LOSER

the graduation

In the book Loser, Donald Zinkoff is still becoming older and having all his young characteristics taken away.  In the part that I'm at now, Donald is now graduating elementary school.  He is very exited and cant wait till the graduation.  So at the graduation, Zinkoff is in his hat and gown and is waiting for his name to be called.  He is so nervous for the weirdest reason.  His nervous because he thinks that his parents wont clap for him as he walks.  He notices that all the other kids are getting cheered and he notices the whistles and the claps.  He finally gets to his name and he did not stand.  He completely forgot about him.  The man soon said his name again and then Zinkoff sprained into action and was ready for the walk.  He then notices that his parents don't yell for him and he is sad.  Then out of nowhere he here's "GO DONALD" He was so happy that his little sister was cheering for him.  He was SO happy.  He was as happy as a man winning the lottery.  He felt like he was the most important man in the world and he was getting a big prize for completing Elementary school. 

best friend

In the book Loser, the kid Zinkoff is still becoming interesting and really wondering about himself.  Zinkoff is now in 6th grade.  One day in school Zinkoff has to take a test on the basic thinks about his mental and physical health.  Some of the questions are like Do you like your class?  Do you like your classmates?  Do you play outside a lot?  Zinkoff was zooming through the test until he got to one question.  Who is your best friend?  He is very confused on this question because he looks around the room and says to himself, I don't have a best friend.  He soon finds A kid that could potentially be his friend.  He wrote on the blank that kids name.  After the test was over he went up to that kid and was asking him who he chose for his best friend.  The kid said that he did not have one so he just left the blank blank.  Zinkoff soon said that they could be best friends.  After this day at school Zinkoff was very excited to be new friends with the kid.  he spent lots of time with him and played lots of things with him.  He also went over to his house multiple times.  This friend that Zinkoff had now was just as odd as Zinkoff.  he has his own collection of ear wax that he plans to make a candle out of.  Zinkoff really likes this so he really likes his new best friend. 

three articles

In the three articles that I read,  There were lots of things that I agreed with and there were some thing that I disagreed with.  Some of these things were like the kid these days don't get outside enough.  I agreed with this statement because every where that I go, Somebody has a iPhone or an ipad.  I think that the kids in our generation need to drop the phones and do what they did back in the day.  Like play outside with friends or play a board game.  I think that one day all this technology will go to our heads and we will have to suffer from it.  One thing that I disagreed with was I think that there are still lots of people that dress really nice to go to places.  Maybe not on a plane trip but definitely to a nice dinner and to a wedding.  Me and my family always dress nice when we go to nice restaurants and go to nice parties.

Zinkoff is being interesting

In the story, Loser, Donald Zinkoff, is a very interesting kid.  He is not like other kids where they like to go home and just sit down and watch TV.  This kid loves to be at school and loves to get in trouble and loves to have all the attention.  Zinkoff is very different because his stomach is flipped upside down causing him to puke a lot.  At the point that I'm at in the book right now,  Zinkoff has gotten surgery to fix the flipped stomach issue.  He is now at home wishing that he could go to school.  He even sometimes tries to sneak out of the house to go to school.  This is how much he loves school.  He says that he is very tired of not going to school so he says that he just has to bring the school to him.  He tells himself that he will have a test.  The test is he has to go down into the cellar of the basement.  He is very afraid of the basement cellar.  Everyday he tries to go down the steps a little bit farther before he hits the bottom.     

donald zinkoff

I'm reading the book Loser by Jerry Spinelli.  Donald Zincoff is a very interesting person.  he goes around think that everything is fun and cool.  He likes the rain storms for the sole purpose of the sound and smell of the rain hitting the ground.  He likes his teacher yelling at him because he is getting all the attention.  He also wants to be just like his dad and be a mailman.  He bugs his dad untill he finally says that he can take him to work.  his dad is lieing to him though.  He does this because he would get fired if he would take his son to work.  So what he does is he makes all these fake letters and he says that they will go deliver the mail sunday.  This is a mistake because the mail is sent on tuesday.  So his dad takes him through the whole trip telling him all the adive and little tid bits for becoming a mailman.  I think this is very cool because this is quality bonding time for him and his dad.  Zincoff also loves to play soccer.  He is so energized that he will try to make the ball into any of the goals.  He will try to make it in his own goal.  He is only in the 2nd grade though. 

loser

I recently started a new book that is called Loser. This book I think will be good because it talks about a kid who has very good manners, and is very interested in school.  I can relate to this character because I also have good manners and I am interested in school for the most part.  This book will be good for me because it seems that I will understand what the character will go through because he has some of the same qualities as me.  One prediction that I have for this book is I think that he will get made fun of or he will lose interest in school and want to just stay home and play video games all day long.  I think this because he seems like he would get hurt by other people easy.  He also seems like he doesn't care about something for very long.  This book Will be interesting to me because i like to read about people who succeed in life and like to over come there problems without trying to dodge them.
