Question

I dont really get it

Answer 1

What don't you "get"? The boys relationships with the adults they interact with are not the same. How do they differ? How does each interact with the significant adult? How do the adults regard the boys? Use examples from the stories to support your ideas. You do have to read the stories to answer the assignment, and you have to think about it.

Answer 4

In "A Day's Wait", the boy interacts with the father in a concerned way. The boy is concerned about his father's health when he says, "You can't come in, you mustn't get what I have." The father walks in noticing that the boy hasn't moved an inch. He took his temperature and the boy worries it. The father doesn't think the boy's condition is serious. The boy says in school at France, the boys told me you can't live with forty-four degrees. In Barrio Boy, Ernesto interacts with Miss Ryan in an uncomfortable way. He is afraid of Miss Ryan because he barely knows any English and finds her intimidating.
