Big Mouth
The story takes place in Rocky River High School, a community around New York city. It starts off in the beginning of January; a Thursday afternoon until April. I think the theme of the story would be that people in your life could come and go , and you wouldn't expect the things that they do for you.
& Ugly Girl
Joyce Carol Oates
Matt Donaghy, "Big Mouth" is a fairly popular student at school that likes to make people laugh. He's part of the school paper and vice president of his class. (His story is written in 3rd person.) Ursualla Riggs, "Ugly Girl" is a student who doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She has an unfeminine appearance and a basketball player on the girls' team. (written in 1st person)
The story starts off when Matt Donaghy is excused by two,tall police men from his class. Matt was reported about a bomb threat in school, by unidentified students. Suddenly, rumors begin to spread throughout the school about Matt's "arrest/bomb-scare." He loses his friends and gets bullied, Until he recieves an e-mail from Ursula Riggs. She was a witness and knows that Matt didn't mean any harm to the school. She tells the principal, right away; that Matt was overheard and his innocent joke was taken seriously. He starts getting his friends back, including his new relationship with Ursula Riggs.
I thought the book was good. It talks about the characters' daily life and how they deal with school; which we could relate to. I would recommend this book to people who questions after what's going to happen next.
