    I think that Byron would be sad, and probably angry to live in Alabama for the summer, because he already has friends, and a life in Michigan.

    I think Byron felt upset and left out. I think he feels unwanted. If my parents didn't take me on vacation with them, i would think they didn't want me. But Byrons parents are just trying to help him stop getting into trouble but i don't think Byron cares.

      I TOTALLY agree with you Abby, because Byron doesn't really tell people feels, but I think way down deep inside he feels left out and unwanted,

      I agree I would feel sad and left out if my parents left me with some to go on vacation. Byron was just wanting to be cool. He didn't realize that his parents were just trying to help.

    I think he might like it because he won't have to be near his "annoying" little sibblings. But he'll hate it because he won't be able to hang out with buphead, and that Grandma Sands is very strict!

    He feels upset that he has to leave his friends and family, but hes to "cool" to admit it. I think of this because hes upset when they tell him the news.

      I agree, Byron would be upset. I also agree with the "cool part", that is because he only told his friend Buphead that he was upset about going to Alabama.

    I think he would feel bad, because he would be sent away from his friends, and the life he was used to, to a new life that was new and more strict than his old life.

  36. Camryn M.December 13, 2013 at 4:00 PM

    I think he feels really made and sad. The reason why I think he's REALLY sad is, because he might feel like his parents don't love him as much as Kenny and Joey. I think that is how he feels, because that is EXACTLY how I would feel.
