In It's kind of a Funny Story, it shows how a kid name Craig is all happy, living a normal life until he gets into a high school which is one of the top schools in the nation. He starts feeling depressed and wants to kill himself and instead goes to the hospital. He learns a lot about where he is and the different type of people he meets in the hospital and realizes that there are people out there that make him look like what he calls "normal" which he learns that there is nothing normal about the world and who he meets.
Craig sees that there are people who went to harder stuff than him. Bobby and Johnny who were together since they were 13 went around the whole city asking for money and then brought heroin and other drugs. "They were lost when they came here and were scared taking a lot of drugs and now lost their life and trying to regain it," said Smitty. Although there are like people like Hummle who needs to take at least 8 medications and Craig wants to change them, not wanting to be with Aaron, Nia or any of his friends because these people like Craig and Craig likes them too.
Craig learned that even if he isn't one of those people who have big problems, but to his friends, teachers and family he has big problems. He wants to change that and be Noelle because he can relate to her for they have been used by their friends and wanted to kill themselves. Craig sees himself as a special person because he is part depressed and part normal but on the other hand people might not like him because some people might think he is crazy and others wish they can be him.
Teenagers are pressured in a lot of things, school, tests, friends, family, trying to be popular, and other stuff. It can hurt them in a lot of ways that it can take them by killing himself, cutting themselves or doing drugs which will always end bad.

Other People's Responses
I liked Taiseer's response because it had his ideas and it was backed up by the quotations he put in it. He thinks bigger by quotations in it to show what he is saying. He also shows us what the characters think in the story and how they don't feel like it was their fault for what happened. He tells us what happens in all 13 tapes and what happened in the last tape. This is what i like about Taiseer's response.
I also like Chris reading response because he puts in information about Steve Jobs, what he achieved in his whole life. He writes who he worked with, and what they came up with. He also talked about the college he went to and wrote his childhood too. He says what happened after and before he was adopted. In the end he writes what happened when he was at the end of his carrer and what he had.

Summer Reading
Katniss in Mockingjay keeps telling herself of it was her fault for not saving Peeta and the destruction of district 12. She keeps blaming herself for the bombings of all the districts and the people who didn't make it out live. She wants to keep apologizing to the people she thinks made it harder for them to live and is filled with guilt for not saving Peeta's family. She still thinks that it was her fault, but to Peeta it was all he wanted, keeping her safe from the Capitol because he still loves her and says she has a better life than him.
Katniss cares for Peeta becaues she thinks she owes him for giving food and saving her from the Hunger Games. Although she thinks she loves him, he also hates him too, the fact that he went too far with him loving her, how she was pregnant and going against what she thought of. She doesn't like how Peeta risks his life for hers. On the other hand she cares for Gale too because Gale reminds her of who she is. They both have the same ideas about the Capitol, they knew each other for four years and go hunting together, but she doesn't like the other side of Gale. Gale is full of hatred and is jealous of Peeta, he has no feeling and no guilt when it comes to war and killing a person.
Katniss is like a mother and Peeta is like her son because like a mother she wants her son to be safe from anything that can hurt her son. She is also like a regular person because she loves two people but is afraid that she chooses one of them, the other will hate her and if she doesn't choose anyone she will make them think she doesn't love them when she does.
