1.In Leon's class, Ten minutes before the end of class, Leon calls on Bailey who is the smartest kid in class. Leon call Bailey go to the in front of the classroom and criticize to him that Bailey had cheated on his all of test. Then, Leon hit Bailey's cheek purposely and just say "I'm sorry" without deeply apology. After the bell rings, Leon compliments Bailey on his bravery, and berates the students for watching the exchange and for enjoying it. Leon turns the tables, saying that the others were really the cheaters because they doubted Bailey.
2.I chose this because this is show us that new source of evil is revealed. Teacher Leon chooses a completely innocent victim. Actually, Bailey didn't do any wrong thing. However, Leon blame his student who is Bailey in front of students. Actually, I don't know that what's going on in this chapter. Because each chapter has different story and mail person. Just I chose this one because teacher make one innocent student ashame and was blamed by him because of teacher's some purpose. Until now, there are teacher kind of Leon in reality. I know that , so when I read this one, really I want to change this problem. Moreover, this story make me more expect to after this story.

1. I think that It tells story depend on person. When I read chapter 1 , it was about Jerry. And when I read chapter 2 , it was about Obie and Archie. Like this. It's background is Trinity School. Jerry who is freshman , Archie who is a leader of The Vigils , and Leon who is teacher. Depend on these three person, The story is develop.
2. Until now, I think "Archie" is the most interesting character. Because he is a leader of The Vigils which is not exist officially. Because of this position, teacher 'Leon' use 'Archie' for his purpose. Archie realized this , but he didn't complain to teacher anything. He show me that student's week attitude.
3. Leon asked to Archie that sell chocolate. This year, chocolate's amout are more twice than last year. Archie have to gather all of students in school. Especially, The Vigils's member. I think that the story will be about how to Arechie gather all of students.

Hello :)
Hello, My name is Seoyi ! I come from Korea. I'm the only child in my family. I have been Seattle about 7 months. I had lived in my hostfamily before i moved to my apt. But, that house was too far even i couldn't get school on time. So i decided to move out. Last year, I graduated from high school and went to university for half a year. My major was about broadcasting. But, I don't like that university because I felt waste money, time and wanted to change major. When finished a semester, I decided to go to US for study. Actually, I don't decide my major yet. In my opinion, English is basic knowledge for me whatever my job will be. So, I want to graduate university in US and then go back to Korea find a job ! I can't talk with new friend easily. I don't like present in front of students. Because my face become red T.T Anyway, glad to meet Gail and all of the classmates :)
