Literature Analysis #1 Space Station Seventh Grade

　
Seventh-grader Jason Herkimer narrates the events of his year, from school, hair, and pimples, to mothers, little brothers, and a girl. It is a story about a about a kids life through seventh grade year. Jason has a crush on a cheerleader, Debbie. He also has trouble fitting in at school. He goes through a lot of natural teenage problems and shares the experiences.

It was the end of summer and Jason was going into seventh grade. Jason was scared on the first day of school. By the end of the week he got used to school and he loved school. In P.E they took showers and Jason faced the wall because he didnt want to see the other guys junk and feel awkward. Then a week later he turned around and he didnt feel awkward anymore.

It was about 6 weeks into school and Jason wanted to tryout for the football team. When he was getting his physical the guy grabbed his gonads and Jason felt awkward. After 2 weeks of practice they had their first game when Jason was on the sidelines he noticed one of the chearleaders named and he wanted to get her attention but he didnt know how. Then one of Jasons teamates got injured and she was worried for him, and thats how Jason was going to get her attention but he never got in the game.

It was holloween and Jason was going to a campfire with his class and Debbie Breen the chearleader that Jason likes is going. They took two wagons getting pulled by tractors to the campfire and they were throwing things on the way and having fun. When they got to the campfire there was food and drinks. Jason wanted to talk to Debbie but he didn't know what to say, then Jason made a hotdog for Debbie and they started to talk and she sat next to him. While at the campfire the adults pulled a prank on the kids by making snake sounds and using rubber snakes.

This novel was good, and I plan on to read it again because it makes you laugh and some how relate to Jason. Other people in my class would love this book and would want to probably want to read it again.
