Chapter 17 1.Why do people the people of the east end call Maniac a fishbelly and write that on his home? The people of The east end call Maniac call him a fish belly because of his skin color.

Chapter 20 1. Why did the newpaper describe the knot as a hairball? The newpaper described it as a hairball because when Maniac was untieing it it looked all frizzy.

Acrostic Poem 1/19 Maniac had to take a shower because he has been in the buffalo pen for a few days and has been sleeping with them.Plus he has old clothes that probably haven't been washed for a very long time. Maniac does not want to sleep in Graysons home because he think that parkhand is comfortable and that he would sleep on the chest protectors.Also Maniac said that he almost dozed off thinking of sleepong on the chest protectors. Grayson is shocked because he probably thinks that all black people are poor and do not have the same things that they do.Also because he has never seen a white kid live with a black family. The stopball is a special throw that Graysons throw and is kinda like his specialty. He throws thw ball up into yhe air then it comes to you and it just stop on its own. Grayson said this because he did not know how to read thats why he was struggling at the library with the problem that Maniac had asked him.Also because he gave up on school after he was about to be picked by a scout but lost a game 12-0.

The teacher said that because all day all they did was they would cut paper and play games all day. Also his parents were always drunk and they could never really get to teach him anything.
