Bad Boy: Chapter 2 ; Lets Hear It For The First Grade !

I' am currently reading Bad Boy, by Walter Dean Myers and am on chapter two. I' am planning on reading a chapter every week. So when I do my blog for this topic, every week I can do each chapter.

Chapter Two: Lets Hear Ir For The First Grade ! ->
 When Walter Dean Myers first went to school he could read second-grade books already. For this he got put in second grade. His first grade teacher said that it was a bad idea to do because he couldn't speak well enough to be in second grade. Walter Dean Myers talks about how he liked his teacher Mrs. Dworkin. He also said that he loved going to school, even though he got put in a corner for almost an hour, because he dropped a jar of paste on his lap and then put some on this boy that laughed at him. Walter Dean Myers realized in second grade that he had a speech problem and that's why this boy named Manuel Bonilla bothered him a lot. When this would happen Walter would punch Manuel in the face so he would shut up and leave him alone. Then the teacher sent him straight to the office. Walter didn't care being sent there. He said he liked going there watching the teachers go back and fourth and talking about lunch or what they did last night. He also said he liked the principle and talked about the her appearance and everything. He started talking about his school which was named Public School 125 on LaSalle Street. He heard rumors that the cells used to be in the basement and that prisoners who died down there will howl every night.  The rest of the chapter just talked about how he was doing in school.

I like this book !

Oh my gosh that part about the prison that is now a school, made me remember about high school in Bessemer City. I heard that before the school was there that used to be the rest of the commentary, that's actually behind the school.
