  1. Chapter 11,
    It’s a sad chapter because it talks about Mikey’s funeral. Teri should go to anger management class or something. The girl nearly destroyed her house, or she did destroy her house. Sometimes when were in a situation like Teri’s we should learn how to control ourselves, damaging property won’t do us any better. Teri has major issues, I understand her brother died, however Mikey would’ve wanted her to stay in their new house instead of breaking it down. I feel bad for Kate when she tries her best to stop Teri; she just pushes her away and makes things worse. Another issue Teri has is she smokes too much…maybe it’s to take away her stress, but she shouldn’t do it like that. I notice that Teri’s mom doesn’t really pay attention to her, I feel sorry for her. Teri and Mrs.Litch should bond and get closer since they are all that they have left.

  2. Teri has gone bolistic! She needs to seek someone that can calm her down, its tough, we all know, but shes only hurting herself. I know Mikey wants what is best for her. He probably wants her to stop smoking, bullying, stealing.. etc. I guess Teri just turned out to be like that due to her father is abusive and her mother seems like she dont give a damn. It all starts from what you learn at home. So in this chapter, It kind of filled my eyes with tear when it was refering to Mikeys feuneral. Teri was so frustrated, she could've broke her house and still be frustrated. Maybe she should consider changing her ways, and coping with her life as it goes on. Or no, not MAYBE... SHE SHOULD!

  3. It’s a sad chapter because it talks about Mikey’s funeral. So….sad…when I was young, funeral was very good. Because there is no school and all time is free so I like funeral….when I was young…but…now…if someone got accident or dead. I am really so sad.... I think Mikey’s funeral is sad. Because Mikey’s friend and family is really sad because of mikey’s dead. Specially family is sad…..when I was in middle school. My father’s second big brother was dead so….my father and cousin and our family was very sad….for my second big father dead. So, this chapter is really sad. My feel is sad too. I think human’s die and human’s born is relative to the life. People is born baby is really happy but if your relative person die, it is really sad. So, I think person sometimes happy but sometime unhappy.

  4. In my opinion, chapter 11 was so sad because it was all about Mikey’s funeral. I think that Teri is really going crazy. I think that she needs help, but she won’t let anyone help her. I really think that she needs someone to talk to her so that she won’t do anything worse. I also think that she needs anger management. I feel really bad for Kate because she tries to lend a hand to Teri, but all she does is push Kate away, and it only makes things worse. I think that Teri should stop smoking and drinking or whatever because it won’t help her.

  5. It’s unfortunate that Teri’s son Mikey died. I did a little research and found out that Mikey is Teri’s son after all. All because Teri’s father raped her and that’s when Mikey was born. Her pain must be intense, ever since she got raped, and even receiving no sort of care from her mother. It’s very saddening and traumatic for Teri to go through all of the things. Now I regret saying that Kate’s actions were justified, because Teri went through so much. More than Kate can ever imagine, but only if she knew she would try harder to comfort Teri. She shouldn’t judge Teri; she has yet to understand what she’s been through so far. The story is beginning to add up and I just may finish the book already.

  6. Chapter 11…Mikey’s funeral, everyone is in sorrow especially, Teri’s family. Even Kate was sad that he couldn’t speak up for few minutes front of the people. After the funeral Teri took Kate’s car to the house, and when Kate arrived, Teri was smashing her house with the sledgehammer. She should know that it is useless to smash her house. I understand how she feels, but smashing her own house isn’t going to make any difference to her life. Poor Teri, her life isn’t getting worse, like it is end of the world for her. Right know she needs someone to rely on.

  7. Mikey died and...his mother..Teri just lost her control. She smashed and crushed the house and equipments. It is sad and feel hopeless about Teri's misery but...Im worrying that might bring more calamity in herself. She might end up with dangerous incidents. She thinks she is independent and pretentios. Therefore, it is hard for her to ask for help to people whom she does not believe and trust.
    but in my opinion..this is the time when she can find someone who can be there for Teri...and that person can be KATE. It seems like Kate wants to help Teri from the bottom of her heart.. Maybe this can bring some relief..

  8. i wish i was in this chapter right here.man, Teri is breaking their new house down, which is very wrong to do.Ms Litch should get Teri a counselor, or someone to help her out.i kind of figured that Teri and Mickey are really close becasue Ms. Litch doesnt care about Teri.i mean, thats how it sounds to me. Kate is such a good person, she tries to stop Teri, but Teri just pushes her off, it isnt something to do to someone whos been there for you from the start.its really sad.Teri needs alot of help

  9. I don't know what feeling i have in the chapter 11, i don't know what i can say about... I'm so sad, yes, whoever.. who like to read a sad end or something else..i just wish Kate, Teri, and someone else would be good. I know what Teri feel, and anyone who care or love Teri. Kate a good girl. A girl who always hard to try to help anyone who he cares. In my opinion, i just wish Kate with Teri the heart close together.

  10. Chapter eleven was all about Mikey’s funeral. I think that Teri is really going crazy and she needs help but she won’t let anyone help her. Teri doesn’t need to take her anger out on the house. What she should do is take anger management classes. I understand how she feels but destroying her own house isn’t going to fix anything. I really feel sorry for everyone because they can’t help Teri with her loss, they can’t bring Mikey back, all they can do is sit next to Teri and support whatever she is doing. I think Teri is scared to let people in because they might know more than they already know, like how Teri’s father raped her and got her pregnant. Poor Teri.

  13. There are some products in the market that help in reducing the risk of overheating of a CPU. The Arctic Cooling �Freezer 7 Pro� for instance is able to �transfer heat up to 200 watts�.

  14. Thermalright AXP-140 HTPC CPU Cooler Intel� cools the CPU surroundings to �create a general reduction in temperature inside [the] computer�. Whatever kind of product that keeps the temperature of the CPU in check and cools it down will help in prolonging the the life of the CPU and reduce the risk of damage.

  15. Searching for the critical temperature of the kind of CPU installed in the computer in question is as easy as going to the manufacturer�s website.

  16. The coding sheet of the manufacturer shows the temperature more often than not.. The coding is not universal, it is manufacturer specific. Each of the CPU manufacturers have their own data sheet and will not be the same as another manufacturer..
