very nice. And there are berly any fights. And If there are they would know how to handle it. But Two Bit on the other hand he does not know how to handle his own problems he most of the time needs asistance.
i disagree with you Jerome! yes i think Rasberry has a strong obsesion with money, but waht would you do if you just came of the streets, and you were so poor the ghetto seemed like Beverly Hills to you?! and i think we all have our days where we're all a little "Money Hungry"!
In my book "The Outsiders" the main characters name is Ponyboy. I don't think that Ponyboy would fit in here because he is a Greasers and always getting in trouble. Where we live nobody really gets in that much trouble and look like him. That is why I don't think Ponyboy will fit in in my town.
If Ponyboy moved into my neighborhood he would fit in because he's quiet and my neighborhood is very quiet mostly but then again he would'nt fit in because he smokes and drinks and has a switch blade
In my book Slam by Walter Dean Myers I believe that the main character Slam would definitly fit in at our school and town... although he is a little tall I am pretty sure he would fit in pretty quickly. Slam seems to have a great personality and find friends quickly. Although Slam's grammar isn't the best he seems like a pretty cool guy and I think that with is athleticism he would fit in with the rest of the atheletes.
If my main character, Ponyboy moved to delaware he would never fit in. Pony boy is a greaser who carries a switch blade everywere and there are never gang fights were we live. Also he does things other people don't do.
How, for Pete's sake, would Ponyboy fit in little old Dover/Camden? An unlawful vagabond like himself would be prosecuted a thousand times over! Greasing your hair back and wearing the same clothes everywhere isn't exactly how you make friends in the peaceful little town I live in. I'm not sure if anyone around Delaware tries to still be a 60s tough guy but making friends will be extremely difficult.
My character would probably fit here because there's a bit of basketball but not much of his type of neighborhood, he could still probably get along with alot of people.
I think Raspberry would fit in because of her personality and being herself. But then again I don't think she would fit in because she is selling old candy. I think people would want to fight her then they would all get kicked out of school!! thats what i think
I agree with you Joe A. Pony could never fit in here, he'd spend most of his time in jail. For all he would do is beat people up who make fun of his name. He could never fit in here in Delaware.
I have to agree with Isha. We are reading the same book, Make Lemonade. I agree that LaVaughn would fit in. She is the type of girl that is kind and everything. She reminds me of my friend, Sara. Sara is very kind, and most people just love her. After a while I think LaVaughn would have a great group if friends and will impact many peoples life!
i think if johnny moves in he would move in he would stand out because he is buffer than anybody thier but he could fit in because he plays football and im a captin on a football team
I agree Alicia Jones because Jolly is going to get welfare because if not she is going to be struggling with two kids. Her children will then have to go to a foster home because someone will call child protection services. She thinks her kids are all she has now. She feels she needs to work for them.
I think that slam would fit in because he can play sport and as far as i got it doesnt seem like he is a bad person to be friends with.also he can trust his friends and it seems like he has a mack game.
Well my character, katniss would not fit in here becouse she spends her time hunting for food so it whould be hard for her to relate to people ecspecialy people in america because eat basicaly for fun and she whould have no understanding of thanksgivings,easters,aand cristmas'. hinestly for the most part I think she whould be discusted of us.because we have so mmuch and we do so little with it.and she whould come from so little. ecspecialy with my neighbors having dogs couse she grew up eating them
If Joe came to my town i dont think he would get excepted very quickly.I think that people would be kind of turned off that he is gay and not alot of guys would want to hang out with a gay dude. If he did make friends i think they would most likely be girls because they really wouldnt care!
I think my chacter Katniss would fit in after a while beacuse she is adaptle and cunning. She would be able to find group of kids she will be able to fit in with. she might not be all that smart on acount of all that she was tought about at her old school was about coal and the history of some of her contry (witch is realy our contry but in the futcher). She might not have alot of friends if she talks about the Hunger Games alot but i would be her friend any way.
In my book Holes, the main character Stanley would probably intimidate people. He's outrageously tall and scary looking and has a backround. Once someone hears that he went to a juvenile camp for stealing, rumors are going to fly! Some people are going to stay away from him because of fear that he is dangerous, and some people will end up being his friend.
