The Finney’s are going to Mr. Furtz funeral. It was called DiMaggio’s Funeral. They went their to say their last words to Mr. Furtz and wanted to talk to the Furtz family. Also Carl Ray went with the family which was a shock to the family, because he is always at home watching TV. Alex Cheevey started hanging out with Mary Lou more at the pool. They also talk about the book “Odyssey”. While the family was all at home Carl Ray got a phone call from a person named Mr. Biggers and the family starts getting very noisy at asking him what it was for. The reason was that he was giving Carl Ray five thousand dollars for college. Also Alex Cheevey likes Mary Lou.

The part where Alex Cheevy went to see his friends the Murphys again and saw Mary Lou was kind of funny, becuase she likes him and doesn’t know what to say to him. When Beth Ann went on a date with Derek on (p.39) was funny and dumb because after her date she would tell Mary Lou every thing that happen on her date. At the same time it was dumb because Derek could like Beth Ann, but Beth Ann does not like Derek or the other way around. You would not know how to tell him or her you do not like him or her. Another important part was when Mr. Furtz passed away because he is one of the important character.

 Beth Ann’s new behavior is that she does not tell Mary Lou about her date and usually she says everything she did. Mary Lou feels annoyed because she wants to know what happened on Beth Ann’s date and she only tells her a little at a time.

2. How does Mary Lou react when Mr. Furtz dies?

Mary Lou reacts by Mr. Furtz death was that she went to the Furtz’s house the next day to get her kids. Mary Lou and her sister Maggie went to get Mrs. Furtz’s kids so they would not need to be in the house while the mom figures everything out about Mr. Furtz death.

It is the last day of school and Mary Lou Finney has tostart a diary during the summer vacation. She starts by talking about her family.
