"Lemon Brown"

My reaction to the story about Lemon Brown wasn't really big, because during the story the context clues were leading up to how Lemon Brown was going to be homeless and how he would look like. This story connects to what we have been learning because we've been learning about homelessness, and Lemon Brown is homeless because he just lives in an abandoned house on the block. What I found interesting about the Lemon Brown story is that even though he was homeless he was still happy about things. Most people who are homeless, usually look sad and depressed. But, Lemon Brown was telling Greg all these stories about how he was a kid he was having a bad time, but then as time passed by he started to realize that all those 'bad' things were for his own good. He also told Greg about how he had a treasure, which were his prized possessions from back then. I think that Greg did change because of the stories that Lemon Brown was telling him. Lemon Brown was telling Greg that his parents would always tell him to do things better. Greg was also having problems with his parents because they weren't letting him play ball anymore because he had bad grades. But, when Lemon Brown was telling him his stories Greg was starting to recognize the fact that his parents were trying to help him in raising his grade up, and not just let him play ball all the time.
