Quote-
    "I hold out my hand to Noelle in a fit of Confidence" ( Vizzini 335)

Reaction-
         I thought this quote really shows how Craig really overcame his fear of talking to girls and people and general, where know he is actually talking to a girl with great confidence. But not only is he talking to her but he is also dancing. He goes from being socialy drained to someone who is the life of the party. I loved this book it was really funny and I actually wanted to finish the book this time. So I think that author really did a good job in communicating with the readers and I feel that this book would be good for anyone who just wants a laugh or a good book to read.

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.

Quote-"Giving my brain up." (Vizzini 19)

Reaction-
           I think this quote was ironic because it seems as if he didnt care about school or anything,  but it is the opposite he actually took one whole year to study for a test. And now he is saying that he is giving his brain up, just like giving up which is totaly what he doesn't do. By just reading a hundred pages i was really interested and I actually like it, some part were a little unnecasary to say in the book but most of all it was really good and I can't wait to read the next 160 pages.
