Mr.Willit-is the choirs’ teacher and tries to make them sing every where Alexandra-she was gorgeous and had blond hair just like Remy but it was much better then hers and Morgan was secretly in love with her.

It tells you about Remy and her first little accident and how that was the first time she got shock up. Mr.fielding never teaches the kids and thing is like a self teach class. He never pays attention to the point the kids are able to change each other names.

    To begin with, Remy’s rejection from various social groups leads him to become isolated and insecure. For instance, Remy’s first rejection occurs when Fudge disregards Remy’s study time and also when Remy calls the Columbia University campus police due to Fudge’s party disrupting the peace within their on campus apartment. Lastly, when Remy moves out of the apartment due to Fudge’s unwillingness to compromise can be seen as Remy’s final rejection. Those minor confrontations resemble Remy’s rejection from the minorities’ social group. Moreover, Remy’s social rejection from the fraternity also provokes him to feel isolated and insecure. In particular, after Kristen runs from the fraternity’s house, Billy soon follows her; however, Remy misinterprets the situation and praises Billy for having sexual relations with Kristen. Following the incident, the fraternity dismisses Remy’s attempt to be involved which causes Remy to feel isolated and insecure due to his inability to bind with his peers.…
