Steven might be keeping his dreams from his parents because he does not want to give them nightmares, and to get scared. And in some ways Stevens dream can be emotional because he knows Jeffery has a disease and doesn't want anything else to go wrong with him.

6. Steven might trust mrs Gally because she has a great personality that you can trust. She will really let you talk and will just let you take all your emotions out. But I guess that is why she is a guidence conciler. She is a big part in the fact of helping Steven cope.
This is stated many times in the text.

9. In the story on page 185 it states "I figuered out how to save money and Annette fell down a flight of stairs. This is hinting that annette got hurt and Steven found a solution to money saving. I thik next Steven is going to help Annette because she has broken arm with school to pay back for her tutoring him the week before

Steven hints that he finally found a way to make money to help his parents with their hospital bill. I think that Steven will help his family and they won't go into deep poverty, Jeffrey won;t die from not having paid hos[ital bills to help him live, and they hopefully will have some extra money left over.

I think Steven was being a little harsh with his father, but I know that he was under a lot of stress. Steven could have toned his voice down a little, because his dad was already depressed.

His dream was about Jeffrey sinking away into the ground. Every time he threw a snowball at Jeffrey, he would slowly sink into the ground. Then his parents said that he was his only son. The dream means that Jeffrey is slowly dieing, and that He will soon be the only son. He doesn't want that to happen because he loves his little brother.  The black spots that he got on his body were the bruise from the snowball hitting him. It was the needles giving him bruises and he slowly went away. This dream represents him dieing, and the hospital.

2. Stevens popularity grow. It grow because he kicked the hottest girl in the 8th grade out of his house. This is proven on page 162 were it states "on a Brighter note my tradgety brough me more popularity at school." Hopfully his popularity at school will help hi  cope better.

3. I think Steven should have called his Mom. I would have called my mom if I was in Stevens situation I would have called my Mom. I would have done this because if my mom did not hear from me she would have. I would not want to put more stress on her on top of the Cancer situation. Also I woulndnt want my dad to come home and have to lose money for me. I know this because in the book on page 167 it states " she hade me padged out of a buissness meeting and I came charging home." This shows that Mom was worried so much taht she made dad go home right away so he could  check to make shure Steven was ok. This coast them $200. Precisous money they need.

"What is the chapter fear, gum, candy mostly about?"
_____________________________________ In the beginning Steven has a dream that he is having a catch with Jeffery and every time Jeffery catches the ball a part of him turns black. And he starts to sink into the ground and says that Steven is the only child now. His parents started to act like it was normal because he did this all the time, and whenever they asked what the dream was, he had forgotten. Steven's parents urged him to tell Mrs. Galley about it but he never did. Steven offers Renee a piece of gum, Steven and Renee Apologize about what each of them did. Annette gets kind of jealous because you can kind of tell that Annette likes Steven. Steven goes to talk to Mrs. Galley and he tells here about how he kept having nightmares about Jeffery. She was listening the whole time and even turned off her phone and had to tell about several kids to scram away from her door. after the talk with her, she promised Steven that she would call back.

"What is pointless and boy perfume mostly about?
_____________________________________ The main events in the chapter pointless and boy perfume is that Annette is coming over to Steven's house to help him study for every other subject besides math, so... Renee Albert is coming over to Steven's house to tutor him in math because Annette's piano class is during Steven's math class. Steven's reaction to Renee Albert volunteering to help tutor him made him ecstatic. After the smooth tutoring from Annette he gets all dressed up for Renee and finally when the time comes, Renee shows up at the door sick and Steven does not let her in because of Jeffery's low white blood cell count. Renee gets mad and says all these things about Steven, but he doesn't regret doing it because he saved his little brother from getting really sick.
_____________________________________ "What may have motivated Renee to tutor Steven in math class?"

Renee was probably motivated to volunteer to tutor Steven because maybe because she liked Steven too because she was the one who ratted him out about Jeffery's cancer because she was worried about him.

Having a true friend means that person will always have your back, they will be there when you need them, and they will always laugh at you jokes. Having a true friend could mean anything, about that person or just what it is in general. Steven does have true friends in his life even if they do fight with one another. Steven's true friend is his brother Jeffrey. Jeffrey is Steven's true friend because when Jeffrey gets home form the hospital, Jeffrey is always happy to see Steven. Steven is always thinking about Jeffrey and even concerned and worried about him. Annette is another of Steven's true friend

3.  Stevens new sztradegy to cope is to not care and act like nothing really matters. He finds no point to anything. This is proven in chapter 11 on page 150 it states "I went up stairs to get ready for bed, and a new obsessive slogan came in my head. It worked like this. Ok, ill brush my teeth now but Jeffrey mite die so whatsts the point." This really shows Steven triing to cope but I dont thing it is the best way to cope.

