Its kind of a funny story pg 161-303

Summary-
            Craig's parents meet him at the hospital and they are really supportive. He then checks into the Argon physicological house. He has to stay there till they fee that he will be better. Craig is then worried that everyone at school will find out and that they will judge him. He especially doesn't want to tell Aaron or Nia. He doesn't want them to think that he is mental. Craig actually meets all these people that he will be staying with and he doesn't mind them. He makes quick friends, and rooms with a guy names Muqtade, and he never leaves his room. He met a id who is afraid of gravity and a girL nameD Noell who scratched her face. She actually writes a note saying to meet her and they kick it off, with the question game getting to know each other. And it seems that Craig really likes her. Since Craig had to stay in the adult house becasue there was no room with the teenagers, he was really glad that Noel was his age. He really feels they hit it off. Bobby and Jimmy are the guys that Craig really hangs out with and they are also in there for despression.Then Craig gets a call from Aaron saying that Nia actually old him the situation and that he was cool with it, but Craig really got upset and just got into a fight with him and hung up. He really felt that maybe not being his friend for a while will cure him. He felt that Aaron was adding to his depression. Craig is still in the hospital and is actually improving.

Quote-
 "I tackle the second chicken" ( Vizzini.210)

Reaction-
I picked this quote because it showed that he was impoving. He used to never eat and now not only can he finish his first plate but he can go for seconds. I thought that was good to hear. Also I noticed that Craig has one distinction from all the other people in the mental hospital. He has a supportive family, while the others don't. So it really drew a question to me, Why is he depressed? I feel that he kind of just i going through a stage and feel that he really just needs positive people with him and that is why he is feeling better just the first day there.
