First post: Houlden and Old Spencer

Houlden is a teeanager like every teanager. he smoke and seems like do what cool people do. He has been kiqu from school a lot of times cause of his grades and i think that now he doesn't believe in himself enought and thinks he can't do right things. but houlden is a really smart boy cause helikes read a lot and his friends ask him to do there homework so i kind of ask me why doesn't he have good grades at school. I think this is because of some missing from his parents who dont seems be really attentives on what he is doing because of his journey at schools. Houlden is really near from his history teacher who try to help him with school but Houlden doesn't really listen even if he still likes this teacher. i think it's because any teacher like him because of his grades and his pass with smoking and stof so to be understand from one teacher, being invited at his own home it means a good relationship between them. I liked the first chapters because i like how the book describ houlden like how lazy he is and how he try to be like his teacher. the book is really hard to understand but we can figurate out his reactions and his fellings. Houlden shows kind of the teanagers in real life with is influence with smoking and his friends that he cheer a lot.



Old Spencer is Houlden's history teacher. this caractery is really nice cause he try to help his student to do and be better at school and in his own life. he cares a lot of houlden like a father that i think houlden appreciate cause he doesn't really have good relationship with his parents because of his travel. He listen him and talk normaly not like teacher/student but more as best friend. The problem with Houlden is that he lies a lot i think because he is scared of showing his fellings. The relationship between them is really nice too because Mr Spencer let him come at his own home and just that Houlden cares on spencer's health means that houlden understands that spencer helps him and is grateful and tanksful. Houlden seems be sad to leave him when he's telling him good bye but it's weird that i lied for leave the house while he just could say the truth, the old men wouldn't say anything.
