Rory feels like things are unfair.I know this because everyone has expected him to forgive Brent just because he now has a brain injury. Not only is this unfair because no one knows how Brent truly treated Rory behind closed doors. But no Rory will also have to share his speech class with Brent.

I think that Rory is motivated to act the way he does towards Brent because of what happened on the dirt bike trail.The story has hinted and given slight details to what may have occurred that day but we aren't sure yet. All we know is after that day Brent started bullying Rory and Rory no longer thought of Brent as his friend.

Brent was in the hospital after the accident.We've yet to see how he acts yet but I think he might forget things making him think he's still close with rory.The reason I think this is because He had a bruise on his brain. This would cause problems with his thoughts and memories.

I think the hero for Rory is Mr.Simms. He treats him like he's normal and makes sure nobody eles is treating him differently either. I think Mr. Simms will end up teaching him how to speak better. Which will eventually make his middle school carrer better.

I just started this book ,but i think i can connect it to my life. Rory is struggling with starting middle school and making new friends. When i first started middle school i felt the exact same way. He has two good friends that should make it easier for him to process this new start. Though i feel bad his old friend has started bullying him.I think its only because his friend wants to fit in.
