The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger - Connector

Literature Circles-Connector
Alannah Thornley

1. Ms. Finney is like Ms. Edmunds in Bridge to Terabithia, they are both kind, caring, free spirited, and each have their own creative and innovative ways of teaching. They both help their students to try their hardest and teachers like them really help the students start to enjoy school. They are also extremely young ( very early 20's ) and very pretty.

2. When Joel asks Marcy to the dance to the dance it reminded me of when our school held a dance in the Black Box, and many different people asked other to that dance. Marcy states in the book that when Joel asked her out she felt "uneasy, and confused as to whether Joel actually liked her or it was a dare, or he just means it as friends". Malaika said that this is how everybody feels when people they really really really really like asks them out.

3. In the book Marcy is very insecure about her body and the way she believes people perceive the way she dresses, the way she acts, and her family. There are many different people everywhere that believe that no one will ever like them if they have imperfections, which is a complete lie. People like others regardless of their clothing, looks, and family.
