1. Describe the relationship between Jerry & his father
Their relationship is not what it should be and they should eb close becuase they just lost a big figure in their lives DGKALLDAY Jerry's father has been very distant with him ever since his mother died. Even though his father is a kind old man, there seems to be a wall between them. - SweetestGirl Jerry should be very close to his father but they are not. but i think that jerry and his father should get closer to gether because being close to your father is a very big thing in both their lives. P.G. Tips.

Jerry does not have the best relationship with his father, they do not communicate the way a parent and his/her son should be communicating. Crazydaog

the realtionship between the father and Jerry isnt very close. They dont communicate the way they should be with eachother goober67

JERRY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DAD IS BAD. THEY ARE NOT CLOSE AT ALL ESPECIALLY AFTER JERRY'S MOTHER DIED. JERRY BASICALLY HAS NO ONE THAT CARES MUCH FOR HIM. TMONEY

They aren't a very close father and son...nimrodRPB

Their relationship is not very close and they don't feel like family. cernal sanders

Mp913- Jerry always felt abandoned by his father because he was never around for him even after his mother died. And now they are even farther apart. At dinner time they don’t really talk and they cant seem to have a conversation except for when jerry ask “how was you day” and he replies “good”.

The relationship between jerry and his father is not a strong relationship. The relationship is very non-emotional and they hardly spend anytime together. Chinese dumpling

The relationship between Jerry and his father is a very disconnected and not emotional. They don't talk much and don't spend any time together either. S.P.E.

The relationship between Jerry and his father isn’t strong at all. The relationship between each other isn’t emotional. Also, Jerry and his father do not spend that much time together. By Cookiesandmilk

Jerry isn’t close with his father. Jerry seems disappointed in his father because he could tell that he wanted to be a doctor but he is a pharmacist and Jerry thinks his life is so boring and square. - reese

Jerry doesn't have a very close relationship towards his father. They dont have a bad relationship, but its not really that connected or close o_O

2. What kind of advice would you give to Jerry - be specific.
My advice to Jerry would be to stop being immature and start speaking to his father, to be closer with him. Since he is not close with his dad he has nothing to hold on to and no one to be loved by. Crazydaog I would advise him to talk to his father and find ways to express the feelings that is positive and helps him cope with his mothers death. - SweetestGirl The advice i would give Jerry would be to start trying to talk to his father about school, football, friends,etc. It doesnt matter if he doesn't listen just try to get a closer feeling to him and feel like you can trust and talk to eachoter. \ goober67

I would say to Jerry: "tell your dad to become more open to you" or "Wait a while, your dad is going through a hard time. He will hopefully defrost eventually"...nimrodRPB

I would say to jerry:" you should get closer to yoour father. come on he is ont of the biggest aspects of your life." P.G. Tips

My advice would be to enoy life and not be depressed about his family.cernal sanders

MY ADVISE TO HIM WOULD BE GO TO A GAME OR TO GO TO THE MOVIES SO THAT WE WOULD BE CLOSE FRIENDS AND HE WOULD FEEL THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARES FOR HIM. TMONEY Live life the way you want and dont look backDGKALLDAY Mp913- My advice for Jerry would be to ask him to go somewhere with him like a football game so you get closer because you don’t want to grow up and have no family to support you.

The advice I would give to Jerry is to try really hard in school to get good grades and also to play football really hard, this advice would help because it would get his mind off of his mom and the bad relationship with his father. Chinese dumpling

I would tell Jerry to try to get on the football team because it would make him feel part of something like he said in chapter nine. I would also advise for him to try hard in school. I would advise him to do so, so that he could take his mind off of his dead mother. S.P.E.

I was say that his main problem would be moving foward and that he is afriad to move on to the future, and hes afraid of change. o_O

I would say that he should let go of the past and keep moving forward in his life. By Cookiesandmilk

The advice I would give Jerry is to make some friends and get away from his father. - reese

3. In what way have we seen good & evil in these chapters. Give 2 examples.
In Goober we see good when he shows that he feels bad breaking the school chairs, but he shows evil because he is doing it anyway...nimrodRRRRPPPPBBBB We see good when Jerry tries to interact with his father. But we see evil when Goober unscrews the chairs against his better judgement. - SweetestGirl

An example of good and evil in this chapter is when Goober stopped unscrewing the chirs in Brother Eugeans Room. The evil part is that he agreed to unscrew the chirs in Brother Eugeans room. P. G. tips.

we see evil when the assighnment is to unscrew the chairs and the kid does it and we see good when the kid knows its wrong and doesnt want to do it. cernal sanders An example of good would be when JErry makes an effort to get close to h9is dad and talk and his dad ignores him. AN example of bad is the fact that Jerry is part of a bad goupDGKALLDAy

