"Solomon"

After spending a few hours with Solomon, Alex makes his case to the judge that he should have a different community service assignment. The judge promptly denies his request. At this point, whose opinion do you support? Why?

I agree with the judge solomen seems like a perfect macth for alex even though he doesent think so. I think they will become good friends.

i support the judges. if alex is going to have to learn his lesson hes gunna have to do something he really dreads and doesnt like doing.

i support the judges opinion because alex was assigned to solomon first and should have to stick with him.

I agree with the judge becase he needs to learn how to deal with his problems and not run away from them. I think Alex will learn from Solomen Lewis.

I support Judge Judy because even though Alex hates this assignment/punishment, he still has to learn his lesson not matter how hard it is for him.

I agree with the judge because alex should learn from his mistakes and this is his job. Not only that but it seams that it is also for Solomon.

I would agree with the judge's because Alex did a bad thing and he deserves to be with Solomon for what he did. Also I think that the judge knows Solomon a little and knows that Solomon will lead Alex on the right path. Also she is thinking that Alex and Solomon will become good friends so she is sticking with what she said his punishment would be. Alex doesn't see it now but he will understand why Judge Judy stuck Alex with Solomon and eventually like the decision she made for him.

i agree with judge judy, if alex is going to learn from his mistake he is going to do something he really doesn't like and do it. He doesn't want to get his way, if he is learning a lesson.

I support Alex's opinion because I would not want to work with Solomon either if he was that mean to everybody who volenteers with him.

Because she knows that solom will teach him good lessons and she wants himto larn his lessons so he dosent do it again

I think that Alex should have to stay with Solomon even if he isnt being very nice at first. They will probably get along after they get to know that they have things in common.

i think Alex is learning alot form solomon...

...I know Alex is really not wanting to do his community thing but the judge is really giving him a brake! i mean he is only having to do that instead of like JAIL! He needs to suck up and just do his simple task to show the judge he learned his lesson...so even though he is really not wanted to do it he needs to stop complaining!

i support the judges case because punishment isnt supposed to be fun so alex shouldnt get an assignment change

i think the judge picked the right person sence he was drunk driving and got in trobble for the first time so it teaches him a lesson

Anonymous said...

i guess i will support solomons opinion cuase this might good for alexs choices and so forth besides what if he makes solomon happy. that might be good for te whole hospital.

I support the Judge's opinion because Alex is learning patience and how to be reasonablewith crazy annoying of farts of men. He is learning a very important life lesson. Pretty soon he will learn how to deal with this particular old fart and will survive this community service assignment.

i agree with the judge alex did the crime naw he needs to do the time and solome is funy i would like to be with him

Right now i support Judge Judy's opinion because of Alex has done. but if Solomon gets ruder then he already is then I'll take Alex's side.

I support the judges opinion because she knows that if Solomon needs help he can get it quickly from one of the nurses or doctors near the room and Alex needs to learn responsibility and Solomon Lewis is going to be the one to teach him this lesson.

I agree with the judge. Alex has to learn his lesson somehow. And its not going to be with someone he likes.

i think the judge is right...i dont think kids who get in trouble r bad but i do think they should have a cosiquence..ithink it is good that she did not let him switch because it hould not be a walk in the park for him and i think after a while he will start to like sol

Anonymous said...

i very much support the judges, because alex commited the crime and this is his punishment and in prison you can't trade in punishments, and solomon is just what alex needs someone who will keep him on his toes, and teach him to care and respect others

I think that the judge judy was right. they make a perfect match because there alot alike

I agree with the judge. Solomon will make Alex learn his lesson for sure

I agree with Judge Judy. If Alex is gonna learn any lesson from any one it is gonna be solomon, they seem, a lot of like and even though it sounds like they see eye to eye, Solomon is always ten steps ahead, which really upsets Alex but hey dont do the crime if you cant do the time.

I agree with Juge Judy because she is right about Alex. He needs some hard work.

Anonymous said...

Alex just needs to give solomon some time. Of course, no one would like to be in the same room with him at first, but even i think he would be likable later on. ALex needs to think of solomon and a leader, maybe he can learn alot about solomon after being with him for a while.

Anonymous said...

at this time i totally support Judge Judy because she understands that what alex did was wrong and that he needs to learn from his mistakes.. and alex needs to realize that

i agree with the judge alex did something wrong he should be grateful he didnt have to go to jail and gets to help an old man who cant live without help

Anonymous said...

i support Judge Judy's opinion because it he will get something out of working with Mr. Lewis.

I think the chapter solomon was pretty good. I think Solomon Lewis is good for Alex, even though Alex's really thinks he is crazy, but since he did something really wrong, he gets what he dislikes. It wouldn't be right if he got to pick his punishment, since he would probably pick something that is fun or not as bad as Sol. But i'm not quite sure if judge judy will give in on him since he keeps begging!!

