Blog #3

After writing my last two blogs I was thinking about this. I did mention a little about it in my second blog. What if Chris Crutcher wrote a sequel to Stotan!? Would the problems in the previous book be solved? Would new problems be posed?

I think that if Chris Crutcher wrote another novel it would be very similar in ways and very different. I don’t think Jeff would make it. I think he would die quickly and painfully, but it would hurt the others around him. I think that the boys would stop believing in being a stotan because: “I didn’t work for Jeff, why would it work for us?”

I think that after awhile though they would realize that being a stotan doesn’t mean you have to beat everything that comes your way. Just do it with as much integrity and strength you have. But if you don’t make it, it’s ok. You tried, and didn’t give up, and that’s what being a stotan means.

I think Colleen would become a larger character in the book, becoming better friends with Lion, Nortie, and Walker. She would need people to talk to about Jeff in this time of remorse. I think she would also become pretty good friends with Elaine.

I believe Elaine would also realize that dating Mr. Wilson just wasn’t right. She seemed like a very levelheaded young lady. Dating a teacher didn’t seem like something she would do. I think he will find someone else, and she’ll be sad, but deal with it. I don’t think she would date Walker, but you never know. I think Elaine will stick with older men, seeing as she’s pretty mature for her age.

Speaking of Walker, I don’t think he’ll be able to break up with Devnee. I think eventually she’ll realize things will never really work out with her and Walker and she’ll break up with him. I think he’ll be so relieved, but sad at the same time. He definitely couldn’t decide between girls but he did have feelings. Like I said though, I don’t think Elaine and Walker will ever get together.

I don’t think Max’s problems with his ex-wife will ever get better. I think he’ll be able to see his daughter more, but never as much as he’d like to. I think he’ll tell his story to the boys, and they’ll use it to their advantage in the future.

I think that things will stay the same as far as Lion and Nortie go. Although I think Lion will learn to use his anger in a positive way. Maybe use it once in the pool! I think Nortie will stay with Milika and people will stop being negative about their relationship. I don’t think that people will ever be happy with it though.
This is just what I think. I’m sure you guys have other ideas! But tell me what you guys think!
