VISUALIZE: My book has some pictures in it, so about 25% of the book has picture pages. A good visualization scene is when the time Rafe ran through the school in his underwear. In the text, Rafe states that he isn't wearing anything at all, "I went in the bathroom and came out a minute later without my ninja costume...just sneakers, a pair of boxers, and a big old smile." This helps me visualize his actions+state.

TEXT to SELF: This reminds me of a time that I got into trouble often. One time, my friend and I were just chilling during lunch in elementary school, and the kid who thought he was our friend, came up to us and said bad things about others. (He also stole stuff from teachers and students). So, we walked away and he FOLLOWED us. Then, we flipped him off and he said he was going to tell on us. We did this a lot to him

ANTAGONIST: The antagonists in this story are the teachers and Miller, the school bully. Miller is pretty self-explanatory, he bullies the main character, Rafe, and does what bullies do. The reason the teachers are antagonists is because in this book, Rafe has to break every rule in the school, and of course, the teachers won't allow that because rules are rules.
