I noticed that when lonnie g's girlfriend was telling them why he was in jail jimmy said she had a high pitched screechy voice. I also noticed she said they were sending him to a jail 8 hours away. I noticed this because his elderly grandma won't be able to visit very often and I think that's why he is depressed.

I noticed that when jimmy was getting frustrated with kevin he was ready to hit him. I also noticed that duke was disappointed. This is important because fighting is the reason jimmy got in trouble in the first place. This affects my thinking because now jimmy and kevin are not the best of friends.

I noticed that when jimmy's mom told him duke got him tickets to a basketball game he said she had a bag of tricks. She was begging him to go to the game. I noticed that jimmy said she was tearing up and was about to cry.

I noticed that when jimmy and duke were talking about drugs and how to avoid them duke used someone he lived down the hall from. This was interesting because the girl he was talking about, Irene, was sitting on a sidewalk right across the street from them. This is significant because my dad tell this to me all the time. This changes my thinking because duke is also talking to kevin who got in trouble for smoking weed

I noticed that cap was making jimmy upset because jimmy wasn't reading anything. This caused jimmy to storm out of the barber shop and go home.This is important because jimmy might have to go to juvie if he doesn't go to the barber shop. If he does go to juvie it will affect his permanent record.
