One day their was a new boy, this boy had just transferred schools. He had switched to a school an hour away from his old school, all because his parents thought it would be better to have a house on a lake then a house and cabin. He thought the lake was slightly under okay, being that it was green nearly every day, but liked their previous cabin’s lake  a lot much better. On the first day of school when lunch came around, he did not know anyone to sit by. So he just sat down at a table with a few students, a week later they were good friends and talked much about video games.

After a few weeks he knew who to stay away from by simply their actions. When he had the freedom of choosing a group he would let others pick him instead of trying to pick them. At the middle of that year other students would say hello and he would reply hello but would not normally continue or start the conversation. Joining an activity helped him much in meeting new students. He knew at close to half the grade at the end of the year but he would not call most of them his friends.

This relates to the book KILLING MR.GRIFFIN by comparing the main character, Susan, and the boy because they both just wanted to fit in. While both got a group to hang out with, Susan’s group was using her for her innocence and the boy’s was just being accepting.
