The Chocolate War Pre-Reading

                    School pranks can happen often, more so in high school than middle school.  Sometimes the pranks can be harmless but other times someone can end up getting hurt or maybe someones property might get damaged.  To me, if a school prank is funny and no one gets hurt or nothing gets damaged than school pranks are good and funny.  If someone pulls a harmless school prank and than gets in trouble for it, I will be opposed to that because they didn't do anything wrong and shouldn't get punished.  During class someone might do something funny and then the whole class might laugh but the student that made them laugh will get in trouble for no reason, no one got hurt (inside and out), no ones property was damaged, and no one was offended by it.  But if someone does get hurt, offended, or something's broke, then I support the decision to punish them.
                    People might get confused with what pranks are harmless and what pranks aren't and even though they don't know, they'll still do the prank even though they don't know if someone's going to get hurt or not.  Some harmful pranks that people might think are okay but aren't might include: tripping someone, throwing stuff, and writing on stuff.  All of those pranks could either get someone hurt or offended and get you in trouble.  Sometimes pranks just aren't worth it.  Only do a prank if you know it won't get you in major trouble or someone offended/hurt or something broke.
                    School pranks can be fun and make other people laugh but that's the only time it's good to do a prank.  All of the other times is wrong and you shouldn't do them.  And if you get in trouble for pulling a school prank even though you didn't brake any rules, then say that you did nothing wrong, or that you won't do it again.  So next time you thing about pulling a school prank just take into consideration about how other people might feel.

Eleanor and Park Post-Reading

                    "Yesterday happens...." is a quote for the novel Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell has a deep meaning.  I feel that the quote is talking about the past and about forgetting about it and moving on to the next day.  It's saying how things will happen and soon they will turn into yesterday and yesterday is in the past which you have to forget about.  And you should forget about it because a new day will happen and you can just start over again and forget about everything.  A new day will happen and whats in the past is in the past.  There's nothing you can do to change it.  I can relate to that because sometimes a have a bad day and sometimes I just need to forget about what happened and look forward to the next day and forget about that day and move on.  And so yesterday happens, once it hits 12 a.m it's in the past.  So when it's in the past I just try to forget about it because I know there is nothing I can do.  
                           This quote can relate to this novel in some ways.  It can relate because sometimes Eleanor has something bad that would happen to her and she knows it will soon be in the past.  She knows that what's in the past is in the past and she can't change it.  I feel that everyone can relate to this quote because they've all had the same feeling of having a bad day and it being in the past.  Along with the quote, people can relate to the novel.  And this quote can have different meanings so people can use their own perspective and say what they think this quote is about to them.
