2. Drawers(Larry Dunn asked if Cody and Rufus wore the same drawers on the same day they wore the jeans they shared)

Ch. 4

1. There is a movie mentioned in this chapter that you might not know about.  Researching and learning a little bit more about the movie, might help you to better understand the book. 

The movie mentioned is The Miracle Worker (When Bryon says Larry Dunn is deaf so he has to talk to him like the women from the movie).  Please click on the link and watch the movie trailer.  You can do this by clicking View Clip on the left side.  Also, click on Overview to read what the movie is about.  Keep in mind that there are two versions of this movie.  There is the original movie created in 1962(Only a year before the setting of the book) and there is a re-make created in 2000.  The link only shows the original movie trailer.  Here is the link:   http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/32810/The-Miracle-Worker/trailers

2. This chapter also mentions someone named Sugar Ray Robinson (Kenny mentions Sugar Ray when Byron punches his stomach).  For those of you who don't know who that is and are interested in knowing, click this link: http://www.cmgww.com/sports/robinson/about/bio.html


Here is the question for today:

Why do you think Byron goes between picking on Kenny and between saving him in other situations?
