I think that the character I am most like is Katie.I am most like Katie because I would never cheat on a test. I would maybe think about it but never have the courage to. I would become very nervous just like Katie did when she kept wondering if a teacher was looking or if someone was suspicious about her. I would be to terrified because I would keep wondering about the many possibilities of what would happen to me.
ReplyDeletedoes it take courage to cheat?
Deleteyes, I think so because some people cannot just cheat without thinking about it or without any fear, some people don't have enough courage to cheat on a test without worrying at all.
DeleteDo we associate courage with cheats? Isn't one a positive word and the other a negative? Does any one else have an opinion on this
DeleteI think I am most like Katie because in the cheat despite having the answers with her, she knew that cheating wouldn't be the right way to handle the test. Katie didn't have the same thinking as the others who also were part of those with the answers and so she didn't do the same, she went her own way where she knew she wouldn't be caught doing a misdeed, or, if by chance, she got away with that, she atleat wouldn't be trapped with guilt. I know that in the same situation, I would have similar reactions.
ReplyDeleteI think I am most unlike Dan because even after getting caught by Mr. Chen- far from only feeling guilty - Dan, was all cool. I know beacuse I can never live with guilt built up in my mind, and, if the situation says that Dan doesn't feel guilty, that is impossible for me. Once I know I've done something wrong, even from the smallest mistakes, I can't get rid of guilt no matter how hard I try to push it away and be comfortable.

DeleteIs Dan this way because of how his parents are?
ReplyDeleteMr.cheney i think so because he mostly reacts like his parents do like when he went home with his mom after cheating and his mom gronded him,but his dad saved him and said its ok.I think his mom does not take as much side as his dad does and thats why dan reacts like that because he knows that his dad will save him every time he gets in trouble.

DeleteNow that you mention that, it makes more sense on why Dan acts the way he does. Usually a child would get there personality or attitude from there parents. I learned that from another text. In my opinion, Dan may act as he's "The Man" is probably the way his parents treat him or just how they are in general.

ReplyDeletei think i am mostly like ROB beacause like when he was cheating on the test and he would probably be very nervous and knowing he was cheating on the test he could be very scared what would happen if his parents found out that he cheated and thats exactly how i would react.also when he was sitting in the office with his head down and when mr chen told them that they had to get the test signed and that he had to recieve a call from there parents rob was really really scared and thats how i would react in a similar situatin and thats why i ammostly lie rob.
ReplyDeletethe charcter im most like is a combination between DAN and ROB and KATIE.i think im a part of dan cause hes kind of the cool guy who has swag and he plays lots of sports and i play lots of sports.i think im also a part of rob because when they called him to the office he was so scared and if i were in that situation i would be terrified what my dad would do to me.i am kind of like katie because who wouldnt be afraid of cheating on a mid term. i am a combination between all three of the charcters.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I think I'm like Sarah and Katie...
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit like Sarah becuse if i ever did get the answers to a test I would give them to some of my friends and we all would cheat...
I'm also like Katie because I'd be really scared to cheat on a test. We can commit a crime but its the guilt that haunts us inside. If I feel guilty i usually tell someone and sooner or later it get's around so why cheat? Others will find out and its just gonna suck... That's all.....
In my opinion, i would be somewhat like Rob because in tithe Cheating scheme, Rob was comfortable was comfortable with cheating on the midterm, he didn't fear anything at first. After the midterm, Rob, Sarah, and Dan was caught cheating on the midterm. Rob started to panic because of his day's consequences. I say I'm somewhat like Rob because if someone were to give me the answers to last year midterm, most likely I would have taken it. Although I might of got the answers, I would be taking the risk of getting caught. I'll probably be as nervous as Rob, because I don't want to get in trouble by my parents.
ReplyDeleteThe character that I'm most unlike is Dan because when Dan got caught, he remained calm and act as if everything is alright when really, it isn't. To me personally, I wouldn't be able to remain calm, I'll go all over the place, if I was in Dan situation. I compare myself to Rob because I know if I was in that situation, I'll be feeling the exact same way as him.
I'm most like rob because if I have ever cheated I wouldn't want to go home because I would be scared of what my parents did to me because they might have grounded me take my privileges away anx many other things so I wouldn't attempt the stunt
ReplyDeletethe character that i am most unlike would be dan because even after because even after getting caught cheatin on the test instead of feeling guilty he was all cool because i cant survive having that much guilt in me but talking about dan he is all confident thats why i am nothing like dan.
ReplyDeletei am most unlike sarah because i dont write poems i would never send answers over the internet.what sarah did makes no sense she should have kept the answers to herself, if she didnt send the answers to everyone her friends wouldnt be in the office.i think i am most unlike sarah cause i wouldn't cheat on a mid term and give the answers to my friend and get them in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI'm not like very much like Dan. I would feel guilty it I ever cheated. Unlike Dan I would be freaking out and be very guilty and Dan would be chilling
ReplyDeleteI mostly like Rob because if I was rob and if I decided to cheat on midterm exam. I would react the same as Rob did after getting caught on my midterm exam. Not going home. If were going I wouldn't tell my parents that I have cheated on midterm exam. Same as Rob did. he did go home I guess because he is afraid to tell his parent about what happen in the school.
ReplyDeleteI most unlikely Dan because I am not like Dan and I don't act like Dan
