Dan was so confident not to worry about being caught cheating. He was cocky and arrogant about the situation. But he was the first one to snitch and cave in to save himself in Mr. Chen's office! What do you think about Dan? Is he realistic and is this behaviour realistic?

United We Stand 4
Hey Team,
It is clear that we are nearing the end of a novel. We have been reading about Will and company for 4 months now, what do you think will happen at the end of the novel when Will arrives home? How will his mom act? What will happen with James mother?
James has seemingly "seen the light" and seems destined to become a firefighter, do you think Will is as passionate about his future?
