Questions for Chapter 3


1. 'Walter looked as if he had been raised on fish food: his eyes, as blue as Dill Harris's, were red- rimmed and watery. There was no colour in his face except at the tip of his nose, which was moistly pink. He fingered the straps of his overalls, nervously picking at the metal hooks.' What is this passage trying to tell us ?


Answer :
He was about to cry as his eyes were red and watery. I think that he was being bullied as he was feeling nervous. We know that Walter is a timid person.


2. Do you think it is right for Walter to stay out to help his father and as a result he cannot pass his first grade?


Answer:
I think that studies should come first. Walter can still help his father out during the holidays. Parents tend to hope that children can focus on their studies first than to helping them out. But however, Walter's father asked Walter to help him out instead of asking him to focus on his studies. This shows that the Cunningham think that studies are not very important.

3. Why did Miss Caroline want Burris to go home?

Answer:
He had cooties and Miss Caroline wanted him to go home to wash his hair with lye soap and treat his scalp with kerosene so that he won't spread it to other children.
