​ ​Description of area:When you walk out my front door and walk down the hill of my front yard and turn into the left side of my woods and there is a big meadow where the sun is always shinning and it just a great spot to go. The meadow is approximately 1/4 acre of land. The only thing that stand out is all the flowers growing in the meadow and how much  color it gets. 

The reason I have a relationship with this spot is because this is where I use to go when I was little and thought it was so cool and big and I'd go for little adventures so I decided to go there because of my memories I had in this spot. This place is very special to me and brings back memories and thoughts I thought I had forgoten but as soon as I went down there everything came back.

citiztionship in the home

In the book, everyone is showing citiztionship in there own way. They all seem to have there favorites and least favorites in the household. Dwight and Rose seem to be getting worse, and it's having an effect on the kids. I think Rose is going to want some time alone, and Dwight is going to go crazy; someone will mostlikley get hurt. Maybe Jack, maybe Rose, or maybe even Dwight.

Dwight and jack

We start to see more and more of  Dwight's true self, and Jack following his mom's old bad habits. Jack can't really understand that things aren't going well with him and his mom and Dwight, and him and skipper not taking him to Mexico. Then Dwight teases him and just treats him like trash. I wonder when jack is going to have a breaking limit. I know that my dad does that, and just annoys me then gets mad that I get annoyed, but I have learned to deal with it. Sooner or later, Dwight's going to get it.

When skipper leaves it's not good because he already has a problem with depending on people and Dwight teaching him to fight and supporting it isn't good for him because he is getting mixed messages about how to act

Citizenship in the Home

              In these past few pages that we have read I was surprised to find out that not only did it seem that Jack had acclimated but, I had a sudden realization that he wasn't the only one because I was adapting to my new surroundings in my moms home due to her having a new boyfriend and honestly he has that sly, sneaky, something is not right type of feeling. And I think that in order to have proper citizen ship in the home you have to acclimate to surroundings just like Jack and I did. So it'll be interesting to find out how much further jack is willing to go to get along with his surroundings.

Citizenship In The Home

Through these pages we continue to see more and more of the real Dwight and some of the old Jack coming out. Jack lives in a daydream world and wants to find every possible way to get out of Chinook. We learn that Skipper's truck was damaged by a sanstorm in Mexico and that Jack's mother has joined the Rifle Club. However I feel that there is no "Citizenship in the Home" because Jack is trying so hard to not become part of the family and to get of out Dwight's life.

106-136

Citizenship in the home I think is the opposite of what is said. When the older brother went to Mexico, Jack wanted to go but wasn't able to because of he wasn't old enough. Dwight was teasing Jack because his "rich Daddy Warbucks" didn't want to have anything to do with Jack.