One of the words that i didnt understand is blissfully....another word for using that could be happiness od blessedness and what i find so interesting about this word is that i knew i have heard it somewhere but know i finally know what it means.
SHELBY- I agree that your main character probably wouldn't fit in. In most cases when your a broke single mom people judge you and stay away from you with fear that they may end up like you.
Yeah shakur I agree with you on that one because Katniss would not be able to hunt that much for hetr food here. There really is not many places to hunt here in Delaware.
To me Raspberry could fit in this school because she just like every else here she's normal but the only thing that would be different is that everyone here live middle class and Raspberry lives in lower class and people would think she's weird becuase she would do any thing for some money.
If the main characters of "The Misfits" moved into my neighborhood, they proablybe treated the same and maybe even worse than before. I not be mean or anything, but some of the kids here can be pretty harsh and not even say sorry. Sometimes they could even take things too far. I would tell them to go back or find another nice place to live.
In my book "Absolutely Normal Chaos", the main character Mary Lou most likely would fit in. I don't know with what "group" but she woyuld make friends. She's quiet and keeps to herself. There are a lot of kids like that at our school. Mary Lou's values aren't different she is just a typicalo teenage girl (boring at that) but typical.....
my book is called slam the main charater is called greg slam he's a basket ball player who dosent have good grades dosent get respect from his coach all off these
i agree that the main character in my book will not fit in because alot of people get talked about and we dont have no gay people in our skool so i think they wouldnt fit in........
In my book "Misfits" there is a character named Joe. I don't think he would fit in where Im really from but here he'll fit in better. The reason for this is because he is gay. Most people do not except gay people. But i would show him the most respect because, people like him really have guts to be different and stand out. Thats what i think a lot of people are scared of change that is. People here where skinny jeans sagging or baggy jeans. He would probably where tight jeans with bright colors and have a switch to his walk. That is very different to other people and the can't handle it. Like people might feel uncomfortable and out of place with him because he is so different and acts as if what people say doesn't hurt him. So they might not react in the best way. That is how i feel it would be if he came here
I have to agree with Sam Burns. Bobby suffers as an outsider looking in. But maybe moving to a new town and state would do him well. He could have a new chance to get a fresh start. Even though he would be a new kid he still would be called names but soon enough he will find a group of friends that accept him for him. Bobby will just blend into the background and only get teased sometimes.
if y character slam moved to my neighborhood he would fit in well because a lot of people like to play basketball and since he is nice at it he would play basketball with us.
If my main character, Mary Lou, from "Appsolutely Normal Chaos", moved to our school, she would fit in right away! She hates the drama, listens to her friend's problems, when they are annoyed with eachother, she just gives her some space, and she isn't too preppy. I would definitally be her friend! So Mary Lou is a complete opposite of JessicA's character, the fat, boring boy Bobby. Seems like my book has ther most normal characters. :D
I doubt that our school is "bully-free", Billy, but I do agree that your main character sounds a lot meaner than anyone I've ever met and probably wouldn't make many friends.
Cassetty H., I agree with you people do think it is wrong with being gay but i think that it's their choice and it shouldn't bother other people the way it does.
My book is called fever 1793 and I think the main charcter mattie would probly fit in my neberhood because it is very easy to make frends in my neberhood because everyone is so nice and even though it take time to get use to a new neberhood in the end you would be well like just like I was when I moved to a new neberhood 2 years ago but you would make a lot of freinds in the end
I also agree with rafael this school is full of bullys who would not stop bullieing people and just keep doing it but hopfully it will stop[who am I kidding!!!]
I dissagree with joe adams. Because the socs only live on the west side, in california so it would be safe there and he would be able to walk home without getting jumped
I dont think my main character crash coogan would fit in here because all he likes to do is bully the other main character Penn webb and who around here would put mustard in someones shoe just because he felt like picking on webb because he hadn't done it all year long.

ReplyDeletei disagree with you Jerome! yes i think Rasberry has a strong obsesion with money, but waht would you do if you just came of the streets, and you were so poor the ghetto seemed like Beverly Hills to you?! and i think we all have our days where we're all a little "Money Hungry"!
