"The Pig-man and Me is a book with a lot of drama because it has very serious concepts. This boy lives with his mom and his little brother. His mom is a little crazy because she believes that society is always watching her publicly. This book is an auto biography of Paul Zindel.
I can connect this book to myself because sometimes I think that my family is a little crazy. even though they might act like it they are not. Sometimes they do crazy things. but those crazy things are what makes them a good person and fun to be around.
I would rate this book 4 stars because it was pretty funny because of the mother. but it was also a little sad because the mother could not take having kids that drive her crazy sometimes."
"This boy is about a kid, Paul who has a Pigman. The big story is all about what the secret of life is. As he meets new friends along the life in the house, he discovers what he will be when he grows up. I can make a text-to-self connection of me and Paul by curiosity and family issues. Paul has big issues in his life with everything. There are a lot of conflicts in Paul Zindel's life. I am also very curios of secrets and new things. I gave this book 5 stars because it is very fun to read and the story makes you feel like you are actually in the setting. I would recomend this book to readers who want to find out how no matter who you are, you are still special."
"This book is about the life Paul Zindel had and all the terrible things that happened to him until he had met his Pigman Nonno Frankie. Nonno Frankie had taught Paul all about the wonderful things of life. Paul's life turned completely around thanks to Nonno Frankie. Paul had lived with a suicidal Mother and older sister Betty.
I can connect a lot of people to this book because a lot of children have lived with at least part of paul zindel's life. For example a lot of kids live with bad parents or a bad life. Paul lives with a suicidal mother, most kids live with abusive mothers. Paul got help nfrom Nonno Frankie, most kids get help from social workers or teachers at their own schools. Basically I can connect thgis book to kids that are living with a bad life.
I give this book 3 stars because of Paul Zindel's sense of humor when times were bad for him."
"The Pigman and Me is rated "Young Adult." It is a humorous account of the teenage years of author Paul Zindel. Though it borders on inappropriate for a junior high audience, it never seems to quite cross the line. It is humorous and aptly captures those feelings that often make teens uncomfortable in school. The Pigman is a wonderfully down-to-earth character who teaches and guides with humor, compassion, and joy. All teens deserve such a support system in their lives to handle those instances over which they have no control. This was a quick and thoroughly enjoyable read."
