    Chapter 1
    I think this book is going to be about this boy, who’s known as Tree in school that will be dealing with peer pressure. He is in the seventh grade so I think that it’s going to be difficult for him especially when he’s in middle school. I remember recalling back in middle school, I had some friends that wanted to fit in with the popular ones by fighting in school or doing drugs and all just to fit in with the crowd. I think that this book will be a little different from my experience. I think that Tree will be having problems with making friends in school especially when his parents are divorced and that every other week he has to go to his mom’s house or his dad’s house. Somewhere in the mid-chapter, it sort of talked about Tree’s past on how he had this name calling which is how he got his name “Tree”. I have a feeling that, somewhere in the end, Tree is going to be well known for something that he will do and that will make him even happier than now.

    The main character of this book is Tree. His real name is Sam, but people call him Tree because of his height. At the beginning of the book, I was able to tell that Tree is not really living a normal life. His parents are divorced and there’s so much he has to do. He has to fill out forms and he has to live with a different parent every month. As I compare Tree with Amy, I think they’re similar, but different. Amy was bright and seemed rude sometimes because she was so truthful to her feelings. I think Tree would be more quiet and a person who doesn’t say much about his feelings. They are similar in the way that they both think they’re left alone, and they’ve been hurt because of family issues. I think this story would be the process of how Tree fight for his problems.

    I think he is a transfer student from another school and his first day was kind of nonsense because they kept asking all this info about his personal life like who is his custodian and who does he live with and all those personal info that they need for him to attend school there.
    So one day he was trying to imitate those street performers, like the one in new York and one of those people passed by and it was the lady who really likes his grandfather and he had a story about his grandfather that he would always hide whenever she came or passes by.

    Chapter 1
    I thought that the beginning was going to be awesome but sorry, I was wrong; it was boring! It's about this boy who has some personal problems and the people are very ignorant of feelings. I kind of felt sorry for that dude who kept getting a lot of forms from that lady, I wanted to show her a thing or two about how kids act these days. I guess I know that he’s been going through tough time since his own parents are divorced and yet they take care of him separately as if they were still together. I wonder how a guy like him will have many friends if his nickname doesn’t seem to match up to higher standards of the popular people. Oh well, I’m going to read more about this in the next chapter.

    I think that this book is going to be about this boy named Sam, who is a transfer student from another school that will be dealing with a lot of peer pressure. He is also known as tree because of height. He is the tallest boy in the 7th grade. I think that it would be really difficult for him because his parents are divorced and he has a lot of things to do. He has to fill out a lot of forms about where he's going to be living at because he's living with a different parent every month.

    I think this book is all about Sam, who is more likely known as Tree. People call him Tree because of his height. Tree is the tallest boy in 7th grade. His parents are divoeced. And I think it would be really sad and difficult that he must do everything by himself.