Goober is showing some goodness because he was not happy to be pulling the prank on the school. He thought that unscrewing all the chairs of the class was a bad thing to do. We saw evil when the vigils came up with the idea of unscrewing the chairs to the classroom. Crazydaog

the evil in these chapters would be when the Vigils assignh Goober to unscrew all the desks in the classroom and then the good in this chapter would be that Gooober knew he was doing something wrong and that he was very nervous goober67

ONE EXAMPLE THAT WE SEE GOOD IN JERRY AND BAD IN HIS FATHER IS WHEN JERRY TRIES TO GET HIS DAD'S ATTENTION SOMETIMES WHEN HE COMES HOME FROM SCHOOL AND MOST OF THE TIMES HIS FATHER EGNORES HIM. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS THE EVIL FACT THAT JERRY IS PART OF THE VIGILS. TMONEY

Mp913- one example of good and evil are when Jerry is trying to relate to his father and he ignores him. Jerry in this situation is good while his father is evil. Anther example would be that the Vigils are forcing the Goober to do the assignment but they come in to help him. The Vigils are both good and evil because they’re making Goober do this assignment which he struggle with but they come in the classroom to help him,

There are a lot of really good things and really bad things that happen in this chapter. One of the good thing that happens in this chapter is how Jerry is trying to talk to his dad some more. A bad thing that happens in this chapter is how the vigils are making Goober do something bad when he is a good kid. Chinese dumpling

We have seen both good and evil in these chapters. We see good when Goober is doing the assignment but feels guilt and horrible that he is doing so. We see a little bit of evil when Archie and the rest of the Vigils come into the room not to help with the assignment, but to just get it done right for themselves on pg 55. We see even more evil when Archie threatens Goober on pg 55 by saying " You tell anybody about this and your'e through at Trinity. Got that?" S.P.E.

We have seen good and evil when Jerry tries to communicate more with his father. The evil part is that his father is not trying to communicate or spend more time with Jerry. The good part is that Jerry is trying to communicate more with his father and spend more time. Another good and evil is when the Vigils assign Goober to do the assignment. The evil part is that the Vigils are making him do the assignment and the good part is that some kids come to help him do the assignment. By Cookiesandmilk

A good example in which good is prtrays would b in chapter 8. This was when Gobber has second thoughts about what he was is morally incorect, and he stopped for a brief moment to think about it. o_O

One way we have seen good in chapter 9 is when Mrs. Hunter made Jerry and his father food. Another good example in ch 8 is when Goober stops breaking the chairs because he felt guilty but and example of evil in the same part is when the other kids come and help cause they know the goober cant do it. - reese

Find two examples of poetic devices in chapter 8 and 9 -- example- similes, metaphors, imagery, symbols, personificatin, etc... be sure to identify what the quote is and what the "device" is.
I saw Goober symbolyzing the helpers for the chair job as reliefe and Goober runnu=ing as his freedom...nimrodRPB In the beginning of chapter 9 '...it was like a bomb which described how Brother Eugenes room was like when the chairs were falling apart. - SweetestGirl

the poetic devices in the book that I found was when they described how jerry was running and how graceful it was. cernal sanders

TWO POETIC DEVICES THAT I FOUND IN THE BOOK WERE "HIS LONG ARMS AND LEGS MOVED FLAWINGLY AND FLAWLESLY, HIS BODY FLOATING AS IF HIS FEET WEREN'T TOUCHING THE GROUND" AND " HE POURED HIMSELF LIQUID THROUGH THE SUNRISE STREETS."

Something i found in this chapter would be the way the book describes how they said that 'his body floating as if his feet weren't touching the ground' and also "his long arms and legs moved flawingly and flawlessly." It was a poetic part of the book. Goober67

Mp913- Two poetic devices I found in chapter 8 and 9 are “his body floating as if as if his feet weren’t touching the ground”(51), “poured himself liquid through the sunrise streets”(51)

“His body was floating”(51) this is a metaphor. “His mother was there on his fathers face” (59)imagery Chinese dumpling

The poetic devices that I found were these: pg 54: A figure was advancing towards him on all fours, like an animal. Imagery Pg 54: The walls spoke their own creaky language. Personifacation.This is a personafacation. S.P.E.

Two examples of poetic devices in chapter 8 and 9 that i found are. "floating as if his feet weren’t touching the ground”(51) The walls spoke their own creaky languages. P. 54 Crazydaog

The poetic devices in these two chapters that i found interesting and unique were; "His mother showed up on his father's face", and "His father was a stranger during that day".

“The walls spoke their own creaky language,” (pg.54) this is a form of personification. “His body was floating as if his feet weren’t touching the ground.” (pg.51) This is imagery. By Cookiesandmilk

Ch 8 - simile - “ The terror was different from any other kind he’d ever known: the terror of a walking nightmare. Like waking up from a bad dream in which a monster was gaining on you ” (52) goober was scared about unscrewing the chairs. Ch 9 - metaphor - “ His father was a stranger during those days, like a sleepwalker going through the motions, like a puppet being maneuvered by invisible strings. - reese
