Second Post





In the first 21 chapters Marcus and his friends try to help their friend Charlie. His problem is that he is doing poorly in his classes. His friends are trying to help him but he won't let them. He never had to ask for anything in his life because he was such a great football player at his school. Due to the fact that his skills were so fantastic in football, he felt like he never had to ask for help and really doesn't feel comfortable askin for it. Especially when he really needs it.
So far,  I like the book. I like the book because it is a friend trying to help out another friend even though that friend dosen't want any help. He won't give up on him and will keep trying until he succeeds in school. I like when people never give up and I always try and give it my all, just like Marcus. This is why I can really relate to this book and really enjoy reading it.
 I think it will end with Marcus finally helping Charile.This will pay off in the end and Charlie will finally know that asking for help can be a good thing, especially when you need it. My favorite chapter in the book is chapter 20, in chapter 20 Charlie runs away and Marcus runs out to find him and trys to get him home so they can talk about everything that makes him mad. Also It says that Marcus is a friend who helps people that struggle in life. Thats what I like the most,  a friend helping out another no matter what it takes and no matter what the other friend says.

    Charlie had a disease called Alhzheimers. It caused him to forget things, where he was, names, and what to do in situations. Charlie didn't pay for the other half of the window he broke, or the ice and Gatorade for them. Also the whole book he was calling Marcus "Mac" because that's what he thought that was who Marcus was, and also because they were playing at Three Alarm Park, where him and Mac used to play.
