Fat Boy Chronicles




             I just finished reading Fat Boy Chronicles. It was a good book overall that taught that if you keep trying and dont give up you will succeed, in this case it was an obese boy that was being teased and he was very determined to lose weight after he went to his doctor and he said that if he doesnt lose weight or get healthier then he will be obese for the rest of his life. throughout the book Jimmy kept on losing weight and journaling for his class. the journalhelped jimmy overall by helping nto show him what he needs to do and all of the progress that he made throughout the year. Jimmys goal was to lose 60lbs and by the end of the book he had reached his goal and was very proud of himself.

Fat Boy Chronicles

       My book is Fat Boy Chronicles. It is about a boy at high school who gets teased about his weight and has other problems in school. The book is based on a real person and this persons name was Doug, but is Jimmy in the story, and he went to Mason which is my same school so I can relate with some of his experiences here and understand him better than if it was someone from a different school. In the story he describes different places around the school and I can tell where these places are and it helps me see it better.

        Jimmy describes himself going to his friends house and his friend wanted to go to a party that Jimmy didn't want to go to. Eventually Jimmy was convinced by his friend to go to the party. when Jimmy get to the party there is alot of drinking and drugs at the party. When he starts to walk around he sees a girl at the party that he liked and she was drinking. After the party he didn't view her as attractive as he did before.
