Kairas Lyrics

Here is the Lyrics I chose

A sad circus clown who has hopes to inspire

The love of the long haired, blue -spangled trapeze highflyer,

Kicks off  his floppy shoes and changes attire,

Just like Clark Klent, or Tobey Maguire,

And goes up the circus ladder, higher and higher, 

'Cause a clown is she would never admire,

But there ain't no net beneath the high wire.

Nearing the top, he starts to perspire.

He's climbing out of the frying pan and into the fire!

I think that the author is trying to describe what armpits getting himself into. He has a choice to see Kaira or or give felix and moses the letter. If he doesn't give them the letter they will turn him but he goes to see Kaira and things might start getting pretty ugly for him.

Would I like being a Music Star

From what we have already read I wouldn't really like being and rock star. Traveling from place to place sounds really exhausting and I would be really bored. I wouldn't get to see my friends a lot and I would like having breaks. When you are famous every one is waiting for you to mess up and if you do witch everyone does it will be in the magazines and stuff and people would think differently of you. I would not like to be a rock star.

Armpit/Theodore

Armpit is my favorite character in the book Small Steps. The reason why I like him is because he has changed since he came back from camp green lake. He has become more mature and is has already planned a way to get his life back on track, by taking small steps. He also helps Ginny out and becomes her friend even if she has a disability. He is very kind and really cares about other people. 

Armpits Experience At the Police Station

When armpit and x-ray both went to the police station X-Ray was the one who got interviewed. Armpit got to sit on the other side of the mirror and hear everything that the detective and X-Ray were saying. When X-Ray was asked questions that he had to lie to Armpit would think "Please don't say anything stupid." When the interview was over I think the detective believed both of them. But I think Armpit got pretty nervous when X-Ray was making the lies. They would be in a lot of trouble him X-ray said something really stupid.

Small Steps

The book we have been reading as a class is called Small Steps Luis Sachar. It is about a 16 year old boy named Armpit and he is trying to get life back on track. He went to Camp Green Lake which is a juvenile facility for about a year. He had to dig a hole every day. First you may want to know how he got the nickname armpit. Well he was digging a hole when a scorpion stung him in the arm but the pain traveled up his arm and settled in his armpit. He complained about so everyone started to call him that. The pain went away but the name stuck.

So any way, after he came back he got a job and he has five steps for himself. One of his steps was to save his money. And that brings us to his friend X-Ray. He drops by his house to tell him his get rich quick scam.
