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. 

Citizenship

So citizenship means your apart of a community you are a important part of the community. Now when someone is mean or rude to the other people in the community the community falls apart. Right now it seems like things are about to fall apart becuase there is lying, being rude to each other. Dwight seems to be the most rude and lies a lot. When you lie it will catch up with you at some point in your life. And I think Dwight's day is coming. And Toby's and moms too. 

Citizenship in the home

Personally I think that mom shouldn't marry Dwight because Dwight passes out drunk, he encourages Jack to fight Arther. I think that it isn't a great idea for mom to marry Dwight.. Dwight isn't a good influence on Jack. Also when mom and Dwight got back from their honeymoon, they got into a fight and mom told Dwight that she doesn't want him to encourage Jack to fight because she doesn't want him getting into fights at school

Citizenship in the home

After when Toby had the fight with Arthur, Dwight was happy, he encourage Toby about to when you can get into a fight you don't back down.  Dwight is known in the community and because of his "perfect" personality. Dwight teaches Jack how to fight.His mom thinks that is a terrible idea and doesn't want jack getting into fights at school but Dwight tells her that it's good for Jack to man up. I think Jack needs to listen to his mom and not Dwight, If he listens to Dwight he might get hurt or break something.

Citizenship in the home

Dwight refuses to buy Toby a new pair of shoes because he says he grows out of them too quicker so instead he buys him an ugly pair of brown shoes. Jack has to play basketball in those shoes and he always trips. When he's playing his game, he's distracted by a lady but the lady gets thrown out and the other team feels guilty winning.

Citizenship In The Home

To be honest I got a little confused about the part where Toby said we was talking to his birth dad now. It also surprised me about how much Dwight tried to punch himself to be part of the family. One thing I didn't like about this chapter was how the sandstorm was what damaged the truck. I think if skipper just went home after getting the inside done then the car wouldn't be in bad shape. The biggest thing that happened was Dwight started teaching Toby boxing moves when he found out the fight Toby and Arthur got into. Rosemary was not happy and this showed that Toby is getting very different mixed messages about how he needs to act and and how he needs to show respect to the people and things around him. These mixed messages are effecting his choice and judgment.

Citizenship In The Home

Toby likes to dream, it's a habit his mother has taught him. As we discussed in class, Toby dreams about going on an adventure with skipper, but this really doesn't come out to be an adventure at all, Skipper and his friend Ray get hit with sand storm. And when they come back Toby examines the car, gets in it and imagines he is driving it, like he's on an adventure or something. Could this be foreshadowing something? We know Toby's mom isn't very "responsible", so this makes me worry about Toby amd his crazy adventurous ideas. Toby likes to get in trouble, we all know that, let's just hope that for once he has some common sense not to do anything stupid.

Citizenship in the home

We really start to see the real influence in Toby's life. Mostly from his mother and dwight. And both of them don't give off a good role as a leader or a good citizen. At this age we see that toby wants to be more free and independent. So he plays to going to mexico. Witch later dwight denies. Also When toby got in a fight Dwight encouraged it. Things are getting worse with dwight because he starts to drunk drive with the family. I see if toby and his mom don't leave soon something is going to go wrong. Also I feel like the reason why Toby's mom and dwight are like this is because of there parent. Maybe Dwight's dad was a bad citizen and raised him wrong. Same with Toby's mom. I they don't leave they are going to continue the endless cycle of being a bad citizen    

Learning new things - citizenship in the house

As we all know jack, or Toby, is living with Dwight and learning more and more about how delight isn't the. Best person out there for jack. Once jack comes home from the fight is mom isn't really impressed but Dwight got excited because he thinks  jack is meaning up now. Dwight give jack fighting lessons to man up and be able to use those skills when needed. His mom doesn't like it but it's Dwight's house so what he says goes. I think jack should stop getting in fights and start to become a "better person" in the eyes of his mom and his new siblings so he can start helping out with more stuff.

Citizenship in the home

Jack is learning how to fight because Dwight thinks it's important for every boy to know how to defend himself and be able to fight back and win. His mom hunks that is a terrible idea and doesn't want jack getting into fights at school or with other people but Dwight tells her that it's good for jack to man up. In my opinion jack is learning the wrong lesson here and the only reason he is listening is because his only father figure is Dwight who we all know is not the best role model. Jack needs to show his spot in the house and become comfertable.

Citizenship in the home

    Dwight is trying to worm his way into Jacks family, trying really hard to be involved. Such as when Jack got in a fight with Arthur his mom was shamed of home for fighting but Dwight was proud of him such in a way were Dwight was acting like a father figure with the boxing moves and all of that, but he wasn't. That and Dwight got look at as a farther to Jack when he started to get called  about Jack steeling candy and Dwight's pocket knife.

Citizenship in the home

I found it interesting when Jack started talking about his dad and what happens when he grows up.  He goes to fight in Vietnam and has a son. He talks about how having a son effects him. I think it really give us some insight to who Jack turns out to be. You can defiantly see that things are getting worse with Dwight, and his mom and Dwight aren't really getting along. You can also really see how crazy Dwight is when his driving drunk with jacks mom and the kids. I think things are gonna get a lot worse between Dwight and Jack, and jacks mom.

Citizenship In The Home

Dwight and Jacks Mom our rubbing off on Jack. When Skipper is talking about going to Mexico and Jake managed to get the idea in his head that he was going to. This is something his Mother would end up thinking as well because she dreams big and Jack started to dream big as well. Earlier in the book, when Jake got into a fight with Author; Dwight and his mom were not on the same page. His Mom was upset he got into a fight and Dwight thought it was a manly thing, therefore, a good thing.
