Marie separates the papers into 3 sections. After tidying up the papers her place looks so much cleaner now we could see her furniture. It looks so much different than before Marie started helping Chiaki out cleaning her place. Then they find a bunch of useless stuff Chiaki had laying around and throw it all out. Next they head on to the sentimental stuff...

They continue with books, Chiaki has a lot of books. Theres this book Chiaki wants to keep because it brings her so much joy even though she has already read it. Kondo lets her keep it because it belongs in her hall of fame and she adds that she should treasure it. Next they continue with papers her place still looks messy because of the papers she has tons of piles of useless papers.

Marie tells Chiaki to hang her clothes so they rise to the right she adds that doing so will bring more joy to the clothes. Chiaki bumps into her neighbor again she accidentally tell him everything shes been learning about. Next, Marie and Chiaki tackle the books.

Marie teaches Chiaki how to fold clothes. She has also teached me to how to fold clothes in different ways I didn't even know of. She also teaches her that folding clothes is showing the clothes appreciation and the clothes will return it back.

It is so much easier for Chiaki to discard clothes now she feels free that she has discard all her clothes that don't spark joy. I left off where they start putting them away but Chiaki just wants to hang them she says it because they don't get wrinkley like that. Marie Kondo makes a good point though she says Chiaki will have so much more space to put away more things if she just folds away her clothes away right.

Kondo finds a way to make it easier for Chiaki to give up her some of her clothes she dosen't need. She does by starting with off season clothes its easier to judge when she won't need them right away.

Kondo tells Chiaki to choose what she wants to keep first and then figure out what she wants to discard. They start with the clothes first, Chiaki brings all her clothes together. Chiaki has so many new clothes and is having a hard time choosing what to keep.

Marie teaches Chiaki that storage is not the answer to clutter. Chiaki wants to keep everything and shes having a hard time getting rid of things she doesn't need. Marie teaches her the easiest way to get rid of things is to only keep things that spark joy.

Chiaki went outside her balcony and then saw her neighbor outside his balcony to, she then told him how she was taking tidying lessons. She then accidentally fell into her neighbors balcony. That was when she came up to the answer for her homework question.

Kondo and Chiaki drink some coffee and talk about why she has a wide range of interests. Chiaki tells her how shes into guys who are really into something and she trys out whatever their into so she can know them better. Then once their done talking Kondo leaves and gives Chiaki a question to think about she tells her "what life would she like to live here?"

First, it starts off with the author showing how messy Chiaki's apartment is then they showing how her messy apartment starts affecting her social life. She then after being embarrassed by her neighbor, she starts looking for help by signing up for tidying lessons.

I left off where everybody found out Aj has been selling poems for the boys lunch money. All the boys were complaining about how hungry they were and the teacher asked why they haven't ate lunch and they all looked at Aj.

Aj was becoming very successful with his poem business, so he started thinking of things he could with all the money he got. He started feeling bad when he was eating lunch and his friends were staring at his food because he took their lunch money to write their poems.

Aj sold so many poems, "he had more money than he could spend". Andrea started becoming suspicious and questioning how Aj got his ipod. Andrea was also angry at Aj because Ms.Coco liked his poems more than her. She was saying how it wasn't fair because she actually liked writing poems and reading while he didn't but somehow Ms. Coco liked his poems better.

Aj's classmates didn't like writing poems so Aj came up with this idea. He started selling his poems to his classmates, to make it easier for him Aj used his flash card system to write them.

Aj started coming up with crazy ideas to make Ms.Coco change her mind about him. He then decided to make the worst poem in history by writing things grown ups hate but Ms. Coco ended up liking it more than his other poems.

Aj is worried because he thinks Ms. Coco will ruin his reputation by telling all his classmates how a great poet he is. He says "the boys won't let him play football with them anymore."

Jude gets adopted to be Harold and Julia's legal son, though Jude fears they will change their mind. I left off where Jude attempts to commit suicide but Richard finds him and he wakes up in a hospital bed.

Things are going great for Jude now a social worker found him in a hospital and helped him a lot. She helped him get him get into college and showed Jude his potential.

Jude made a trusting relationship with brother Luke but Luke was a bad influence and would show/do harmful things to Jude.

From what I read this is what standed out to me most AJ made a poem out of nowhere to read to the kindergarteners but it was a bunny being eaten so they all cried after. He promised them to give them candy if they didn't say anything to the teachers because Ms. Coco and Ms. Daisy steeped out when Andrea and AJ were reading their poems.

Nothing different happened in the book just the same thing as always. Ms coco crying about something stupid and Andrea telling AJ about something she read in her encyclopedia. Only thing different that happened was that Ms. Coco and Andrea were singing AJ said they were really bad.

I was very suprised when AJ read his poem it was so simple but very clean. Andrea got jealous because Ms Coco was crying after he finished reading and Aj's was poem was better than hers. I was happy for Aj because I didn't think he would do it and he showed Andrea that she is not better than him.

Today I read that its national poetry month in the book so Ms. Coco is rhyming. She gave Andrea and him homework, Aj is going to write about sitting around and doing nothing. He keeps complaining and making excuses as to why he shouldn't.

Aj and Andrea hate each other but their the only ones in the school that are gifted and talented or at least in a class for that. Their complete opposites maybe thats why they hate each other but in some way i feel like their gonna end up liking each other at the end of the book.

Greg is still talking about how he is no good at sports and when he was young he thought would grow up and be a big athlete. But it was all a lie he misunderstood what his mom was saying to him which made him believe he was good at sports.

Greg is saying how he use to like sports in preschool and how it seems his part in sports now is making everybody else look better.

Game after game squish and his team kept loosing. Their coach kept saying it's about having fun not winning. But the other teams made them feel bad for loosing and made them feel as if they needed to win.
