Choice of Discription
Again don't read this post if you have not finished your pages
As we all know the author of 'misfits' (James Howe) has a great style of writing, but it is his choice of discription that made me think.I think that the author chose to make joe stariotypicly gay not what every individual gay person, they are all different. That made us as readers think that everybody that was gay in this book was going to be a stariotype ( which is not necessarily good ). THEN he surprised me by telling us Colin was gay. My proof is, ( I don't have any proof this was just a thought ). That surprised us because Colin was (stariotypicly speaking) not gay because Addie thought that he wasn't. We never thought that she was wrong because she is always right. I also think that he had to make joe a stariotype because it made the story a little more interesting because there was no other stariotype gay person. But I thought it was nice that Colin said if he were like joe he would say how he felt I also think joe is a very sweet caracter. Thoughts?

Colin
I have finished reading the pages so if you haven't don't read this post.
The notes in Joe's locker were from Colin not Kelsey. Colin was afraid he was Gay and said if he like Joe he wouldn't be afraid of himself. Colin thought it was pure coincidence that Addie was at the flag pole but Addie thought he knew. Addie thought that all the complements meant that he liked her but she didn't listen to him when he didn't want to go to the dance with her or go for ice cream. My proof is on page 212 when she says " I mean, isn't it obvious we are going to the dance together?" I think that she is taking advantage of his nice-ness. I think that Addie was also taking advantage of bobby because she wants to get Colin on the ballot but really she wanted to see him. My proof is when bobby says that you can't say no to Addie. So I'm guessing she is really intimidating. Thoughts?

DuShawn Carter part 2
I have read all the Misfits pages so if you have NOT finished them to I recommend you not read this post.
I find it weird how DuShawn shows Addie his affection by embarrassing her in front of everyone. At the end of the book he asks her to the dance. He pelts her with spit balls and puts whoopee cushions on her chair when really he was trying to get her attention. My proof is on page 21 "Who has put the whoopee cushion on her chair. I mean DuShawn Carter." And then he asks her to the dance. Skeezie also knows that DuShawn carter likes Addie. Skeezie is always saying that he will find love but really he can see things before other people. Thoughts?

No Name Party
There has been a change in the story and now it is the No Name Party. I think that the No Name Party goes two ways.
1 Don't call people names and they want to spread the message. Because they have been called names and they know it hurts and what it is like to be in the base-ment of the popularity house ( good mediphor eh? I made it up ) so they want to tell people what they feel like.
2 The " No Name Party" they are technecly not allowed to HAVE a third party so they named it the "No Name Party" so nobody can tell them they can't do it. They started with signs and then went to posters and then put there names on it so everyone was talking about and they would be so popular ( not necessarelly in a good way ) They can't just shut it down ( like Mr B said they now have POWER! ) so I think that is a pretty smart move.
I think that Bobby should be the president of the "No Name Party" because in my opinion he feels the most hurt by these names. joe /jodan/scorpio can have the creative-ness to avoid it addie is not afraid. My proof is "She's not afraid of anything. Not even the names people call her" and skeezie is ... occupied? He just doesn't mind people that are rude he knows his true friends but bobby is having trouble and if people could see him he could earn respect. And finally the slogen, " Sticks and stones may break our bones but names will break our spirit" It makes you think you know? I am really thinking so ya. Any thoughts?

Misfits
One question is why did Dushawn get to prove himself so people didn't judge him but not the misfits? Any thoughts?
Also who is your favourite misfit? mine is skeezie. I like him because he is looking for love, but he can't find any so he is helping a friend aka Addi with HER love problemsand i think he is a good guy.
