pg. 1-184:
Fat Cat is about a girl named Catherine Locke who is fat. She thinks her life is heading no where until she gets the greatest idea ever in her genus mind. And she owes it all to Matt...Sort of. If she didn't look at him in the middle of choosing oh so special picture that started this whole thing. Then this book wouldn't have existed. So thank you Matt. Anyway, her perfect idea as her science experiment for Mr. Fizer's class is to go back in time before microwave, and Doritos, and oreos and all processed and manufactured food existed. Also make-up, television, and any other electronics. Back to when all you ate was bushes, nuts, and meats you hunted on your ow. ALL NATURAL foods. Cat has not only come up with a way to loose a few pounds, but create the best science project ever. But most of all, she will be able to beat Matt for once since seventh grade. And what a bad year that was for her. And this brilliant idea came form a picture of Homo Erectus. Early hominins from 1.8 million years ago. But there's one problem. This project is due in seven moths. 207 months to be exact. How can Cat stay away from everything junk and electronics for seven months?

Bridge to Terabithia:
"Jess tried going to Terabithia alone, but it was no good. It needed Leslie to make the magic. He was afraid he would destroy everything by trying to force the magic on his own..."
My question was, why is Jess so afraid of everything? Why can't he just take a chance?
I saw how Jess didn't have any confidence in himself. He thinks he will mess up Terabithia if he does anything. He feels like he needs Leslie so badly in his life. And b/c of that it will make the effect of Leslie's death hit him real hard.. He thinks it is soemthing Leslies does or says that makes it all appear. I think he gets this from his family. They have raised him to do one thing. And that I believe is to follow other peoples rules. Not his own. He is growing up and has no clue what he wants to do is be the fastest runner in fifth grade. What will he do in high school? or college? Will he even go to college?
He says he loves to draw? But is too afraid his family will be embarrased by him. Love him less. And he is afraid that his school mates (no friends) will look down on him more than they already do. The only way he does fit in is when it comes to being the fastest runner. He is hanging on to this tiny string for life. When he meets Leslie it's different. He feels as if he can be his true self and nothing or no one could hurt him in any way. Like when he brough Maybelle Leslie teaches him to be a leader. Not a follower.
