The question that I want answered is if Jake is going to stay at Trybridge, or go to juvinile hall. I think he might stay because on the last page in chapter seven it said tht Jake looked like he was enjoying himself watching what was happening with the two people arguing about the car accident. That's my main question so far in the book.
Mikayla,I think that he will stay with the applewhites, because he will learn to to like them and they will help him be a better person. I think E.D will help him and i th.0ink the grampa will give him some good advice.
I wonder in chap. twelve if jake will keep his hair natural because in chap. eleven it said that he could hardly get it up because his hair got so long and he said that it took a long time for him to get ready just because he has to get his hair pointy and get it bright red again I think. If he dose decided to keep his hair natural what it will look like? it of course is going to be brown because it said the brown was showing, anyway i'm wondering if it will be shagy long hair like some boys do. Or will it be like most boys and be short? I can't wait for the book to tell us can you guys?
Mikayla, I think that Jake will stay with the Applewhites because he is already getting used to them. He has begun to eat the food, (even if it isn't very much!) And he is doing things that he normally wouldn't do. Jake doesn’t want to admit the fact that he is beginning to like the Applewhites. He says he wants to go to Juvie, but he probably just doesn’t want to destroy his "bad boy" image. He has definitely taken to Cordeilia, and he is even starting to accept Destiny. If you have noticed, he is always with Winston, who seems to be getting into his heart really fast. This is why I think Jake will stay with the Applewhites.
I think that you both are right about Jake staying at traybridge instead of going to juvi. Taylor was right about jake taken to Cordelia because almost everytime he sees her it's like he is going to blush wich girls normally do if they see a boy that they really like. Aubree was also right about Jake getting used to Destiny always hanging around him and yapping his little ead off. That is kind of weird for a troubbled kid to get use to that I bet if I was sent somewhere and there was a really, really, really, annoying kid I would go balistit! I myself was really surrprise that winston kept on howling right before Jake left for the sound of music auditions. he just kept on howling and howling and wouldn't stop I can't beleve that winston is already attched to Jake. If I were a dog I don't think that I would be attched to a kind of kid like Jake Semple. What do you guys think?
oh! my gosh I can't beleive that Jake Semple acually is doing a project and above all on BUTTERFLYS. I didn't think that a boy would want to do a project about butterflys. and when I started to read one page in chapter 19 I remembered that Zeddiah I think it was came into the school room and E.D. came up to him an told him that she was almost done with one project that she was doing. She said that she just neened to get onto the computer and type something out but she hadn't had the chance because some other kid was spending alot of time on it. Then Zeddiah said that we might have to tell him then what you need to do for your project so you can get on. It seemed as though E.D. was the teachers pet and that she thought the whole world revovled around her during the school hours. And then Zeddiah looked at Jake and gave him "THE LOOK!" the book said that Zeddiah gave the look to someone and it seemed like a dissapointed look or a "your never going to get that done" kind of lookon his face. That just seemed kind of weird to me, I feel like something is going to happen between Jake and Zeddiah.
Mikayla, about the comment on Winston, that you were suprised he wanted to be Jake's dog. Dogs have what some people beileve to be a sixth sense. They can occasionally sense when someone needs help, emotionally, or phsically. Wiston knew that Jake needed help, so by worming his way into Jake's heart, Jake automatically seemed to soften up.

Since Jake has been with the Appelwhites I think Destiny as kind of been "attached to jakes leg." I also think Jake and Winston have became pals.
