Fear and Terrance-L.O.G.K.

Terrance appears on Gabe's list of fears.Why do you think Gabe is so afraid of Frita's big brother Terrance?

Have you ever been afraid of someone? Why were you afraid of them?

1 Because he's 18 chases him and taught Frita how to fight. Besides he's very big and vonient. And Gabe is scared of 6 th grader.


2 I can't think of any one but I'm sure I have been. mostly every one is nice.

① I think Gabe is afraid of Terrance because he always picks on him/ bullies him. Gabe is already afraid of Fritas basement. When he went down into her basement, it was dark... but then he saw it... Blood ont he wall, which made him scared. Then as he was scared, Terrance popped out of nowhere and scared Gabe. Gabe was so scared he went bolting out of the basement.

#1 I think Gabe is so afraid of Terrance because he is tough and mean. He could probably hurt Gabe so Gabe tries to stay out of his way.

#2 I'm sometimes afraid of my mom when she gets frustrated or REALLY mad because she yells alot when she's angry.

1. I think that Gabe is scared of Terrance because he is very scary and violient. Gabe is the real opposite of Terrance. Terrance is really tuff and enjoys scarring Gabe and Freta.

2.I'm afraid of Monsters like Big foot,vampires and aliens. Because they 're very creepy and weird.

I think that he was scared because,Terrance has all these punching bags so he probly thinks he is going to beat on him.alos he had some bad exspreens with him when they were hiding under the stair case and he saw them.Plus frita said that when she punched dudk in the nose that she lerned it from her brother, so he probably thinks he will do that to him.

ebecause he's big and he likes to scare people. He would probably scare me being older and taller and hang out in a creepy basement. Thats just weird. He has punching bags everywhere he probably has some anger problems. Maybe his had a hard life and his been bullied.

2. Yes,because he was big and pushy and talked mean. He was always pushing me around. Just not a nice person.

I THINK he is scared of him because terrance is one of those kids who punches a bag all day long. Terrence is sort of like rocky balboa the guy in the movie about boxing. I like that movie`

I think Gabe is afraid of Terence because he thinks Terence is tough and will beat him up one day.I also think Gabe is afraid of him because he stays down in that old basment all the time and that makes Gabe afraid of him.

I think Gabe is scared of him because he is so big and tough and at the beginning of the story it said when Frida and Gabe were in the basement and Terrance was there and he scared the begiigiis out of them and he started chasing them.


My mom because she had kissed me good night and somehow she got back in stuck her hand in my bed and started scraping my leg.

# 1. I think Gabe is afraid of Terrance because Terrance seems really big and strong and i think the fact that he saw "blood" on the wall made it worse.



# 2. I haven't really been afraid of any body probably because I haven't been bullied like Gabe

Ok readers,you all have good points as to why Gabe might be frightened of Terrence. However, here is another question for you. Why is Frita not afraid of him? He is her big brother,acts tough, stays in the basement and tries to scare them both. Frita does not appear scared at all. Why doesn't Gabe think about that? How come Frita's attitude toward her big brother does not influence how he feels about Terrence? I really wonder about that. Gabe certainly looks up to Frita, and seems to trust her. Why doesn't he follow her lead about her brother?

Q2.I don't think I've ever been afraid of someone.I've never really been bullied or pushed around by someone.I do know other people who have been afraid of someone because they were getting bullied by that person.

Q3.I think Frita's plan will work.I think it will work because if you work at something really hard it will usually come out the way you want it to come out.I also think it will work because when you face you're fear's head on and don't stop trying to get over them you're fear's will start to go away one by one.

I don't think Gabe will be able to get over all his fear's though in time for 5th grade.

2.I have been afraid of some of the kids in my class like Candice.[Just joking;]But seriously I have been in some situations like Gabe. When I was in preschool I would get punched and kicked around like a soccer ball. Unlike Gabe I could not fend for myself. I told on him time and time again but it did not work. I hope Fritas plan works!

1. I think Gabe is afraid of Terrance because he probably thinks that Terrance is going to hurt him or beat him up. Also, in the chapter that Terrance turns up in, he startles Gabe and even scares the reader a little.

2. I don't think I'm really afraid of anyone except Michael but he doesn't count because he is my brother and I love him. I think I'm only afraid of THINGS not people.

Extra: Also, to what Ms. Simonds asked when she blogged:
"Why do you think that Frita isn't afraid of Terrance?"
I think that she just gets used to him bullying her and also, your brother and sister is your family and you should always love your family no matter what. So, I think that Frita was just thinking "It's my brother. What should I be afraid of?".
