  16. My favorite character is Calvin because he is funny,energetic and cool.

    Yes,I would love to be Calvin's friend because He is nice,kind and funny.

    If I lived in Hawaii my life would change because I would live by the water I'd surf and look at volcaneos.

    I've never been bullied but if I did I'd walk away and tell them treat people how you want to be treated.

  19. Calvin Coconut is a good book and I say that it would NOT be good to be friends with Calvin because he is always getting in trouble.Tito is always bulling Calvin.And my favorit character is Calvin Coconut.No one is bulling me at school.It would be different to live on a island in Hawaii because I would live next to an ocean.If someone did try to bully me I would tell a teacher.