Page 185: I was starting to wonder whether I was going to be a nervous wreck for years and years, finally losing it completely or waking up in a mental ward with a tight, white sleeveless coat on."
What the author really meant was that Steven hoped he didn't have this nightmare forever, and that he was going to go crazy if he didn't stop having this dream."

Steven is realizing that Renee know knows who he is. What i am starting to think is she has a little crush on him, this is because she is showing more interest in him. When Renee had to leave his house she got upset which is showing something. Steven is also catching feelings toward Annette. he is now between two of the most beautiful girls Renee and Annette .

The author constructs his paragraphs by starting with a conflict, and ending with a solution. The evidence for this is that for example this paragraph started with no family time, and no money, and now the family got together, and Jeffery hints that he "Found a way to make money."

# data[].attributes.body
The is a stack of medical bills on the counter, and his dad did a tally of all the medicals bills. The cost was going to be $27,000 total. It's not worse because their family has insurance, and so the insurance is mostly paying off the medical bills. If they didn't have insurance, the medical bills would cost hundreds and thousands of dollars. They would have ended up in poverty, and they would not have enough money for a college education. The cost makes me feel very shocked because they already are struggling with money, and now they ave to pay off thousands of dollars to help with Jeffrey's health. I am very shocked because I never knew how badly it is to stay in a hospital because of the prices.

# data[].attributes.body
What I think the author was trying to foreshadow was that something good was going to happen. Something bad is going to happen because at the end of the chapter, he takes his councolers advice and finds things he can change. "Then, two things happened in quick succession. I figured out how to save money.

"When my dad looked up, he looked like my Pre-October dad.
What the author really meant was that Stevens dad didn't look as sad, and he looked like how he looked before Jeffery's diagnoses.

# data[].attributes.body
The author might have that title of the chapter because he kind of catches himself on whats happening. It could mean the "Lining" of what's in the chapter. The title of the chapter highlights the things that he lists at the beginning of the chapter. Like how he fails the math test that he is going to take, because he couldn't let his sick tutor into his house because of Jeffrey. How his parents are always in the hospital and working for long periods of time leaving him home alone. His dad wants to talk it out because Steven's mom made his dad go home to check on Steven since he never called his mom back.

# data[].attributes.body
In the ending of chapter 12, the author is trying to build suspense. He is showing this by foreshadowing that even though they had a great day as a family today, they can't get distracted by the one good day, because there are more bad days to come. "But just because you get distracted by a silver-lining for a little bit, doesn't mean there is still not a huge dark cloud behind it."

# data[].attributes.body
This sentence is trying to convey that it hurts Steven to see his brother in such pain, and no young child should suffer the way that Jeffery is. "I felt so bad for him, that I read him two chapters of his favorite book."

Page 148: "I crept back into the basement like a highly skilled sneak thief." The author is trying to say that Steven went into the basement quietly and sneakily.

Jeffery coped by using Matt Medic. Steven brought him his toy from home, that made him feel safe and better about the whole situation. Steven was pretending to voice him, and saying stuff like, "Don't worry, you'll be home and better in no time!" That is how Jeffery and Steven coped in the hospital.

1. In starving in siberia steven get a fever and haset to be sent away to his grandparents house because Jeffrey with his illness cant be around jerms. When at his grandparent sit is boring and Steven cant eat meat or any othor real foods. Steven also gets a gift from jeffrey . The medic ation figure toy. Eveantally steven gets better and goes back home but later that night he sees his dad. His dad has a big stack of papers in front of him and he was crying.

2. I think it is understandable why Steven dosent play with Jeffry all the time. I think this because Steven has alote of homework to do and cant play all the time. Not only that but steven is much older and what might be fun for Jeffrey to do ijn his free time may not be what Steven wants to do. I thing it is nice of steven  to play with Jeffry at all. So very understanable.

3. I think this is the Falling action of the story because we are going down from the climax whitch is when jeffry gets cancer. Also we constetly get points that get us closer to the story ending with each report of the climax. Whitch the climax is laso the central point that the book revolves its story line around

Stevens main conflict is that he didn't want people to find out about Jeffy's cancer, but everyone knows. He didn't want people to know because he thought people would feel sorry for him. Other problems that he faces is that he is really getting behind on all of his school work. He stopped doing homework, and that's when people and teachers started to notice his conflict.

School may change for Steven now that the students and teachers know that Jeffy has cancer. One way that it may change is that many people may show remorce towards Steven. Also, they may be a lot nicer to Steven and he might even make new friends.

"Why do these people basically beat the truth out of you?' That is what Steven was thinking while he was in a room full of teachers asking him what was his deal lately. Steven really didn't want to tell them that Jeffery had cancer, but they basically forced him to, by interogating him.

"By the end of the first week, I was scrounging at the bottom of the barrel for deals to make." pg. 82, paragraph 2

This is a  hyperbole.
This means that Jeffrey was desperate for deals to make. He would want to make himself do something that would help him think that Jeffrey was going to be better. He really wanted God to hear Steven , so God can make Jeffrey better.
