Am I BLUE ?

           Vince is a 16 year old boy who doesn't really COMPLETELY know  his sexual orientation. There is another boy "Butch Carrigan" who bullies Vince constantly calling him names and saying that Vince is gay. For example, when the story first started; 
                        "You little fruit" he snarled."I'll teach you to look at me!".
             Later after being thrown in mud Vince looks up to a handsome shining man who clams to be his fairy god father. At first Vince does not believe him but him but than Melvin ( his fairy god father) uses his magic to clean him up from the mud and gives him three wishes. With two of the wishes and "gaydar" Vince soon realizes that he's no alone and even the people who he LEAST expected to be gay had some "blue" in them. ( In the gaydar if you are blue you are gay or you have a hint of gay in you). He even discovers that Butch Carrigan was blue! 
             This story really teaches you to except your differences and be who you are and not what other people expect or want you to be. I think Vince realizes that in the end when he says "I've decided to save it for when i really need it - maybe when i meet the girl of my dreams. Or prince charming. Whichever." about his last wish

  1. Cheyenne your blog post was very interesting.i liked how you used a line from the book to explain how they would bully him and what they would say to him.you also made it clear that it was fiction.I also really like how you added your thinking and telling us to be who we are and not to be who people want us to be.over all i like your post and think that you should add more of you thinking.you might also want to add more of how the kid feels.but i think you did a Good Job!!!!!! :D
