4/28 It Happened to Nancy by an ANONYMOUS TEENAGER Pages 155 to 178 (quote on page 164-165) Quote: Later, when I was sitting at my desk in English, I daydreamed of slumping over and dying a slow, tortuous death so they each could see how much their ignoring me hurt. Can't they. . . don't they know that unreal pain hurts almost more than real pain? Reaction: Sometimes that is true. Some people around others just about never say how hurt they feel from inside but only from the outside which mostly never really makes sense at all. Only some say how they feel from the inside which makes them feel even better which is even better because then they don't feel like so many stuff trying to get out of them which actually helps so much for sure. When they don't say how they actually feel from the inside after a while they feel like so many stuff trying to come out at once which kind of makes them cry from all of the hurt that they have from the inside.

4/29 SAME Pages 179 to 212 (quote on page 180) Quote**:** I can't go home tomorrow**.** I**'**m crushed**.** I called Adam**.** He**'**ll take one of his buddies to the concert instead of me**.** Of course**,** I didn**'**t tell him the true reason why I can**'**t go**.** Reaction: I cannot believe what only one disease can do to a person, like umm not let them enjoy all of the good stuff that they still have in life. It all really sucks for that person for sure. Well for at least Nancy still has some life left in her for a while more. I just wonder if she will ever get rid of the disease AIDS. I just hope for sure that I never get that infection in my life.

4/30 SAME Pages 213 to 239 (quote on page 219) Quote**:** She is buried next to Uncle Rod in the center of the Sacred Fir Tree Circle**.** Red Alert**'**s grave is close to Nancy**'**s feet**,** and ailing Cougar will be buried beside him**.** On Nancy**'**s wooden tombstone Melvin carved**:** **THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER NANCY** Reaction: That was like so, so, ummm nice to get her buried next to her loved ones that way she wouldn't be all alone there. I just cannot believe it that she died sleeping two days after her last entry which sounds so sad and bad. Well for at least she is next to her loved ones and not all alone like some people get buried.

5/1 McMummy by Betsy Byars Pages 1 to 52 (quote on page 42) Quote**:** She turned to the plant and wiggled her shoulders purposefully**.** **"**I**'**m going in**.** Hold on too me**,"** she told Mozie**. "**And don**'**t let go no matter what!**"** Reaction**:** I wouldn**'**t do that if I was Valvoline**.** She is like a daredevil like or in other words she isn't afraid of anything is like how it mostly sounds and looks**.** She must totally be out of her mind to go around the plant and listen to it like if something was actually in it**.** That girl must be crazy for sure because I wouldn't do that because it isn't my plant it belongs to Professor Orloff**.**

5/2 SAME Pages 53 to 104 (quote on page 54) Quote: And**,** Moze**,** my mom has a nose for socks**.** Like I**'**ll be at the table and I**'**ll slip my feet out of my shoes and my mom says**, '**I smell socks**.'** Reaction**:** That is way to weird or crazy**.** I have never heard of a mom who has a nose just like Batty**'**s mom**.** I cannot believe that she can smell someone wearing dirty socks just like that easily**.** Well for at least she doesn**'**t have a NOSE for trouble because then it would really be way too wierd to imagine**.** At least I don**'**t know anyone like that for sure**.**
