1. One thing that helped me be successful in terms of organizing time was sleeping at a specific time and waking up at a certain time. Also, to organize time, I have this white board that I write on telling me all of my classes.

2.One thing that I did this week that I enjoyed was reading this book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. When I read the book, it just helps me relax and de-stress.

1.Who's kid is this? When it comes to whose kid it is, it is Cut's kid. Also the kids father is missing . 2. What does Lucero do for the kid? Lucero gives the kid 2 hamburgers to eat. 3. What are the other guys doing while he is eating? They are peeing on the guy, Eggie, while he is knocked out and just fool around the whole time. 4.  What do you notice Lucero doing at the end of the scene while the kid eats? As the kid is eating I noticed that Lucero was just watching him, and not just looking at him but making it a priority to stare at him as he eats. For example, the boy goes to hide as he eats and Lucero watches over him as he goes to either reassure his well-being or to just stare at him. Something else that I observed was that although he bought the burgers for the kids and was watching him, he doesn't really express any emotion throughout his actions.  5. So what?