ReplyDeleteIn my book "The Outsiders" the main characters name is Ponyboy. I don't think that Ponyboy would fit in here because he is a Greasers and always getting in trouble. Where we live nobody really gets in that much trouble and look like him. That is why I don't think Ponyboy will fit in in my town.
ReplyDeleteIf Ponyboy moved into my neighborhood he would fit in because he's quiet and my neighborhood is very quiet mostly but then again he would'nt fit in because he smokes and drinks and has a switch blade
ReplyDeleteIn my book Slam by Walter Dean Myers I believe that the main character Slam would definitly fit in at our school and town... although he is a little tall I am pretty sure he would fit in pretty quickly. Slam seems to have a great personality and find friends quickly. Although Slam's grammar isn't the best he seems like a pretty cool guy and I think that with is athleticism he would fit in with the rest of the atheletes.
ReplyDeleteIf my main character, Ponyboy moved to delaware he would never fit in. Pony boy is a greaser who carries a switch blade everywere and there are never gang fights were we live. Also he does things other people don't do.
ReplyDeleteHow, for Pete's sake, would Ponyboy fit in little old Dover/Camden? An unlawful vagabond like himself would be prosecuted a thousand times over! Greasing your hair back and wearing the same clothes everywhere isn't exactly how you make friends in the peaceful little town I live in. I'm not sure if anyone around Delaware tries to still be a 60s tough guy but making friends will be extremely difficult.
ReplyDeleteWould I even accept Ponyboy? Most likely not.
My character would probably fit here because there's a bit of basketball but not much of his type of neighborhood, he could still probably get along with alot of people.
ReplyDeleteI think Raspberry would fit in because of her personality and being herself. But then again I don't think she would fit in because she is selling old candy. I think people would want to fight her then they would all get kicked out of school!! thats what i think
ReplyDeleteI agree with you taylor.She will make a lot of friends and that maybe she will have beter ones that she has now in the book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joe A. Pony could never fit in here, he'd spend most of his time in jail. For all he would do is beat people up who make fun of his name. He could never fit in here in Delaware.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Isha. We are reading the same book, Make Lemonade. I agree that LaVaughn would fit in. She is the type of girl that is kind and everything. She reminds me of my friend, Sara. Sara is very kind, and most people just love her. After a while I think LaVaughn would have a great group if friends and will impact many peoples life!
ReplyDeletei think if johnny moves in he would move in he would stand out because he is buffer than anybody thier but he could fit in because he plays football and im a captin on a football team
ReplyDeleteI agree Alicia Jones because Jolly is going to get welfare because if not she is going to be struggling with two kids. Her children will then have to go to a foster home because someone will call child protection services. She thinks her kids are all she has now. She feels she needs to work for them.
ReplyDeleteI think that slam would fit in because he can play sport and as far as i got it doesnt seem like he is a bad person to be friends with.also he can trust his friends and it seems like he has a mack game.
ReplyDeleteWell I really do not think that Joe would fitin at PMS because most people in Dover think that there something wrong with being gay.
ReplyDeleteWell my character, katniss would not fit in here becouse she spends her time hunting for food so it whould be hard for her to relate to people ecspecialy people in america because eat basicaly for fun and she whould have no understanding of thanksgivings,easters,aand cristmas'. hinestly for the most part I think she whould be discusted of us.because we have so mmuch and we do so little with it.and she whould come from so little. ecspecialy with my neighbors having dogs couse she grew up eating them
ReplyDeleteIf Joe came to my town i dont think he would get excepted very quickly.I think that people would be kind of turned off that he is gay and not alot of guys would want to hang out with a gay dude. If he did make friends i think they would most likely be girls because they really wouldnt care!
ReplyDeleteI think my chacter Katniss would fit in after a while beacuse she is adaptle and cunning. She would be able to find group of kids she will be able to fit in with. she might not be all that smart on acount of all that she was tought about at her old school was about coal and the history of some of her contry (witch is realy our contry but in the futcher). She might not have alot of friends if she talks about the Hunger Games alot but i would be her friend any way.
ReplyDeleteIn my book Holes, the main character Stanley would probably intimidate people. He's outrageously tall and scary looking and has a backround. Once someone hears that he went to a juvenile camp for stealing, rumors are going to fly! Some people are going to stay away from him because of fear that he is dangerous, and some people will end up being his friend.
