I love Esme's style of teaching and all the activities she is continuing to do with the class because they seem so fun and creative. My favorite one in this section of the book is the time machine. I was actually shocked that none of the kids blew the cover that it wasn't real but it was also really awesome that they went along with it for the class's sake. Esme kind of shocked me with her behavior in this section because she let Mr. Turner get to her and I was disappointed when she did. I did not expect her to cry and get angry about it, I thought she would just shake it off and ignore him like she usually does. However, I don't blame her because he would get on my nerves to the point of a breakdown if I were her too. I was confused when Ms. Coil took her to her apartment to move random furniture just to talk about how she prefers to be called Madame. I thought that was strange because she could have just asked her that in the school. When Esme claimed she wants to be a librarian, I totally agreed with that idea because that would be the perfect job for her since she gets her students so involved with books.
