During school‚ the educators put Mitch on the spot‚ center him out front of the entire class and compare him to his “perfect” older brother Clifford. But worst of all‚ Mitch alienates himself by fooling around and not taking things serious enough. Overall Mitch is an outsider in his own life which doesn’t do much to help his cause.

He argues that an unjustified belief‚ such as a religious belief‚ can never save anyone from suffering the consequences of what those beliefs brought about.

This object that is important to me is from my Pre-K teacher Mrs. Judy. My book is wrinkled and bent. It also has the aroma of Kindergarten every time you open the book.
