Chapter 1 - 5

__How is Theo different from other kids his age?__ ====Theo is different because while all of the other kids play sports like soccer and golf he just sits around the courtroom observing the trials and whatever is going on in the courtroom. Also both his parents are lawyers and he is the only child.====

__What evidence from the story show how passionate Theo is about the law?__ ====It shows a lot of evidence when Theo spends a lot of time teaching his government class about the law, Is friends with judge Gantry, knows a lot about the people who work there, and he is persuasive because he convinced judge Gantry to save seats to sit to the left side of the balcony.====

__ What do you think April should do about her problem between her mother and father? __ ====If I were her I would probably try staying with one parent for a little while and the other for a little while. I would not want to risk living with relatives because they might not accept you, you might hate the new way of living, and no matter how weird or mean your parents are they always want you to live with you. I probably would stay with the mother since she'll know more how to take care of April because their both girls.====

__ What advice would you give her if you where Theo? __

__ 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? __ ====He compared it athletes ready for a big game because Theo was so exited he could barely eat or sleep and usually athletes getting ready for a big game felt nervous and they too could barely eat or sleep.====

__ If you were the judge in April's case, what would tell her parents? __ If I were the judge I would ask April which parent she likes and If she says neither I would ask her why and tell her parents to stop taking drugs and stop doing other bad things. Then I would tell her that she should try living with her mom for some time and live her father for some time together.
