My Answers:
Some of the problems are being resolved while some of the problems are continuing to be developed. An example of those that are being resolved is that his blazer was ruined, but GI Joe brought it to Aunt Pol's laundry to have it dry wash and clean. An example of those problems that are not being resolved is that he did not dare to expose himself to anyone as in the novel, Page 30, GI Joe said that he should have reported the case.
That's my answer.

Yes , most of Jimmy's problems are being developed by the characters around him , while only a minor part of his problems are being resolved . For example , when Vicotr Swift soaked his belongings which included the blazer , GI Joe offered Jimmy to have the blazer sent to the laundry for dry-cleaning . In this instance , GI Joe helped Jimmy to solve one of his problems . Jimmy's problems taht are ebing developed can be caused by Vitor and his friends , who are constantly bullying him on his physical appearance . Jimmy , having to face his heavy and bulk body was a heavy burden to him , yet Victor and friends had to make him feel miserable by making rude remarks on his physic . For example , Hamblin called Jimmy a "useless butterball" when he failed to kick the ball towards Victor .(Page 7) Later on , Vicotr and friends did nasty actions towards Jimmy , like soaking his belongings in the shower .(Page 10) Jimmy's problem is further developed , where Jimmy has low self-esteem . This can be observed in Chapter 4 , when GL Joe asked a favour of Jimmy to help him in the fundraising event . Jimmy lacks confidence in how people regard him . I feel that Jimmy is a self-concious person . To conclude , most of Jimmy's problems are being developed because he lacks confidence in himself .

I personally think Jimmy's some problems have beening resolved, but some problems still be developed. For example,Jimmy always hide his talent (cook). At last, GI Joe knows that and let Jimmy to raise money through the cooking. Jimmy also knows the secret about his past along the way. Because Jimmy always is bullied by his friends.It cause him becomes lacks of confidence. And he is afraid to stand up for himself. His friends often mockes him because of his appearance.In the end of the novel,Jimmy are able to swim.He has become a person who has better confident in himself.
I think that some of jimmy's problem
are being resolved and some is being developed.Like for example Jimmy had manage to overcome his inability to swim. Not only that,he also manage to be a great swimmer as he won the swimathon.The problem that are being
developed are the fact that he still
have low self-esteem as he is afraid to expose his talent in cooking as he is afraid that someone
would make fun of it.
Some of the problems are resolved, and some are still developing. For instance, Jimmy's blazer that was suppose to last him for years was ruined. But GI Joe offered to help him have it dry-washed at his Aunt's laundry shop. Therefore, it solves his problem of the blazer. An example for a problem that is developing, Jimmy is always bullied by Victor and friends. He doesnt retaliate because he does not have enough confidence in him to do it and therefore, Victor and friends continues to bully him and call him names. And he also does not want to let known to everybody that he cooks because he's afraid of being mocked at and made fun of.

Evidence will be shown upon requested
Yes, some of his problems are being resolved. For examples;
1. Recurring swimmimg pool dreams.
- sometimes he dreamt that he drowned but eventually, he is gifted with the talent of swimming. Furthermore, it runs in his blood.
2. Finding out GI Joe is a priest.
- Jimmy was shocked that he was actually a priest. Because all this while GI Joe had been a Coach to him. And the way he said, " I'm gonna kick ass", seems to be rude and how possible he is a priest. But somehow, Jimmy is able to accept that he is a priest. (pg24)
But some of his problems are not being resolved. For examples;
1. Being Bulky and binges
- It is being developedas it cannot be help that he was naturally born to be far just like Frankie Fallon, his dad and fat people normally have big apetite to binge.

Most of the problems since the beginning of the novel has been resolved, while some of the problems are still being develop.Example of problems that are solve will be that in the beginning of novel , hs blazer got ruin , but GL joe helped him repair it. The mystery of his father was also solved.His size,was also solved, as in the beginning , we can see that he is fat , but after GL joe taught him swimming , he slim down.
Example of problem still developing will be that his mom and aunt pol still feel that jimmy could not be independent.
I feel that only some of Jimmy's problems which are rather minor are being solved while the major problems are still being developed.
The minor problems are his blazer which was soaked in the water by Victor and his team mates was being sent to the laundry with GI Joe's help. This act of GI Joe also resolved the problem of the fear that Jimmy had on GI Joe.The problems which are still being developed are the ones caused by Victor and his friends.The problems are Victor and his friends teasing and bullying Jimmy.

