Chapter Twelve
Why do you think Sam seems resentful or angry every time Billy says something smart, like when Billy asked Pa about digging into the hill, on page 82?
I think Sam is jealous because he calls Billy Mr. Know-It-All and Billy says I am not.
ReplyDeleteI think it is because Sam is angry that he doesn't think of those ideas when the opportunity comes.
ReplyDeleteI think it is because Sam is jealous of Billy. Sam thinks Billy is Mr.Know-It-All because Billy thinks of different things that Sam dose not think of.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of you, but why do you suppose Sam is jealous of Billy?
ReplyDeleteI think Sam feels that Billy is smarter than Billy or when Billy says something smart Sam is jealous and he wishes that he said what ever Billy said.
