 * Torey - Chapter 2 **

Well chapter two is about the C.E.O. and his daughter. He go’s with his daughter on a trip. She went to college at 16 and she went to harvard. His daughter thinks his dad shoes off when he try's to be a nice man. This relates to me because I want to be a generous successful man when I grow up. When I go out to eat with my dad I want him to leave a good tip because waitresses get paid about 3.50$ a hour. I hope I can be a good man and help put my daughter through school and tip great when I grow up.


 * Cody: Chapter 2 was about a guy named henry john MCcoy who was a C.E.O. his daughter like to read and write potery because she would read it to her father. people with signs destroyed henry car.**


 * i relate to henrys daughter because i like to write storys/ lyrics to songs and stuff like that.**


 * Jackiellen**

I relate to Henry because I can understand his relationship with his daughter. Henry is a person that keeps his thoughts and feelings concealed to himself. He was never really close to Emily when she was growing up so the trip that they are on is very awkward for the both of them. Emily and Henry don't usually see eye-to-eye on things. Emily can't understand why it is so hard for him to talk to her like a normal father. The truth is that Emily reminds Henry of Emily's mother, which hurts him because he misses her mother very much.

Henry is the CEO at Atlantic Pulp and Paper, and is the one responsible of causing the strike. His daughter has made him go on a weekend trip to New Hampshire even though he'd rather be working. But then Emily drives him to the paper mill to see the results of the strike first hand. Because of the lack of personal life and connections, he practically lives for his job. He doesn't have a true love for his job, but it gives his daughter the best life she can have.

Ch. 2 Chapter 2 is about the c.e.o (John McCoy) and his daughter going on a trip. His daughter went to college at 16. Henry, the c.e.o is not patient. When He and Emily go out to eat he leaves a 20 dollar tip and his daughter thinks that it is insulting and that really he was only “showing off.” But he said he was only being nice.
 * Lauren**

I can relate to John McCoy because I am not a very patient person and I like to be nice to people too. John McCoy Keeps his feelings and thoughts kinda to himself. Also in some situations I do the same.


 * Ashley C. John McCoy put a paper mill on strike for 8 months now. He also goes on a trip with his daughter. His daughter was 16 and went into college and went into Harvard. On the trip they stopped for something to eat. His daughter thought it was rude they he left a 20 dollar tip. **

In this chapter, John McCoy relates to me because, he has a good relationship with his daughter, and he cares what she thinks. Also if I were in that situation, I would probably give a good tip too.


 * Oscar**

Chapter 2 Analysis Chapter two is about the CEO of the paper mill. Him and his daughter are on a road trip. His daughter is really smart and went to college at Harvard at 16. He over tips the waitress and basically shows off his money. His daughter thinks he is showing off. I don’t think it would be mean to give the waiter the 20 dollars because they get paid so little. I don’t think his daughter is being fair to him. He is just trying to make a living just like the people that are on strike.

I relate to Henry because he is a person that keeps his thoughts and feelings to himself. I don't really like telling people what my feelings are because I don't know if they feel the same way and they may not know how i am feeling or anything! So if i tell them my feelings they might not really know what I am talking about.
 * Hannah**

I can relate to John mcCoy because i am **very** impatiant when it comes to anything! I hate standing in lines, i hate waiting for stuff!!! I can't stand waiting for stuff, and i get board. He also keeps his thoughts too himself, that is what i do! I hate telling people my feelings.

 * In chapter 2 of Ernie’s Ark it takes from the point of Mr. John McCoy. In this chapter McCoy’s daughter Emily takes him on a trip to try and get him to open up to her. At first she reads poetry during the car ride, which he doesn’t intend to stand, She then makes him stop at pancake shop and when he gives the waitress a twenty-dollar tip, He calls it been generous, and She calls it showing off. He then falls asleep in the car and she takes him to abbot falls Maine. She stops the car at the mill, and the men on strike beat the car and McCoy up.

I relate to McCoy in the fact that I have someone very annoying in my life, I’ve been to a pancake restaurant. I love to read poetry like his daughter, and my sister try’s to bring me on trips that I don’t really want to go on but she makes me.**

His name is Henry John McCoy and he is CEO of Atlantic Pulp &papers. His wife dead. He want to be a good father. He is going on trip with his daughter, though he has got a paper mill famously on strike. The strike makes him tired and worried. He had a quarrel with his daughter for a large tip. He often had a quarrel with his daughter during the trip. He didn't address his daughter by name. because her name is same with her mother. But later he address his daughter by name.They understand each other. I want to be a good sister like him. Sometimes I talk with my sister about troubles to solve them. If she do something wrong, I rebuke her. And sometimes encourage her. But sometimes have a quarrel with her like he has.

