Being a famous popstar

I don't think I would like being a famous popstar because I wouldn't have any true friends. I wouldn't be able to get close to anyone because when I found true friends, I would have to pack up and leave.

Armpits experience at the police station

Armpit got really nervous when he went to the police station. He thought maybe X-ray would give him up. An example of this is when X-ray said, "no harm, no foul." Armpit thought that when X-ray said that, Detective Newberg turned around and looked at him. He knew that she couldn't see her.

Kaira DeLeon lyrics

" A sad circus clown how hopes to inspire
The love of the long-haired, blue spangled trapeze highflyer
Kicks off his floppy shoes and changes attire,
Just like Clark Kent, or Toby Maguire,
And goes up the circus ladder, higher and higher,
'Cause a clown is someone she could never admire,
But there ain't no net beneath the high wire.
Nearing to the top, he begins to perspire.
He's climbing out of the frying pan,
And into the fire."



They pretty much said to me that even though bad times come in life, to always think of the bright side. If you are lucky, the bright side will come quicker than you exspect!

Questions for Ginny

Small Steps

Armpit wasn't very excited about going to the police station. X-ray made up all these excuses to prove that he and Theodore weren't guilty. A few examples of the lies he made was that his name was Rex Alvin Washburn. Another thing he said that was that he worked alone and Theodore didn't help him. I think in the end, Theodore was glad that X-ray didn't give him up and that they both left the jail free.

My favorite character from Small Steps


My favorite character in this book is Ginny. Even though she has cerebral palsy, she still has a great personality. I love that about her. She doesn't care what other people think about her, what she cares about is how she presents herself. She is a nice, funny little girl!

Small Steps

Small Steps is a book written Louis Sachar. It is about a boy named Theodore otherwise known as Armpit. He gets pulled into a get-rich-quick scheme, by his so called friend, X-Ray. They buy tickets to a Kaira DeLeon concert. They these men named Moses and Felix. These men are ticket scalpers and are trying to buy Theodore and X-Ray's tickets for $90. X-Ray says to them that in Phili that the sold for $700 and that $90 isn't enough. This is a great, fun book, that I would recommend to anyone that like fun filled, adventure books!
