Comment on 2 other posts minimum and try and get some dialogue flowing back and forth.
Things to consider when adding comments...any similarities between the characters and yourself, any patterns developing? who was the most difficult to think up 5 characteristics?
For Thamil the reading response question from toady:
What do you think about Sean? What characteristics would you use to describe him? Is he a student that you would hang out
with?
Does this story remind you of anything else you have read or
watched (Self-Text connection).
David moody,independent, different,interesting and truthful.
ReplyDeleteSean stereotype,good,confident,friendly and athletic.
McCully is nice, determined,honest,reliable and powerful.
ReplyDeleteScott bad,stupid,dumb,mean and a loser
David: unpredictable,smart,talented,brave,active
ReplyDeleteMcCully: patient,calm,judgmental,realistic,can't think of anything else
Sean: leader,smart,realistic,determined,athletic

@Master Cheif
ReplyDeleteWhat do u mean by bad normal kid...?
You really think that Scott is normal?
The most difficult one was Scott and Mr.Cully 'cause there wasn't much scenes from them for me to determine there full personalities.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't see much similarities from the characters of rebound compared to me, just that athletic personality from David and Sean.
@Thamil what about your own characteristics?
@Olga
ReplyDeleteIn a way Scott can be considered "normal" by other kids since in this generation, most 8th graders start smoking....I think rebound is pretty realistic, the author sure did know about middle school kids!
David complex confusing athletic strong short tempered
ReplyDeleteScott trouble maker dumb brave not healthy sometimes smart
Sean compex smart athletic short temper friendly
McCully judgemental gullable short tempered smart bias
Me athletic unpredictable determined polite sometimes hurtful
ReplyDeletemost difficult was McCully
ReplyDelete@thnxs sonali it work as u can see and thnxs donna for trying
ReplyDelete@Lisa & Sonali
ReplyDeleteI saved you lisa, youre lucky they invented telephones to communicate! And yes Sonali you were very helpful.
@Am17 who are you?
ReplyDelete@polish me by normal im talking about most the teenagers these days theyre smoking to seem cool and that's the exact thing scotts doing
ReplyDelete@mrcheney thank you very much thats why im the super genius
And my own characteristics i think of my self as Athletic, Circumstantially brave,Short tempered,Annoying to others,energetic And im FAT :D
@abeeshan how is scott jealous
ReplyDeleteYeah Lisa!!!
ReplyDeleteSonali you will have to show me this part.
so many think Scott is dumb and stupid...but wasn't he the one that tried to step in and save Sean from his fight with David?
So many seem to like McCully, so many have changed their views since they first commented on McCully. So I guess you were glad he held Sean accountable for his past?1?1
ReplyDeleteDavid: BULLY(SORT OF),MOODSWINGS,UNPREDICTABLE,
ReplyDeleteSean:ONE OF THOSE TOUGHIES,ATHLETIC,SMART(FOR NOT TAKING THE CIGURETTES,TROUBLE-MAKER,
Scott:THINKS HE'S ALL THAT CUZ HE IS SMOKING,CARENESS(BECAUSE HE KEPT TELLING SEAN NOT TO GET IN TO A FIGHT SO HE WON'T GET IN TROUBLE),
Mr.McCully:STRICT,FAIR,
ME!:CRAZY(HIGH),WEIRD,BEAUTIFUL(LOLZ),SMART(KINDA),RANDOM. (NEAT FREAK)
*CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE CHARACTERISTICS
@Mr.cheney it is very easy when i couldn't get my comment to post i tried alot of things but it didn't work but then i noticed that the box wasn't checked so then i tried posting it and it WORKED!
ReplyDeleteI think that Mr.McCully was the hardest one to figure out characteristics for. I had them all at the top of my head but i could hardly remember any.
ReplyDeletedavid shorttempered,athletic,moody,leader,
ReplyDeletetypical
sean athletic,accountable,intelligent,typical,
amiable
mr.Mc.Cully shorttempered,solemn,strict,
judgemental,
scott normal,reckless,irresponsible,unitelligent
me irritable,athletic,generous,got all from donna but i dont believe her
@Lisa
ReplyDeleteIf only one of ur characteristics was cocky so u can agree with me
i also said dependable but she refused to put that up....
Well @mrcheney Scott is Circumstantially dumb he makes bad mistakes but when it comes Sean he acts smart and prevents Sean from getting in trouble so like i said Circumstantially
ReplyDeleteWhat bad mistakes has Scott made?
