__**Chapter 17**__ 1. Why did that old man want Jeffery to leave the East End of Two Mills? 2. Why do you think that he was being mean to Jeffery?

1. The man wanted Jeffery to leave East End because he was a "Whitey". 2. The man was mean to Jeffery because the white people were probably mean to him when he was a kid. 1. Why was Amanda bombarding Jeffery a lot of questions? 2. Why do you think Jeffery did not want to stay at the Beale's house after the strange old man talked to him?
 * __Chapter 18__**

1.Amanda was asking Jeffery all of these questions to intimidate him. Amanda wanted him to stay, so she tried to make him feel bad and want to stay with the Beales. 2. Jeffery did not want to stay so he would not cause anymore trouble for the Beales. When the old man came and wrote on their house, this worried Jeffery enough to make him want to leave.

 * __Chapter 19__**

1. Amanda wanted Jeffery to untie Cobble's Knot because she thought that it would make Jeffery locally famous (although he already was) and change the minds of the people who don't like Jeffery. 2. I think the old man will still feel the same about Jeffery. Just because you do something that will give you fame, doesn't mean that people will like you for what you did.

 * __Chapter 20__**

1. Why didn't Grayson make Jeffery leave the zoo? 2. How do you think Grayson felt when he heard that Jeffery had lived in the East End with the Blacks?
 * __Chapter 23__**

1. Grayson didn't make Jeffery leave the zoo because he felt bad for him. When Grayson found Jeffery he was wearing dirty rags. 2. I think Grayson was flabbergasted when he heard where Jeffery was living. He had never heard of any white kid living in the East End of Two Mills.

1. Why did Jeffery want to spend the night at the band shell instead of Grayson's room in the YMCA? 2. Why did Grayson ask all of those questions about the Blacks that Jeffery stayed with?
 * __Chapter 24__**

__**Chapter 27**__ 1. Why do you think that when Grayson was a kid he was in a classs where they only played games and had fun? 2. How do you htink Maniac was so excited that Grayson could read?

1. Grayson was put in this class because of how his parents were. They were always drinking and never homs so Grayson didn't know much when he went to school. 2. Maniac was so excited because this was a big acomplishment for Grayson. While Maniac was teaching grayson how to read, he took up the role of a leader.

__**Chapter 28**__ 1. Why did Maniac say "Amen" when Grayson finished the book? 2. Why does Maniac prefer to sleep on the chest protectors than on the mat that Grayson got him?

1. He said "Amen" whe Grayson finished the book to praise him in what he did. He was praying that Grayson could finish another book at the same time. 2. Maniac prefered to sleep on the chest protectors because they are hard. The way that Maniac likes to sleep on the floor, it is just like that.

1. Grayson gave Jeffery his old glove because of how Jeffery looked up to him. Grayson was the best role model Jeffery ever had. 2. Jeffery made grayson a book because he didnt have much to give Grayson for Christmas. Since Grayson could now read, Jeffery gave him something to remember him by.

__**Chapter 32**__ 1. Why do you think Jeffery didn't tell some one that Grayson had died right away? 2. Why didn't the preist show up at Grayson's funeral?

1. Jeffery didn't tell anyone about Grayson's death because he wanted to spend as much time with Grayson as he could. 2. The priest didn't show up at Grayson's funeral because it was so small and almost had no one there. Jeffery was the only morurner.

__**Russel**__ Russel is an eight year old boy who is always on an adventure. Every week or so he is headed off on an adventure to Mexico with his brother. He and his brother Piper are inseperable. He is always calling people funny names. He called Jeffery "meatball" when hey first met. A word I would use to describe Russel is Adventerous. He is also quite gullible

__**Piper**__ Piper is slightly younger that Russel. He is the blabbermouth of the pair. Piper told Jeffery where he and Russel were going and what they had done. Piper is gullible like his brother Russel. I would use the word daring to describe Piper. I would use this to describe him because he is always on his way to Mexico with his brother Russel.
