The book I'm reading is "Road to Memphis" . The main theme of this chapter is friendship. The main theme is friendship, know this because the name of chapter two gave it away "Friendship", even if it didn't say friendship; I would know that this is the theme because in this chapter Stacey, Cassie, Moe, and Willie,also the main character had been talking about going to college. Then Moe, his dad, and the rest of the friends were talking about Moe having a car and where they going to keep it.

If I had been Moe I would have ask for each person to contribute some money because they were telling him want he should do with him money. Also I have a connection between the tittle and the book. The book talks about going to college and they may all be going to a college in Memphis.

The book I'm reading is"The Road to Memphis". The main theme of this chapter is about not having patience. I know that this is the main idea because the narrator was being impatient when he and his brothers Christopher-John, and Little Man were waiting for their older brother Stacy, at the bus stop. The narrator was being like that because it was a hot day and they had waiting there for about an hour. Even though he was going to be happy to see, Stacy the bus was taking to long. His brother Christopher-John was getting very frustrated because he couldn't stand people always complained. The narrator was being selfish because he wasn't worried about his brother.
I would have started walking toward where the bus should have been coming from to make sure my brother was okay even though it was hot or dangerous. I would have been mad when the bus came because the wake was to long.
