Why do you think memoir is important for us to read? What does memoir offer us as readers and human beings?

Memoir is important to read because it helps us understand other people's lives. Also, most people who write memoirs have a good story to tell. It offers us as human beings a way to relate to other people's lives. Jack G. 7A >_<

This book is very significant because it teaches us as humans many different morals. It taught me how life changes for everyone as he or she matures and develops on the inside and out. Crutcher was a total dweeb while he was in high school, even though currently he is an author and leads an average life. It also taught me, how people frequently misunderstand or misinterpret what other people say to them. In conclusion, people can get in trouble, or can accidentally spread a rumor. I also believe this is a vital book for teenagers to read because unlike numerous ¬other books, this memoir is 100% honest about the author’s perspective on life and what happened in his personal life. He isn’t afraid of language or of what he writes in general. He’s being frank and doesn’t conceal anything from his readers. That is the main reason why Chris Crutcher is a very important author for teenagers to read. Micha K. 7A

Memoirs are important for our class to read because it gives you a real life view on like and real live stories about ordinary peoples lives. Memoirs offer us, as readers a chance to learn about the world and to see how other people function and act as human beings. Jonah J. 7A

I think that a memoir is important to read. It teaches us many things about humans. Chris Crutcher was a total dweeb but now he is a completely a normal guy. It reaches us about how people really are inside. In a memoir, people really express their true inner emotions, and really tell what was going on in their lives. When the event actually occured they might not have really understood what was going on. After a while of thinking about it, they could really understand it and when they put it in a memoir, they can come clean with themselves. Memoirs offer us many oppertunities to see how others lives are, and also how they think. that is why memoirs are important. Gil EF 7A

One moment that made me laugh out loud was when Chris mentions that it is rumored that his brother has a sign over his office that says, "Esus saves... by working with John M. Crutcher, L.L.C. This made me laugh because it refers to the part in the story when John breaks Chris's "Jesus Saves" glow in the dark sign. It breaks off the "J" making it say "Esus Saves." John convinces Chris not to tell their mom because she might take it away. He says that Esus was Jesus's older brother, and nobody knows about him, so if he tells, people will take it away because it mentions Jesus's older brother, Esus. --Jack G. 7A A moment that made me laugh out loud was when Chris was going through an initiation process. All of the different events were funny but the funniest one was when they had to pick up olives with their REAR ENDS! The whole idea of it was funny but the thing that made me laugh even herder was the way that he described it. He talked rom DNA, all the way to how his dad was a World War Two fighter pilot, which in the end somehow saves Chris from having to eat an olive that someone else had picked up with their"cheeks". In all it was hilarious. -Gil E.F 7Abaybay

One moment that made me curious, surprised, and laugh out loud at the same time was when John Crutcher asked his younger brother "Wanna do something neat?". What he really meant was, "You wanna pee into the register grate, make the whole house stink up, and get in trouble?" Of course foolish and gullible Chris Crutcher does the "Something neat" and gets in trouble. I'm amazed at how much of an idiot Chric Crutcher is, and I laughed and was curious why in thw world he would do it and beleive his brother..

I know i mentioned this in the conflict but one moment in the book that made me laugh out loud was when Chris Crutcher was explaining how his mom used to get him to stop inflicting pain on himself. He said that he used to jump up in the air and then land real hard on the ground, so the next time he jumped up in the air him mom stuck a wooden block under him so when he landed he would never do it again. He also said that he used to bang his head on the bathtub. So when Chris went to go band his head on the bathtub his mom slammed his head into the tub a little harder than he expected and of coarse that made him stop. This part of the book made me laugh out loud and i realized that Chris Crutcher is one **BIG IDIOT**! Jonah J. 7A (what now)!

Wiki Post 1: Conflict
April 16, 2008: Conflict One of the major conflicts that Chris Critcher had is that he's very slow and barely has a butt. That was a big problem when he was going through an initiation ceremony for the "C Club". In order to join, he had to run down the basketball court, pick up an olive with his butt, run back down the court, and drop it in a shoe. Because of this he alomost had to eat an olive that had been in a shoe and a butt as the losing prize. --Micha K. 7A

One problem the narrator faces is that he self inflicts pain. When ever he gets mad he deals with his problems by either jumping up in the air, or banging his head on a bathtub as hard as he can. His mom used to stick blocks under him when he jumped up in the air causing him to not like his mother very much. All throughout his life he would self inflict pain because he had a short temper which affected his life in a great deal. --Jonah J. 7A

A major conflict that Mr. Crutcher faces is when he gets shot in the head with a BB gun. He agreed to run out from behind a tree and get shot at with a BB gun. He ran out from behind th tree and the first BB his brother shoots hits him square in the temple. Because of this, he had a BB in his head, and to this day, the words "wanna do something neat?" strikes fear into his heart to this very day. --Jack G. 7A

The biggest conflict that chris faces in the book is his social life. He is basically a dweeb, and no matter what he says or does he still comes out as a loser. He also has a huge problem with zits. He eventually gets up the nerve to ask a girl to a dance, but then miraculously he develops a giant zit. He tries to get rid of it, but that doesn't help at all and only makes it worse. Also his social manners weren't so great, so the girl thought he was disgusting, and never really liked him ever.That is his major conflict. -Gil E.F. 7a
