1) yes i do agree because she needed to here it from a student.
ReplyDelete2) the reason why is because she wants to think Chris is better than that. Mrs. creed said that Chris is so much better because she raised him that way.
3) well good reasons is he wont get in trouble for hitting bo. bad reason he might seem like a coward.
4) yes i did believe it was Chris's body because of the title of the book. it was scary because i didn't think a body could burn like that.
