Blog 2

Dear the random roamers of the internet and blogger because you most likely have no life,

There are a lot of stories in the book King of the Mild Frontier that I found enjoyable. In this blog that is what I am going to tell you all about. There is the story of how he tries to get into the C club and has to go through some of the most outrageous challenges of his life. There is also the scene where he gets shot in the head by the bb gun that his older brother brought over. Finally there is the scene where his brother breaks his plaque and tells him Esus is Jesus’s brother. These are my favorite scenes so here they come.
First there is the scene whit the crazy stunts that he pulls to get into the C club. As soon as someone letters it is almost mandatory that they join this club. First they have to go around and do what ever their selected letterman wants them to do. It is mostly running stupid errands and having you do things that will impress whichever lady friends they might want to. Then the fun part comes. At night you have to go to the gym naked and perform dumb things until you are done. First there is the oyster eating contest that you must participate in. They set a plate down in front of you with oysters and to continue to the next task you must eat the entire plate without puking anything up. Then the best part comes. There is a shoe in front of everyone, and an olive at the other end. The contestants had to run down to the other end of the gym and pick up the live in between their butt cheeks and run back to the other end and drop the olive into the shoe. The best part is that if you got last you had to go and eat all of the other olives right out of the shoe with what ever condiment there are on them. There are a couple of more tasks but when you finish them all then you are part of the club and get to go into the locker room and put you clothes back on (King of the Mild Frontier chapter 5)
The chapter about the bb gun was short but still one of my favorites. Chris and his brother have always wanted a bb gun but their father won’t let them. When they learn that their parents are leaving and one of their friends have a bb gun then they know what they must do. When the friend gets there the brother convinces Chris to go and run from tree to tree while the brother and his friend shoot at him. When he gets hit the brother finds a way to get out of getting in trouble for that and the whole subject is never talked about again (King of the Mild Frontier Chapter 8)
The final story is the story of Esus, Jesus’s brother. When Chris went to Sunday school every week for a year he got a prize. It was a glow in the dark plaque that said Jesus on it. Chris loved his new plaque and when his brother came down to look at it he ended up breaking it so that it only said Esus. His brother also got out of this so he didn’t get in trouble but in a quite interesting way. He convinced his brother Chris that Esus was a real person and he was Jesus’s brother and he was the one that made miracles. He also told Christ that if he told anyone people would know that he knew about Esus and no one was supposed to know about Esus. He told him that Esus was a secret and if he told anyone that he knew about it that the plaque would be taken away and he would never be able to see it again (King of the Mild Frontier Chapter 7)
