• "He took my mother's elbow and led her across the park towards the house"- This situations seems kind of awkward because normally when you bring someone to your house you don't grab them by the elbow.
• When Jake and Judd went into the kitchen Judd was suppose to give jack a hamburger but instead he give he bread and baloney, which makes me think that the two men are dangerous and they were just trying to lour jack and his mom into there house.
• I feel like Rosemary is the kind of person WHO doesn't always think things all the way through and is easily manipulated because the salesman was able to convince her to buy a old hovel of a house way to easy.
• i think Jack tries to get into trouble because he wants attention and becuase it is the only other way to feel like he is a man.
• how is it that his mother can not tell that he is lieing to her, it is very obviouse.

• In this section of the book i think that Rosemary, Jakes mom, was abused by the man, Gil, who was before acting very nice towards her and trating her like she was a queen. After this the story goes on to Rosemary buying a house which is not in good conditions, and her living mates arn't to happy with the decision she had made. But they move in anyways, Later on in the section Jake Starts getting in to bad company and he dose some things he knowns he should not do.
