Theme I think the theme of the story is that you shouldn't judge a person by what they look like or what they do. Because even if they look like a monstrosity it doesn't mean they are, because they always have lots of good deep inside them.

__My Prediction__ My prediction for the story is that Bradley is the new kid in Red Hill School. I think that Bradley will go into the girls bathroom.

__Story Journal__ In chapter one Bradley went to school and had no friends. Then a new kid named Jeff from Washington DC came into the classroom to the front of the room and didn't say a thing, but Mrs. Ebbel told him to go sit next to Bradley in the back of the room. Then, at lunch Jeff ran up to Bradley and said hi. After school Bradley ran up to Jeff and said if you take this dollar I'll be your friend, and Jeff took the dollar. In chapter two, tomorrow was parents conference day and Bradley lied to Mrs. Ebbel about telling his mom about parents conference day. His teacher told him to tell his mom about the new counselor. Bradley then lied and said they have met at the bowling alley, if you don't believe me call the bowling alley. In chapter three, Bradley came home from school and smelled fish, but he hated fish. Then he went up to his room and played with his collection of toy animals. During dinner his mother asked him why didn't you tell me that parents conference day was tomorrow at eleven. Then, Bradley got really nervous and lied, because you promised that you would take me to the zoo tomorrow at eleven. In chapter four, Bradleys mom drove to Bradleys classroom and looked around and saw that none of the A+ papers on the wall had Bradleys name on them. __Journal Writing__ Tonight at dinner my dad asked my mom, "So,how did the meeting go." Mom said "fine",I was so glad to here that and so was dad. My mom said that I was going to see Mrs. Carla Davis tomorrow, I was so mad that she said that so I remarked that I would never go but she made me. My mom said "You either go to the new counselor or go to military school." My mom kept on saying go to mrs. davis go." So I finally said fine, I'll go to her. Chapters 6-10 Jeff was going to see Mrs. Davis but he was lost. He saw a teacher and asked where the counselors office was. She said that it was down the hall turn right and it's the third door on your left. Jeff followed the instructions and when he opened the door he saw a girl and she yelled, there's a boy in the girls bathroom! Jeff ran way and saw an open door, he ran in. It was the counselor Mrs. Davis. Jeff and Mrs. Davis had a conversation and then Jeff headed back to the classroom. Mrs. Ebbel was teaching geography and everybody had a map on their desks. Bradleys was different from all the others, California was above Wisconsin and Florida stuck out of Texas! Bradley had a hall pass when a teacher came up to him and said Bradley Chalkers, where are you going. I said I was going to the library. Bradley lied, really he was going to the counselors office.Bradley walked into the counselors office and saw Mrs. Carla Davis, Bradley was amazed by how young and pretty she was. Carla started asking Bradley if he liked things like milk and he would always say no I hate milk. Chapters 11-15 Bradley was always asking Jeff when we would go into the girls bathroom because Bradley wanted to go in there. Jeff made Bradley like school because Jeff was encouraging Bradley to enjoy school.Bradley walked over to Mrs. Carla Davis. She was waiting for Bradley in the hallway. She said It's a pleasure to see you today. She always says that.Bradley and Carla talked about Bradley being friends with Jeff and how this afternoon that he was going over to Jeff's house to do homework with him. Chapters 16-20 Jeff and Bradley ate lunch together at the side of the building where no where would bother them. Then Jeff said I need to go to the bathroom. Bradley asked which one of the bathrooms are you going to, and Jeff replied the boys one. When Bradley was in class everything returned to normal, he cut up pieces of paper and taped them together. Bradley then started walking over to Carla's room and on his way he walked past the girls bathroom, he shook his head and laughed at himself then ,walked away. Chapters 21- 25 When Bradley walked in Carla's office she said again, "Hello Bradley, It's a pleasure to meet you today." Bradley told Mrs. Carla Davis that he wanted to hit somebody and when she asked why he replied because I hate everybody. When Bradley left he started working on a list of topics to discuss with Carla the next time he saw her. Here are some of the tings that were on his list: Trees that lose their leaves, gold stars, and chalk.Bradley and Jeff both had black eyes. When Bradley looked at Jeff, Jeff told him to turn around. Robbie and all the other friends of Jeff said to Bradley that they would beat him up after school because they thought that Bradley beat Jeff up. Chapters 26-30 When Bradley was done with school he somehow slipped home with his homework without being spotted by Jeff's gang. When Bradley got home he started doing his homework. When he was done his handwriting was very messy because he wrote with a dull pencil on a very soft bed. Chapters 31-35 Bradley was reading at home when Ronnie asked what he was doing. Bartholomew said he was reading and he thinks hes to good for us.The next day Bradley went to school and paid close attention to Mrs Ebbel while she was teaching arithmetic's. When Bradley got home his father taught him how to dribble with a basketball so he could get better. Chapters 36-40 Bradley was walking to Carla's office and he giggled as he walked there. Carla was waiting for Bradley in the hallway and when she was about to say what she usually said Bradley said, "Hi Carla it's a pleasure to meet you." Then they started talking about a shower curtain that Carla bought yesterday.Then, Carla said that she was having a meeting with the parents of children who were meeting Carla and she said that they didn't like what Carla was telling them. Carla meet with the parents after school in Room 8. The parents started questioning her about what she was telling their children because one of them said that their child told them that homework didn't matter. After the meeting Carla came to Bradley and told him that she was leaving and going to a different school. Then Bradley stormed out of the room and said, "I hate you Carla!" Chapters 41-45 When Bradley came home he tried to write a letter to Carla. But the words he tried to write hadn't even been invented. Bradley crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash can. Just then Ronnie came along singing, "Doo-dee-doo-dee." The other animals were there and Bartholomew said, "Ronnie, we like you the best and I want you to marry me." Then, Jeff came over to Bradley's house. Jeff was taking Bradley to Colleen's party. Jeff got Bradley and they started walking over to Colleen's party. Bradley was scared because he hadn't been to a birthday party in years. 46-47 When Bradley and Jeff got to Colleen's birthday party, Colleen's mother told them to get in partners for a three legged race. Jeff was paired up with Bradley for the tree legged race. After the race it was time for cake, but since Bradley hadn't been to a party in so long he sang, "Hap-py birth-day dear Co- to you. Hap-py virth-day to you. Hap-py birth-day to y- Dar Colleen, Hap-py birth-day dea- to you, Hap-py birthday to." Then Bradley went home and wrote a letter to Carla!
