  2. My role is Text connector, and for teh column of text to world I wrote: It's like a type of ethics. ( Deciding whats rightt or wrong) Sylvester wanting to train baseball with tihs Cheeko guy can be a bit creepy and mysterious. He's a random guy that came out of nowhere and wants to train sylvester. He might be like a "follower" or something. For Text to world

  10. My Role was Literary and Luminary. A couple parts in my book that were Surprising was that Sylvester yelled at one of his best friends. He said: " Get off my back! I can handle my self, so take your stupid stuff and go!" Thats Surprising to me because if my best friend that I knew for a while was showing me his "merchandise", I wouldnt do that. But Snooky, his best Friend, WAs a bit too much on the annoying side.

  11. mt role is text connecter.This book is sort of like my life because i was playing football one day and i was making touchdowns left and right the next day i wasnt doing so well.And it is allso like my life because when cheeko is helping sylvster is reminds me of my mom cause she helps me.This boook reminds me of a movie called angels on the outfield because in the beging the where losing and at the end thay won the world serires and syl wasnt doing so well in the beging but now he is doing good.When syl was playing dirty it reminded me of the ploticans when thay bribe to make people vote for them.

  12. My role was text connector and I said when sylvester said sorry to snooky it reminded me of the story of South Paw because at the end the 2 friends said sorry and made-up.

  13. my book is THE RETURE OF THE HOMERUN KID. i'm describing sylvester as agresive,mean,strong, and athletic because in the book he needs to be agresive at bat and he has been mean to snooky strong to hit homeruns and hes athletic beacuse he plays baseball.

  18. MY ROLE IS TEXT CONNECTOR AND IN THE BOOK MR.BARUTH said that he's doing it wrong and one or two things are right but he was cutting corners and it was the wrong way because taking the short way might be easy but it does not work in the long run you got to push your self and do it right you get father when you do it right like my coach says you push your- self and that will help in the long one not short cut but any one that is reading it may take longer but at least you get it right.I did the short cut and it wasn't good cause I got held back in second grade all cause I thought I was cool trust me I know I get in alot on trouble cause of it just push your- self and make it hurt.

  19. If I was writing when Sylvester hit the ball pitched by steve, I would write: "Here's you're ticket to losing!" Says Steve. "I only have 3 shots at this..." Thought Sylvester. ( Chucks the ball.) "Strike 1!" (Picthes the ball.) SLAP! "The redbrid's fans are on there feet! He's at second, third, HOMERUN! Sylvester runs to the dugout and they throw him in the air.

  20. My role was disscusion director and I asked or said why did Cheeko help Sylvester learn how to play baseball? I also asked that why were Cheko and Mr.baruth fighting during the baseball game instead of chearing on Sylvester on to hit and feild good?

  21. I`m responding to J.Molarek.I feel that you were wrong to say Sylvester was agresive and mean ,because when you get farther into the story you`ll see that Sylvester is sweet,kind,gentle,and down too earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. My roll is Literary Luminary. The best part of the story that I picked was a surprising part. It was when slyvester looked at Babe Ruth's baseball card and found out that he looked like Mr. Baruth. I picked this because it was a main part.

  23. Hi,My book is called Return of the Home Run Kid and my role is Text Connector and for Text-to-Self I used Your own Life and Happenings at School or home.I wrote "I have to write a summary and last night I almost quit.But then I thought of the poster in Mr.Pearson's room of Cal Ripken Jr. and it had the word peserverance and the definition of perserverance.And that's the moral of the whole book.

  24. I`m responding to T.Rivera.I absolutly agree with what you said because if one of my friends was getting on my nerves I would yell and say leave me the heck alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Tristan I'm going to have to disagree because Snooky and Sylvester aren't friends anymore because they barely talk to each other.

  28. I`m responding to B.Moore.I completly understand what your talking about because ounce I was realy good at kicking and anouther I wasn`t.

  29. I'm responding to Chace and I think Cheeko is helping Sylvester because since Cheeko isn't allowed to play baseball anymore he has an excuse to train with him.

  30. I`m responding to $$M.DiNuova$$.I completly agree with you man because when I found out MR.Baruth looked like Babe Ruth I almost jumped out of my socks

  31. my job is artful artist what i did was draw a picture of sylvester holding babe ruths card and and my reason for picking this picture to draw because at the bottom of the picture it said...When Sylvester seen Babe Ruth's card he said that it looked like Mr.Baruth

  32. MY LITERATURE ROLE IS LITERARY LUMINARY AND ONE THING I WROTE ABOUT IS WHEN SYL. ASKED TWO INVITE HIS TWO OLD FRIENDS SNOOKY AND JOYCE TO GO TO DINER WITH HIM. I WAS GLAD TO SEE HIM FRIENDS AGAIN AND NOT SUCH A JERK, LIKE HE USE TO BE.

  33. My role is discussion director.Why do you think that syl. did not what to say how much it hurt when he got hit with the ball?I think that he did not what to tell that he was in a lot of pain because he would be inbarest and get upset or get made fun of.