ReplyDelete@mrcheney hes gotten in trouble alot and has brought others in to his trouble making plans and hes trying to change Sean by smoking and when he wont hes making Sean be next to him when he smokes and then he smokes
ReplyDeleteDavid:
ReplyDeleteMoody,impatient,athletic,straightup
Sean:
responsible,softy,stereotype
Mr.McCully:
Strict,kind,grim
Scott:
Irresponsible,careless,
David: Bully, disrespectful, rude, annoying, athletic.
ReplyDeleteSean: Dishonest, rude, athletic, Smart, kind
Mr. McCully: Kind, Caring, shorttempered, Strict, greatfull
Scott: disrespectful, kind, careless, rude, friendly
Yourself: Athletic, Funny, Rude, careless, Smart!
@mrcheney one thing scott did that really stood out to me was how he normally took out a cigarette and began smoking on school grounds and offered Sean one as well
ReplyDeleteMyself:nice,giving,religious
ReplyDeleteDavid:temperamental,athletic,impatient,smart,self-governing
ReplyDeleteSean:confident,trouble maker,diminutive,sterotype
Mr.McCully:critical,fair,tough,strong-minded,good principal
Scott:irresponsible,Dumb,stupid,slapdash
myslef:hard working,love to laugh,sensitive,forgive and forget at times,love to dance
ReplyDelete@Mr. Cheney i think the mistake Scott made was of taking those cigarettes just to act cool is not a reason to do something horrible like this especially at this age.I understand of people that work they have stress but like cool ?? that word doesn't and shouldn't exist at school because no one is too cool for someone else. IF WE ALL ARE HUMANS AND SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME THEN WHY SHOULD ONE PERSON BE COOLER THAN THE OTHER?? all i am trying to say is he has know sense he doesn't use his brain.The mistake Scott made was in trying to be cool he forgot to use his knowledge and brain there are so many other ways to be cool smoking harms him !
ReplyDeleteRemember McCully is the VP!
ReplyDeletewhy have so many people come to like and appreciate Mr. McCully. He grabbed Sean by the arm and dragged him up, yelled and belittled him and you claim he is a good Principal.
If our Principal yelled at you in the hall ways would you say to yourself "great principal"
as well isn't Scott they type of Student everybody wants to hang out with? yet you all torch him and call him stupid and dumb.
Is this another example of you staying on your island of whats right and wrong in the world of text!
@Sonali: yea i know Mr.McCully was hard to figure out because he wasn't really in the book much unlike Sean and David. Lets say the story wasn't really about Mr.McCully.
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney people are liking Mr.McCully because Sean wanted the kids to be proof and then Mr.McCully agreed and investigated so that's one point the other one is instead of calling Sean's parents he became fair and gave him an option i think no other vp in the real world will actually accommodate with the student once the vp choice is final its final
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney why would someone want to hang out with a young guy that smokes isn't that bad for all of us, 2nd hand smoking?? don't we learn NOT to do that in school in the REAL world?? Like really what will Scott get out of smoking?? we might be cool then he will go to high school and then college and then even maybe university or as he is right now i think he might just drop out thats my REAL opinion
ReplyDeleteScott might have told Sean and David to stop BIG WHOOP! pretend i was a mean bully i said to stop to one person just cause i said it once doesn't mean im such a nice person maybe i said stop just to get the attention of the person so i can talk to her about something
ReplyDelete@ Mr. Cheney Your correct I agree
ReplyDelete@ Aqib I wouldn't want to have a VP like McCully
ReplyDelete@ Mr.Cheney would you hang out with a guy who tries to influence you into smoking especially at this age? I don't understand who would I mean won't you try to avoid trouble. Sounds like you your okay with Scott's actions.
ReplyDeleteDavid:Confident,double-sided,Helpful,Daring,Moody.
ReplyDeleteSean:Confident,Confused,Aggressive,Vengeful,Daring
MrMcully:Reasonable,Mean,Questioning,Careful,Confident
Scott:SelfConfident,Stupid,Wannabe,Mean,Untrustworthy
Me:Daring,Creative,Goofy,Smart,Helpful
@ Prabhjot I think he would be jealous as we read on. I was just predicting.
ReplyDelete@ Abeenash, my feelings have not been revealed. I take an opposing perspective to generate conversation and make you think from a variety of perspectives.
ReplyDelete@ Tushar If McCully is reasonable how can he be mean or the other way around?
