This reminds me of when I'm at school and a teacher ( definetly not Mrs. Durnin though ) accuses me of something I didn't do and I get into trouble for it. What is the same between Ian and I though is that the teacher's were both partially wrong because Ian didn't hit the teacher first, and I didn't do what they were saying I did.

In the story, Skate, by Micheal Harmon, Ian enjoys to hit/slap people, This reminds me of when I get mad at my brother, or he takes something of mine, I always slap him. I hit him continuously, until he says it hurts. But Ian does it once, and he punches, not a girl slap. This is differnet because I slap, and he punches.

He had no one to even look at the list that he went to all the work that he had just done. This reminds me of when I had went to the Stratford Fair when I was little with my family. I had gotten lost, so I had no one to go to or ask that knew my parents. I went to the help center and soon enough I was re-united with my family and like Ian he was re-united with Coach Shmidt.

Ian explained that he didn't know where his mom was, he knew she was sick, and she never had stayed at Ian's home for less then a couple of days. This reminds me of a book called Perfect written by Natasha Friend. One of the main characters named Ashley is going through something similiar in her life like Ian. Ashley's mom haden't been home for awhile, and she was getting worried that something was wrong with her. When this was going on her father was with another girl living a couple hours away.

We had gone swimming, and then had gone back to our camp site. That night it was very cold and the ground was covered in dew. All of my clother were either damp or soaking wet from swimming. I was freezing cold and had no were to go for warmth except the heat from the fire we had started, just like Ian and Sammy.

In the story "Skate" by Michel Harmom, Ian and Sammy had to stay in the the woods, because they were going on a journey to find their dad. They had to stay close to each other for body warmthbecause they were really cold. This reminds me of the movie "Without a Paddle" because their was three guys who were really cold outsideand they needed to stay warm, so they laid together for body heat. This is the same thing Ian and Sammy had to do to stay warm at night time.

T-S Connection:
In the book Skate by Michael Harmon, Bennie (Ian's bestfriend) had peed in the school bell, so when the principal would come and ring the bell it would dump on the principal, but also the school emblem (which he really cared about). This reminds me of when I had played an April Fool's trick on my Mom. I had put ketchup in a cup and when she turned on the shower, she would get covered in ketchup. This relates to Bennie because he and I had done a similair trick to people who we know.

T-S Connection;
