This week I finished reading Jerk and read My Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger. This book went through the life of a girl named Marcy Lewis. She hated school. She hated her family. And she hated her body. Then along came her new english teacher, Ms. Finny. She was willing to actually listen to Darcy and became a mentor and role model to her. When the school board found out about her different teaching styles, they were very eager to get rid of her. Marcy stuck up for her and in the end, she was back.
A plot change that would have changed the whole book would be if Ms. Finny wouldn't have come. Although the book would be completely pointless then, Marcy would still be that quiet, awkward, chubby kid in the corner. Ms. Finny is a miracle worker.
