The book i read was called " Alabama Moon" so i left on at where he has to stay at a foster home. so now he's being introduce about making friends, speaking proper english, also knowing real food. so obviously its not going well. the kids are bullying him because he doesn't know how to eat and he doesn't want to make any friends. so know he tries to escape. he sneaks out in the middle of the night and goes into to one of the offices and steals one of the busses. so he manages to get on the bus and he starts it but he doesn't know how to drive. so by accident he put it in reverse, and drove into the foster house. he got caught and he was being watch for 24hrs everyday until he was behaving and they let him off on being watched. now they send him off to school and do chores around the foster house. So thats were i left off.
 My personal reaction to this chapter was shocking because this kid was so crazy to try to steal a bus. Not even i would do something like that. But i also felt bad because they were bullying him. i cant stand when people bully other people. its just wrong and it really hurts people. the pattern of organization was chronological order because it would put the date and when each event happen. i cant really really say what the arthur intended because i didn't read the whole book yet but for this chapter he tried to show a little personal touch.