ReplyDeleteOne of the words that i didnt understand is blissfully....another word for using that could be happiness od blessedness and what i find so interesting about this word is that i knew i have heard it somewhere but know i finally know what it means.
ReplyDeletebrandon i agree with you
ReplyDeleteSHELBY- I agree that your main character probably wouldn't fit in. In most cases when your a broke single mom people judge you and stay away from you with fear that they may end up like you.
ReplyDeleteYeah shakur I agree with you on that one because Katniss would not be able to hunt that much for hetr food here. There really is not many places to hunt here in Delaware.
ReplyDeleteTo me Raspberry could fit in this school because she just like every else here she's normal but the only thing that would be different is that everyone here live middle class and Raspberry lives in lower class and people would think she's weird becuase she would do any thing for some money.
ReplyDeleteIf the main characters of "The Misfits" moved into my neighborhood, they proablybe treated the same and maybe even worse than before. I not be mean or anything, but some of the kids here can be pretty harsh and not even say sorry. Sometimes they could even take things too far. I would tell them to go back or find another nice place to live.
ReplyDeleteIn my book "Absolutely Normal Chaos", the main character Mary Lou most likely would fit in. I don't know with what "group" but she woyuld make friends. She's quiet and keeps to herself. There are a lot of kids like that at our school. Mary Lou's values aren't different she is just a typicalo teenage girl (boring at that) but typical.....
ReplyDeletemy book is called slam the main charater is called greg slam he's a basket ball player who dosent have good grades dosent get respect from his coach all off these
ReplyDeletei agree that the main character in my book will not fit in because alot of people get talked about and we dont have no gay people in our skool so i think they wouldnt fit in........
ReplyDeleteIn my book "Misfits" there is a character named Joe. I don't think he would fit in where Im really from but here he'll fit in better. The reason for this is because he is gay. Most people do not except gay people. But i would show him the most respect because, people like him really have guts to be different and stand out. Thats what i think a lot of people are scared of change that is. People here where skinny jeans sagging or baggy jeans. He would probably where tight jeans with bright colors and have a switch to his walk. That is very different to other people and the can't handle it. Like people might feel uncomfortable and out of place with him because he is so different and acts as if what people say doesn't hurt him. So they might not react in the best way. That is how i feel it would be if he came here
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Sam Burns. Bobby suffers as an outsider looking in. But maybe moving to a new town and state would do him well. He could have a new chance to get a fresh start. Even though he would be a new kid he still would be called names but soon enough he will find a group of friends that accept him for him. Bobby will just blend into the background and only get teased sometimes.
ReplyDeleteif y character slam moved to my neighborhood he would fit in well because a lot of people like to play basketball and since he is nice at it he would play basketball with us.
ReplyDeleteIf my main character, Mary Lou, from "Appsolutely Normal Chaos", moved to our school, she would fit in right away! She hates the drama, listens to her friend's problems, when they are annoyed with eachother, she just gives her some space, and she isn't too preppy. I would definitally be her friend! So Mary Lou is a complete opposite of JessicA's character, the fat, boring boy Bobby. Seems like my book has ther most normal characters. :D
ReplyDeleteI doubt that our school is "bully-free", Billy, but I do agree that your main character sounds a lot meaner than anyone I've ever met and probably wouldn't make many friends.
ReplyDeleteCassetty H.,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you people do think it is wrong with being gay but i think that it's their choice and it shouldn't bother other people the way it does.
I agree with Rafael, our school is not even close to bully free its like this school is over populated with bullys.
ReplyDeleteMy book is called fever 1793 and I think the main charcter mattie would probly fit in my neberhood because it is very easy to make frends
ReplyDeletein my neberhood because everyone is so nice and even though it take time to get use to a new neberhood in the end you would be well like just like I was when I moved to a new neberhood 2 years ago but you would make a lot of freinds in the end
I also agree with rafael this school is full of
ReplyDeletebullys who would not stop bullieing people and just keep doing it but hopfully it will stop[who am I kidding!!!]
I disagree whith joe because i would realy wont my place to be on the map and people we wont to come stay thier.
ReplyDeleteI dissagree with joe adams. Because the socs only live on the west side, in california so it would be safe there and he would be able to walk home without getting jumped
ReplyDelete
