butter by erin jade lange chapter summaries

You have no idea how much that meant to me because that’s what goes through my mind every day I look at my little brother. Not that he could think for himself or want to do big things just like the rest of mankind. He realized that when people’s faces washed over with pity, they weren’t looking at Billy D. He believed in him, and he began to hate it when others would give him a free ride just because of his disability. Butter by Erin Jade Lange, 2012, ISBN: 9781599907802Plot Summary: Butter is tired of being fat. Summary Butter, written by Erin Jade Lange, is a book about a lonely, overweight high school boy who only wants to fit in. One that didn’t automatically brand him as a boy with Down Syndrome or a disabled person. Which is what made me love Dane throughout the rest of the book. Frankly, I wanted someone to beat up Dane for a change just so I could let the steam out of my ears. This incident is pretty indicative of his life though, in which he is constantly belittled, and made to feel invisible, despite his massive size. He is going to eat himself to death-live on the Internet-and everyone is invited to watch. Summary: Butter is a 423-pound lonely teen, nicknamed after an incident in which he was bullied into eating an entire stick of dirty butter. That he called him “retarded.” That he referred to him as “Special Ed.” I HATE that, and I hear it all the time in the school system. A lonely obese boy everyone calls 'Butter' is about to make history. Which is why I absolutely hated Dane at the beginning. Not that I have Down’s myself, but that I have an eight-year-old little brother born with DS who I love more than words can express and is my entire life. Reason Numbah Four I Love Dead Ends: Despite my dissimilar situation to either Dane or Billy D., I was still able to relate somewhat to the fact that Billy had Down Syndrome.
