Sophia

Chapter 1 - 5

__How is Theo different from other kids his age?__ He likes the courthouse and law. He has his own office in the courthouse. Every kid knows that Theo is the kid who can teach them law and order. Theo spends most of his time at the courthouse. He know every judges name. He even got seat for it class to watch the case of mr. Duffy.

__What evidence from the story show how passionate Theo is about the law?__ He wants to become a lawyer when he grows up. He knows almost all the laws. Like I said Theo spends most of his time in the courthouse.

__ What do you think April should do about her problem between her mother and father? __ I think she should try getting them back together. If not she should live with who ever she feels most comfortable with. If that does not work she should ask the judge if she could live with foster parents

__ What advice would you give her if you where Theo? __ I would ask her if she had any other relatives that want her and if I yes would tell her to go with them.

__ Why did Theo compare his feelings about the court room the morning of the Big Case to athletes ready for a big game? Explain your thinking with examples? __ I think because he had the same feeling. The trial is about to begin what will happen? The big game is about to begin what will happen? Who will be right? Will we win. Will judge Gantry win or mr. Duffy? Will you win or the opponent win? Who will you vote for? Who will the crowd cheer for.

__ If you were the judge in April's case, what would tell her parents? __ I would tell them that April does not want to live with neither of them. Then I would give them time to be nicer to her. Then if she doesn't pick neither one I would ask them ask them if they want their daughter wants to be happy I would call her aunt and tell them to make up with her so their child would be happy.
