Schooled 1/22/98

Prompt: Dates Read
Pages Read: 0-116

    Capricorn Anderson has never been out of his little closed off community named Garland. The whole conflict begins when Rain falls off of a plum tree and hurts her hip. He then tries driving her to the hospital. He gets pulled over then taken to a social worker. The social worker invites him to her house and enrolls him into public middle school. The first month or two was just him getting used to his surroundings. Hugh Winkleman became his best friend and kind of felt bad that he felt good that Cap was the one being bullied.

     It's explained that Hugh was the original that was always picked on and that Cap was the new target. Also Sophie, the social worker's daughter, started getting more friendlier towards Cap. It was boosted when Cap gave her driving lessons. After a while of getting picked on at school, something happens, the bus driver has a heart attack and Cap drives the bus to a hospital.

     After the whole bus hijack thing and Cap getting taken away by the police, he became a hero to the people. A lot of people were asking a bunch of questions. Naomi, a girl who's started to show interest in Capricorn, asked to join him in his Tai Chi lessons. He started leading a bunch of stuff and even got a whole period where he taught students how to tie-dye their shirts. He then got a checkbook for the school account for the Halloween Party planning. He starts using it on other stuff like charities and even gives fellow students who are supposedly running a marathon a thousand dollars. Zach starts talking to Hugh about backstabbing Cap and that's as far as I got.

    It seems to mean that you are summarizing your story. However, this is not a summary; instead this is a detailed account about everything that happened. A summary highlights the main points of what occurs. Let's try to focus on a one paragraph summary and then another prompt for the other two paragraphs.

    Please consider revising.