ReplyDelete@ Mr.Cheney haven't you already read the book?
@ Mr.Cheney so would you hang out with Scott?
ReplyDelete@ Abeenash Good point he probably might become jealous if David and Sean practice and become really good and go to the tryouts and they make it and Scott Doesn't.
ReplyDeleteHe would be mean if there was a biased thought in Mr Mcully's mind, for example he felt sorry for David so he Punished Sean, as if David wasn't in a wheel chair he would be reasonable and listen to Sean and put the blame on David.
ReplyDeleteSorrry it was to Abeenash
ReplyDelete@ donna
ReplyDeletewhat is happening to lisa happened to me on my laptop it wouldnt let me comment
so i had to go on my computer or my ipod
tell lisa to try on another device...
it might help
@ abeeshan good question!
ReplyDeletelets ask mrcheney some questions !!!!!!!
@ mrcheney good point...
ReplyDeletei still think McCully isnt the "best" VP
certainly not my favourite...
and the reason i think Scott is so stupid and dumb is because who in their right minds start smoking, especially a guy in grade 8!
and i wouldnt want to hang out with him...
first of all, the smoking thing,
second he gets into way too much trouble
and i dont want him to be an influence to amke me start smoking and getting into a lot of trouble

ReplyDeleteI still stand by for the answer i gave......that i wouldn't want a vp like Mr.McCully because first of all he drags students. What kind of student would want to be draged? BY THEIR VP! Second of all even if u were telling the truth McCully would probably not believe u because either u probably get into trouble alot, or McCully/ur vp feels srry for the disable person u were fighting with, OR he just doesn't believe u because he probably thinks that ur just trying to find an excuse to get urself out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteDavid: talented,skillful,two-faced(sometimes),smart and moody
ReplyDeletegood you still have the passion to stick to your answer. Even more important you know and understand the opposing position and can defend your view against it. It makes your views even stronger, when you can defend them against other ones.
ReplyDeleteSean: judgemental,smart,confused,brave and a little bad
ReplyDeleteScott: bad,nub,mean,foolish,dumb
I have no clue about y people are calling scott dumb and stupid because like isn't he the one who tried to stop Sean from getting into a fight?! AND just because he is smoking at this age doesn't mean he is stupid.
ReplyDeleteIf u step out of ur island then don't u think that in the real world most grd 8's start smoking just to look cool or to give it a shot? So then why are u calling him stupid? HE IS ALSO ONE OF HOSE KIDS!
In the real world this is a fact, in our island this is all just stupid. We usally think that everything is stupid/wrong in our island world, but if u step out of there then u will notice UR WRONG!
It's weird how we always think we're right in our island world but when we take a look of the outside world we just noticed that we can't always be right.
Scott just took the wrong path of his life and all he needs is a little help to get back on his feet and start walking. All he needs is a friend who will guide him the right way! JUST LIKE ANY OTHER NORMAL PERSON WOULD !!!!!!
It is very rare to get a vp who actually listens to u and believes u and i think McCully isn't that kind of a Vprinciple.
ReplyDelete@neha i think McCully just wanted to prove himself right cuz i bet most kids are scared of Mr.McCully because they might be thinking that if they support Sean, and prove McCully wrong then THEY might get in trouble.
Just because he gave Sean a chance to prove himself innocent doesn't mean that Mr.McCully is suddenly NOW THE BEST VICE-PRINCIPLE EVER?! So you c McCully could be doing this all for a reason..........................................
@ cookies and milk A.K.A eden ( so obvious lolz ) Scott: NUB????????????????? OK!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney why don't i ask U some questions (im getting kind of bored answering questions now i will question ppl) So did you think that Scott is stupid or dumb why or why not? I SOUND LIKE A TEACHER THERE LOLZ
ReplyDeleteGreat comment that McCully only gave Sean a chance because he thought he would only find more proof how guilty he was!
ReplyDelete@ Mr.Cheney thank you
ReplyDelete@ cookies and milk :D
ReplyDeleteHow is SEAN judgemental?
I thought McCully was?!
lol wow sonali ur a commenting like fire UR HIGH RITE? :P
ReplyDelete@sonali he is a little judge mental because just because David is in a wheelchair he thinks David cant play basketball
ReplyDeleteWow nice
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of good points sonali
@eden so ur saying he is judgemental because just because David is in a wheelchair Sean thinks that he can't play basketball. That's a pretty good comment
