Chapter 8: Locked In

Benjy has changed a lot in the short time that he has been with Miss Leota. We discussed his new confidence and self esteem in class today. What are some things that have helped him change? How do you think he will be by the end of the book?

  7. #23: I agree with you about the tantrums. Good job remembering that piece of information and using it as a change that he will make in the future!

  10. fran gets in a fight with her grand mother becuase she meet some body in new marcket that she really likes and she wants to go out but msLeota wont,let her go becuase she wants to come back at 12 o clock.and now she has an attutudie her grandmoter told her why dont you climb out the window and she got mad ran in her room and slamed the door behind her.so miss leota locked the. door but benjy had a problem of his own he had to go help the ghost that he was trying to be friends with now he has a big problem this going to be a good chapter number 20

  11. #17 I think you are absolutely correct. It always makes you feel better about things when you have friends to share it with. Even bad things are not so bad when someone is there to support you through it! I think that Benjy is going to change in ways that will make him a much better, happier person. -Mrs. Wilson
