Hi Jessica:I think that is sad that Maniac had to sleep in backyards and in porchs. Do you think that is sad that he has to sleep in some backyards? Write back!

I wonder why Maniac took Mars Bar over to that party.I mean what did he think was going to happen.Because they did'nt get along.Why do you think Maniac took him over there?All though they where getting along at first,or at least the little ones got along with him.I think that those kid's need to learn that what you see on the inside is more important than what you see on the outside.

Bye!

I don't think it was nice of Piper,Russel,and George to tell them kids to get out because they were black.It doesn't matter what color you are it is your personallity that counts because we are all human,and god made us we are all family.Why do you think that Jeffrey invitedthem to the party? If i was Jeffrey I would not have went to that party because he was trying to help and they told him to get out.I think that every time he sees the P&W he remembers his parents.Why do you think they call Mars Bars and his brother Milky Way there name?

TO ARACELY:
I really don't think Maniac is going to die. I think that Maniac is going to go and live with Amanda. What do you think? I think Maniac still likes Amanda but he couldn't find her to invite her to his party. I can't wait to finish the book this weekend.

Please Respond

What's up you all:I think it was rude what the Cobras did to Mars Bars,and I think there is no dumb difference between blacks and whites.I wonder why Maniac invite Mars Bars to the West End?I think Maniac invite Mars Bars because he wanted to show that blacks are the same as whites.What do you all think? Well have to go.Please write back!!!!!!!
