    Chapter 3
    When I finish chapter three, my feeling is so complicated, it is about happy and uneasy, because when Sam knows his ex-girlfriend also join to party, and I think when Sam go to join, he just knows may have something will be to happen. When he seeing her, they both talk about sorry to each other; stop here, I’m felt so glad, because they would like to admit mistake, and when they went to Sam house, and then, they happen about sexual, from here, I don’t know what feel am I have, because this feels so complicated.

    Chapter 3
    I think it was alright for Sam to go to the party. It seems like its been so long since he's gone out. Im happy for him. But I was kind of shocked when I read that every eight seconds a teenage boy thinks of sex. I think thats cheezy! Anyways getting the problem solved with Brittany was a really good idea. I think something sexual might have when on though during the time spent at Sams crib with Brittany. Im thinking thats what happen. It doesnt feel all that right though. Makes me wonder where Max might be at.

    This part is about Sam's past story.

    I think Andy really likes Sam. And play with him out side. But Sam doesn't want to move

    This chapter showed the most common human nature of teenagers’ curiosity. I could see that not only teenagers but also everyone can be seduced by temptations of sexual relationship. I realized how hard it might be to restrain and suppress the impulse when only two teenagers are there in an isolated place. It is common sense that teenagers are not controllable when it comes to sexual temptation. And the incident Sam was involved showed exactly what it is like to be in an age of adolescence while so many allurements are going on such as having partying or a relationship.

    Chapter 3:

    This chapter was really confusing for me. I was a little bit confused when I started to read this chapter. I was confused because at first, it started off with Sam having a son named Max, and now he doesn’t even have a kid. What the heck kind of book is this?! I think this is one of those kinds of books where the author goes back and forth. Like back to the past and then back to the future. I’m not sure I like these kinds of books that where the author goes back and forth. It makes me kind of angry because once it gets to a really interesting part, it goes back to the future, or back to the past.

    Sam’s friend Andy tried to take Sam to the Friday night Party. Of course, any teenager would go out to the party if they have an opportunity, but Sam’s situation is different, he can’t just leave Max alone in the house. Sam probably wanted to spend Friday night with his best friend, but Sam had another anxiety, and I think it was about Sam’s girl friend, Brittany Ames, because it seem like they had a small fight in the past. But they apologize to each other at the party and I think Sam is happy, because he has one less concern to worry about.

    Chapter three, I notice Sam isolates himself from his friends. His friend Andy calls him to come to a party at first he refuses, but later he goes. I just found out that Sam has a girl! What?! And they haven’t been talking for days because they got into an argument. I think Sam is stubborn. He should be the man and say sorry. Towards the end of chapter three, Britney and Sam are having an intimate moment. Honestly I dislike this chapter because the book always reminisces a lot and I get confused whether they are repeating, happening, or already passed.

    I want to find out if Brittany Ames is the mother of Max. Funny in this chapter they say that men think about sex every 8 seconds, I think not, well, maybe. It shows what will happened at the end. A lil R rated, but yeah beats sitting on the couch watching MTV! I'm sure he was glad he went to the party.

    Ch. 3
    Sam was sitting on the couch. Then his father leaves the house. A moment later his friend Andy comes over and asks him to go to the party at Melissa Talbots place .But then Sam still sits at the chair and lies to Andy that he is busy. Before Sam used to always go out on Friday nights. But now, he just stays home. Sam and his girlfriend haven’t been talking. So Andy says that Jenny said for Sam too say sorry. Sam is not that person that would say sorry to someone. Then Sam’s hunger starts again. After he sees someone frying onions on T.V. Then Andy talks about a girl named Claire Bailey But looks like that name doesn’t ring a bell.

    Chapter 3
    I think that Sam is in love and he really wants to get things settle between him and his girlfriend. I also think that he is living in a boring life and he is really afraid to mess things up between him and his girlfriend. I could tell that he felt really good about hooking back up with his girlfriend. I think that now he could live an easier life because he has fewer problems to worry about.

    Sam has gets flashbacks on how things use to be when he hasn’t had Max yet, high school, his sophomore year. I can kind of relate to this chapter because I too have a boyfriend that I fight with sometimes. Our relationship is kind of like Sam and Brittany’s relationship. They both really love each other and they both got in a huge fight. Although Sam had loved someone else since the sixth grade and me or my significant other both love only each other. I and my boyfriend’s relationship are like theirs because even if they get into huge fights they can always forgive each other. Also sometimes we are both too stubborn to see that it’s not the other person’s fault but our own fault.

    in this chapter it show how it all started well not all of the story. This chapter is alittle funny. I somewhat agree about the fact about how guys think about sex every 8 second. well some guy could think about sex everytime. Has for Sam sex isn't a big deal for him which is so cool about him. His the type wouldn't think about sex ontill it happens. I'm guessing he wasn't think stright about everything that happening in that moment. Well this part disappoint me alot about Sam. He should think twice about bring britteny to his place. You know if his friend Andy didn't force him to go to that stupid party, i bet you his life wouldn'y be like this and that he'll have a good time with his friend. Rather then just sitting with his a baby in his arm. But his still an amazing dad that he stay through it all. Not like other guys out there that will just ditch..

    I think this chapter is cool for him because he got what he was waiting for a long time and I give him props for that but he should of think before what he did and look what happen now he has a baby that has no mom to help support him and now it is only Sam that has that is taking care luckily he has a father that can help him with money and food to help grow the baby. I think that what you get when you don’t think before what you do or what you say.

    Chapter 3
    When you are a parent, I know that “party- ing” is the last thing on your mind. But sometimes, there’s just someone that will try to convince you to go to one. Sam is being influenced by his friend, Andy to go to this party where Claire Bailey, whose Sam’s biggest crush, is going too. Anyways he went and, instead, he met up with, oh my gosh, Max’s mother, Brittany Ames. Finally! I’ve been longing to know who Max mother is. She was going to give up Max but Sam was willing to take the responsibility and raise him up by himself. Can you imagine that! He is willing to raise this child without the help of the mother. Sam is so loving and caring. However, they left the party together and went to his house and actually made out. I thought he doesn’t want to deal with her anymore. I think it’s hard for him because, maybe, she was his first lover. Nevertheless, I think that Sam is easily tempted.
