Paper Boy Questions

This week for my reading I had to answer questions about the novel I am reading. The book is called Paper Boy it is a very interesting book. Here are the questions.

1. What is the conflict between Ara T and Little Man? How will it be resolved?

Ara T has little man's knife and won't give it back until little man calls it by its proper name, which he can't because of his stutter so he was planning to take it back in secrecy.

2. Why do you think Little Man likes Mr Spiro so much?

Because Mr Spiro talks in a kind and cool way and little man likes talking with Mr Spiro. He also understands how little man talks and how he feels.

Research what a speech pathologist does. Explain what their job is and how they help people.

They help people that have a lisp or stutter. They are like an english but help them learn to say words without a lisp or stutter.

3. Who is Mam? Mam is like little mans teacher at home, because she helps him with his stutter and teaches him ways to get around it What is her role in the family? Her role is to look after little man if his parents arent home and to help with cooking, cleaning and things like that

4. What do you notice about the way that dialogue is written within Paperboy? I have noticed that most the time its in 1st person with little man and that it doesn't go to anyone else's brain or into first person with them.
   * Dialogue is when characters are speaking to each other

5. Pick one character from your organiser that you have been working on. Explain them in full, giving as much detail as we know about them from Chapters 1-6. Little man : so far in the book what I know about little man is that he is a young boy with a stutter and a very fast throw. He is also a very curious boy because he went through his mother and fathers draws trying to find something which he did. He is also very friendly and always wants to know more about the world.
