Instead it basically decribes the more important stuff that the main character goes through from day to day. Some of the climaxing events that I found in the story was him moving to a new town, his mother catching him reading porn, and also getting caught for "accidentally" stealing money from a store. The last event caused him to have to work volenteerily for a kitchen for homeless people. But I really liked when his mother caught him reading porn because I thought that was really funny. Some of the literary devices that the author uses to help build up the character is some of the stuff he says. Like if he is getting made fun of or in a confrontation, he will think of something clever to say to put the opposing person in their place. An example of this is when he was in a arguement with a girl in his class. Since it is still middle school and the girls are still "underdeveloped", he said she should join "The Iddy Bitty Titty Commitee". That made me seriously laugh out loud and I will probably be inclined to use that putdown in the future.Coreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-43753040593521327482007-10-01T07:22:00.000-05:002007-10-01T07:22:00.000-05:00i dont know what your problem is i loved this book...i dont know what your problem is i loved this book it was SO FUNNYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-49804822264044183522007-07-25T09:03:00.000-05:002007-07-25T09:03:00.000-05:00Jen:So glad I'm not the only one that felt that wa...Jen:<BR/><BR/>So glad I'm not the only one that felt that way.

The narrator just annoyed me too much. I didn't care what happened to him. I can see him appealing to a certain audience, but I myself had other books that were a higher priority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
