Taylor's Discussion Question

4.) When Paul first goes to Tangerine Middle, why do you think everyone was not accepting to him? Was it because of his glasses? Or was it because he was just a new student?

I always felt there was something Paul was holding back, even from himself, and in a way he wanted to be different, and keep to himself.. Your questions are good, girls.

I think that Paul was not accepted at first because he had come from Lake Winsdor. The students at Lake Winsdor and Tangerine Middle are very different. Paul was percieved to be so different, that he just was not accepted. His glasses were not the reason to why Paul was not accepted. But, his glasses were a very direct way to make fun of him with. Over time though, Paul eventually came to be liked and was a very essential asset to Tangerine Middle.

I think he was not accepted because he was diffrent than everyone else. Most of the time, chikdren are not as accepting to people that are diffrent then they are.