In chapter two Henry John McCoy,CEO of Atlantic Pulp and Papers is going on a trip with his daughter.He doesn’t know why he is going on this trip because he has a famous paper mill on strike. His daughter gets very mad at him for leaving a large tip on the table for the poor waitress.His daughter thinks he is trying to show off his money and gets very upset about it.After they leave she asks him if she can drive and then while in the passengers seat he fell asleep. This relates to my life because when I was born, the mill in Jay was going on strike. My father had just started to work there and the people that were on strike didn’t like him very much.Sometimes when I go to places to eat with my father he leaves a good tip for the waitress.He doesn’t leave a huge one because that is kind of like showing off.I don’t get mad when he leaves a good tip because I think its nice because they don’t get paid much and they need the money.
 * Jeremy**

This chapter is focused on Henry John McCoy, the CEO at the Atlantic Pulp and Paper. He is a 49 year old man who is very impatient, doesn't like secrets, but enjoys to infuriate people just to see what they'll do. He has a young daughter named Emily, whose mother had just died recently. Henry is the type who puts work before everything, even his wife's funeral. He believes that all the common man wants is money, and that's exactly his approach towards life. However, I believe that he truly loves his daughter, and wants to be a good father.
 * Grace:**

I can relate to Henry because when he finds out his daughter's bad news he seems sympathetic and upset, but doesn't really know how to comfort her. This reminds me of myself because when my friends or family is going through a rough time I'm usually not very good with helping them get through it, even though I'd like to. I can connect with him because I know what it's like to want to be able to be there for someone, but not be very good at it. I can also relate to Henry because, although he might not always show it, I think he is going through a hard time due to his wife's death. I relate to this because I've lost people very close to me, so I can imagine how he feels.

Chapter 2 was about a guy named Henry John MicCoy. He worked for the C.E.O. He has a daughter who likes to write poetry. One day when he was on his way home a bunch of people stood in the road with signs. He tried to drive by but they just damaged his car.
 * Colby**

I can relate to Herny’s daughter because sometimes I like to write stories during my free time when its not an assignment.

Chapter 2: At the Mercy

Henry John McCoy is the CEO of Atlantic Pulp and Paper in Abbott Falls, Maine. He wants to sell the mill. Henry hasn’t always been a wealthy man. He got wealthy by owning the company that runs five different mills, including the one in Abbot Falls. The strike is hurting him because he is losing money. He had to hire replacement workers to keep the mill going. He is having to pay lawyers, accountants, and attorneys. He is worried about going to the jail because of the problems with his business and with the strike. He believes that the common man, like his workers, only wants more money.

Just like Henry John McCoy, I don’t want to lose money. Right now, I am a ball boy at soccer games and wouldn’t want to lose money to a strike or to lawyers. I also, don’t want my job to cause me to go to jail. John McCoy is a father who’s job doesn’t let him spend time with his daughter. My father’s job doesn’t let him spend time with us very often. Henry doesn’t know his daughter very well, but my dad knows us very well. Henry didn’t seem to try to see his daughter, but my dad tries to see us.


 * Bryce**

In chapter 2 John McCoy and his daughter do not get along. John doesn’t know his daughter all the well because he isn’t really involved in her life. John McCoy is the owner of a big companie (aka. the mill), and his daughter is very much against what John is doing. John is the reason why alot of people have lost their job’s or got laid off. I relate to John’s daughter by me and my father, my father isn’t really involved in my life and when he is involved we argue and fight.

chapter two takes the point of John mcCoy the CEo of the mill. in this chapter mccoy and his daughter emily go on a trip and go to lunch so that emily can try and get mccoy to tell her things she wanted to know. mccoy never told her anything about the paper mill or anything else she wanted to know. McCoy's daughter told him that she loves him but mccoy doesn't respond. i can relate myself to john mccoy by his stubborn ways. sometimes i can be very cooperative and other times i can be very stubborn. i can also relate to his way of wanting to know about a lot of things, sometimes when i don't know its happening i ask people to many questions and really want to know a lot of different varieties of things
 * Trevor - chapter two**

I can relate to John for how he listens to his daughter even though he doesn't want to. People I don't like will still come talk to me and ask me for help and I help them anyway.
 * Aighdan-**
 * John seems like he isn't very thoughtful of other people. He regards himself highly and always thinks he pays to much for everything he owns. He has a tense relationship with his daughter and never seem to understand her and the choices she makes. He's upset with the fact that his mill is on strike and that's causing him to lose money and they put him in jail for it.**


 * Ashley W. In chapter 2, John McCoy (Who is the CEO Of the paper company) doesn’t completely understand his daughter. His wife is dead. John and Emily go on a trip together. John leaves a big tip for the waitress and Emily gets upset because she thinks he is showing off.**


 * I can defiantly relate because my dad and I don’t have a very strong relationship ourselves.**