Anonymous said...

i support Judge Judy's oppinion cause he did the crime he has to live up to it and finish to learn a lesson. he does seem like the perfect match for Solomon

Anonymous said...

As i put myself in Alex's shoes, i totally understand what he means... i mean honestly, that is scary! a guy almost dieing because you don't know how to aid him! however i do support the judge because alex hates his job! so! i think that alex will actually learn his lesson because he knows that if he does something to get in trouble with the law again he is going to probably doing the same thing with a "resident" and he won't want to do this so maybe he will stay outta trouble!!

Judge Judy's because Alex needs to learn to stick to something even though it's hard. Alex will learn a lot from this experience and it will be good for him to experience.

Anonymous said...

i support the judge's opinion b/c alex will learn a life lesson from talking to Solomon i think. alex needs to learn something other than being in jail where you don't learn much.

Anonymous said...

Judge Judy because Alex decided to be stupid and he should have to do something that his parents(mom) approves to.

I support Judge Judy because I believe you shouldn't give up just because something is hard

i agree with the judge taking care of solomen for a while doesnt seem like a crule punishment for this case because he could have had to sit in jail for a long time and that would be every day he does not have to go see solomon every day

Anonymous said...

Like most of the class said I agree with the judge because that is a very fare compromise from the judge.

I agree with the judge, Alex needs the disaplin. I think him and solomen will start to understand eachother and become good freinds.

Anonymous said...

i think that solomin is honestly a stuck up, stubbern, old man who needs to learn to take a chance and a risk.I can relate to this charictor because he wont let anyone get close he pushes everyone away.

I am glad that the Judge Judy declined Alex's request on the comunity service change because I agree that he will eventaluy learn something very useful from Solomon.

Anonymous said...

Alex needs to start to agree with the fact that Soloman is a perfect person to work with for a community service assignment. I'm sure somehow Alex will realize that Soloman is an exact replica of Alex, himself.

I support Judge Judy because she probably thinks Alex will not learn anything from this experiance if he does a job that is easier.

The judge because it's a good way for Alex to learn his asingment by dionig something he doesn't want to do.

i agree with teh judge. alex may hate solomen but thats what he gets for drinking and driving. and you never know they could start likeing each other

Anonymous said...

i dont realy know what to put yet.... but i think she knows that they make a good match! and she knows that alex will learn a good lesson from being with solomon!!!

I would have to agree with the Judge so that Alex will have to learn a lesson (hopefully) and think things through.

I think Sol is mad and has no clue in what to do because he has no family.

I agree with judge trent,solomen has everything in common with Alex and hes been through a lot.He can teach Alexa lot about life and how to live moment for moment wihtout getting a hole lot of trouble.They are the best match you could find.

Anonymous said...

after spending some time with sol i see that he is just lonly and plays pranks to make him self feel good but im not saying he is a bully he just needs a friend like alex

Anonymous said...

I support the judges side.Why? Because i think that the judge is trying to show Alex that he needs to communicate and see the troubles that others are having!

Anonymous said...

I support the Judge's oppinion all the way. Alex needs to learn some responsibility and how to care for others. He is destined to this case and will learn something over time.

i think solomon is a great person for to learn his lesson from

i agree with the judge because solomon creates a conflict for alex which will help him learn from his mistakes.

i agree with the judge. i think that alex is realy starting to open his eyes about things, so i think its a great idea that the judge made him stay with Sol.

i thinkt that the judge made a good choice in people...solomon will teach him a good leson and he should have to stay with his firts assignment.

I think judge judy is making Alex go with Solomon Lewis because Alex and Solomon are the same in their personality's, but at the same time, they need to learn from each others problems.

Anonymous said...

I agree with Judge Trent's opinion because I believe that Alex and Solomon will actually end learning something from each other and will become great friends.

I support the judge because she is tring to show Alex how to work with diffacult people.

I support the judges opinion because Soloman and Alex seem to be becoming better friends after a while. Alex does not seem to realize that Solomon is too, almost a spitting image of Alex.

Once i read more about Solomon i thind he has a good side that he doesnt want anyone to know about.

I agree whith the judge because Alex might learn somthing from solsmon.

Anonymous said...

I agree with Judge Judy I think that Alex is just sending the letters because he is hoping to make the judge feel sorry for him in the hope that she will give him an easier job. I think this because I would probably do the same thing.

Anonymous said...

I still support the Judges opinion after having read farther in the story because even Alex found that he had a lot to learn about himself, and Solomon is teaching him these things. Now I realize that Solomon may end up finding out a lot about himself aswell, at the same time. Two completely different people teaching the other to live with themselves.

i agree with the judge because alex made a mistake so he should have a consequence, and it shouldnt be easy and handed to him because he is supposed to learn something from all of it.

Solomon i beleive is going to have something terribly wrong going on whether it is going to happen in the family or he is gonna have a terrible health problem coming up to disrupt his life.

I think Solomon might die because it sounds to good to be true and usually when things are like that there are not true.
