The cat ate my gymsuit-Connector

To begin this book, as a job to do, I was the connector. My job is to try to relate something from the book I have read to my real life. It can be from my real life or someone elses life.

The part I chose from the book is when Ms. Finney gets fired for not doing the right stuff in class like not saying the Pledge of Allegiance. So she then got fired. Something similar happened in my life. In my french school, a substitute teacher was replacing my normal teacher and she did not know what to do so she let us talk and play board games. Some kid from our class tattle taled on her and she got fired by the director.
This has happened in a lot of my other schools but the kids never told the director.

Even though she has a rich average time, she is struggling because of her weight issues and she doesn’t go to gym class because her gym suit will be too tight exposing dead weight.
