After finishing their first poem, the class went to a theme park where they all had a great time taking all the rides they wanted. It was Luanne's treat, a promise she made for the students.
She continued to teach poetry. Everyday they read poems that would lead them discussing about their English grammar subject. Again what she was doing extended up to Mr. Grundy, questioning her why is she giving poetry as a tool in learning, which is, according to him, is not a good help for brats like her students. Ms. J hasn't convinced him, but she said she"d continue what she's doing, which she thinks what is right for her students. Poetry, according to her, is a reward of its own.
Months have passed and now her students have mellowed down. They now easily listen to Ms. J on what she"ll be teaching. They have created empathy inside their classroom. But still Emilio never gave himself a chance to participate. .
With the participation of the whole class, Ms. J. announced the "Dylan-Dylan" contest. Here the students have to find a poem of Bob Dylan, which has exactly the same theme of the works of poet Dylan Thomas. As a prize they got to dine at the best restaurant in town, The Flowering Peach, the students have heard of it but haven't been there, and it made a great incentive for them. The contest winners are Raul, Callie, and Darrell. But Callie can't come on the night they get to have the prize because she had to work. Ms. J. promised her to bring her the prize even if she can't come.
At Flowering Peach only Raul was present. He told Ms. J. that Darrell had to work to so he can't come. Dinner was over when Raul ask permission to her that he"ll not be coming to school in a week of two, for he have to work to pay the jacket he's wearing. He bought it to a guy on the streets. That guy stole the jacket from another, and sold it to Raul for a lower price. Raul has to pay it back; he's going to get killed by the guy.