My impression is that some of his problems are being resloved but on the other hand some of his problems are still developing.An example was when his blazer was soaking wet,But GI Joe went to the cleaners to help Jimmy.In the end the problem was resolved but on the other hand the problem where he did not want to tell anyone about it is still developing.

I think that some of his problems are being solved while some just still being developed.
One of his problems being resolved is that when his blazer was wet. GI Joe helped him to clean it by sending it to the laundry for dry cleaning.
Another problems that are still being developed is that Jimmy is being mocked and called names by VIctor Swift, his teammate.
Most of his problems are being developed. Jimmy is always got bullied by Victor and his gang, and he did not have the guts to report it to the teachers. Whereas, a small portion of his problems are resolved. His blazer was brought to Aunt Pol laundry to wash and clean.

Only a few problems that Jimmy faced are being resolved. But on the other hand, there were also problems which continued to be developed. A problem which had been resolved is that his blazer got soaked and GI Joe brought it to the laundry and have it dry. Some of the problem which had not been solved is that he lacked of confident to show his talent (cooking) as he was afraid that he would be laughed at. He often got bullied by Victor and his friends, but he never told anyone about it.

Some of these problems are being resolved & while some of the problems are being developed . An example of a problem that is being resolved is that when Jimmy's blazer was ruined but GI Joe helped him to have it dry wash at Aunt Pol's laundry . And Jimmy's size was slim down when GI Joe taught him swimming . Example of problem still developing is when Jimmy gets bullied , he still dared not speak up . He is still un-confident of himself .

There are some problems which are being resolved & developed by the people around Jimmy. An example of the problem that is being resolved is when Jimmy's blazer was soaked by his soccer team mates after the soccer match. GI Joe offered to help him by sending the blazer to his Aun't laundry for dry-cleaning which one of Jimmy's problems is resolved. Another problem that is being developed is Jimmy's bullying problem. He was told by GI Joe to report about it which is mostly about his physical appearance. An example, Hamblin, his football coach called him a "Useless butterball" when he falied to kick & chase the ball. Jimmy was then teased & called him names like "FAT BOY FAT". This causes him to lose confidence & causing him to have low self-esteem. I feel that its not only him who has lost confidence in himself but to the others around him as they feel that they can't trust him. An example, his huge size & his fitness.
In conclusion, his problems are not just being resolved but also developed, not by his ownself but the people around him.

In my opinion jimmy's problems are developing and some are already solved as Jimmy still gets bully by Victor and he does not have the courage to defend for himself to prevent being bullied. And the recurring dreams of Jimmy swimming, Jimmy finally learnt how to swim and he is building up self-esteem to have the courage to learn how to swim. This shows some of the problems being resolved and some still developing.
Most of the problem are being developed but there are problem are being solved. For example, when Victor soaked his belongings which included the blazer, GI Joe offered Jimmy to have the blazer sent to the laundry for dry-cleaning. This had solved one of Jimmy problem.The example of the problem are being develop is Victor and his friends still keep bully Jimmy.

i think that some of the problems are being resolved like he does not fear GI Joe amymore.Some of the problems are still being developed like he still does not dare to let people knows that he likes to cook,as people will laugh at him.
Some problems that he had are resolved while some are not. When he's bullied or picked on, he is told to ignore them so he won't feel sad or angry. Jimmy started to learn swimming and it will help him to get fit and be slimmer. When his blazer was ruined, GI Joe helped him to get it dry cleaned. But some matters that are not resolved is that he is still bullied by others. This will cause him to have low self-esteem and he doesn't dare to report it to the teacher if he's bullied. This will make the guys want to bully him more.

The problems we stated weren't resolved however there were other problems that were resolved like Gi Joe helped Jimmy in swimming.
Jimmy was not at all good in swimming.With the help of Gi Joe, he improved in swimming. From this he lost weight and his diet improved.He became more healthier. After all the swimmings,the problem which was resolved was the fact that he was fat.Another change in Jimmy was that he has became less afraid of Victor as stated on pg 118. This has made Jimmy more aware of his own inner ability which enables him to go against Victor.
These are some of the problems resolved.
