It was a warm summer day at Devon and me and my posse was going to the big tree by the lake. Naturally I’m leader of our posse, mainly because I’m just awesome and great at everything. Especially sports which is mainly all I do at Devon. I’ m not necessarily the best scholar, that’s more of my best friends, Gene, strength.  So as I was saying we were going to this tree by this lake which we me and some people were going to jump out of. Naturally I was the first to jump out of the tree mostly because that’s just the kind of person I am. I always like to try new things, especially when those things involve danger in some sort of way.  I didn’t want to be the only one jumping out of the tree though, that’s not fun at all if I just do it by myself. So obviously I grabbed my best friend Gene to do it with me we did. Me and him went up to the tree and we everyone was pressuring us to jump. It was so exhilarating, it’s nearly impossible to make it across without the risk of falling into the shallow water. We both jumped, it was the most exciting thing ever! We both made the jump and everyone was so ecstatic! We pretty much felt like the most awesome people ever after that.  I’d have to it was an experience of a life time.  

Picture 1 : 
This picture is relevant to the novel because it shows a tree by a lake which represents the tree that the boys jump out of in the book.


Picture 2 : 
  
This is relevent to the novel because it shows a person in front of a group of people suggesting that he is a leader. In the novel Finny is the leader of his friends.




“Naturally,  Finny was going to be the first to try, and just as naturally he was going to inveigle others, us, into trying it with him.
“Finny got up, patted my head genially, and moved on across the field not deigning to glance around for my counterattack, but not relying on his extrasensory ear, his ability to feel the air someone coming from behind”
