I know this because he’s been running all around the town talking to people and chatting. Not seeming to stop and always is ready to do something when he’s not doing anything.

Maniac thinks that everybody likes him, but in reality, Mars Bars, McNab, and the Cobras all have animosity with him. He thinks that he’s likable, which he is, but he doesn’t realize that when he shows someone up, the person feels bad about, and when you show someone up several times it feels like rubbing salt in a wound.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this because in the Beales family while living with them Maniac acted very fun and loving. And when people started chasing him he never actual wanted to fight them he always ran. And in the text it said “Maniac loved everything” showing that he is loving and kind.

I think it takes place during the civil rights period. The east end seems to be the black part of the city while the west end is the white side. This shows there is discrimination as the east end seems underdeveloped hence why I believe it takes place during the civil rights period

Jefferey seems to have a hard time getting along with people. He fights Mars Bar and McNab. Both of them are angry for being humiliated by Jefferey in front of people.

Jefferys relationship with Amanda is very well and sturdy because Amanda is not only a friend but also defends Jeffery like when Mars Bars backed Jeffery down into a wall and In the text it says that Amanda likes to talk to her mom about good things like how Jeffery really like books meaning her relationship is good with him because she knows a lot about him.

I wonder if later in the story if he will run away

“Maniac Magee is blind” Meaning he can see everything around him that is physically there. But he doesn’t understand that many people dislike and thinks that everyone likes him. This connects to Andrew’s Trait Statement.

Several Locals From The East Hates Maniac Magee

# data[].attributes.body
Some people in the East hate Maniac Magee because he is a white person living in the black side of town. They are angry because they feel like the whites forced them to live in the East, so when a white also starts living in the East, they feels like they gave the whites a inch but the whites took a mile.

I am not exactly sure what the books mean, but I do think that the books signify something. I personally think that it represents Maniac’s curiosity and his will to learn new things.

Grayson seems to be a kind person, because when he found Maniac in the Buffalo inclosure he got him out. Also, he gave Maniac new clothes and let him take a shower. However, their relationship seems fragile because Maniac threatened to run away if he had to go to school, plus, their relationship is new so I don’t know if it is a good relationship or even if Grayson will be mentioned a few times in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Grayson asks Maniac about the Beales, and he seems surprised when Maniac tells him about that black households had the same cop on things as white households. He also says, “Is theirs the same? As ours?” Almost as if he is taking like blacks are inferior or something compared to whites. He also asks, “You didn’t drink out of the same glass.” Like if that was a bad thing. Knowing this, I am starting to think Grayson is racist.

Maniac and Grayson now seem to be getting along just fine. Grayson is kind to Maniac and buys Maniac things like a toaster and a fridge. He also lets him sleep in the band shell room. Later, Maniac returns the favor and lets Grayson live in the “101 Bandshell Boulevard” . I think that Grayson and Maniac have a very steady relationship. Also Maniac teaches Grayson how to read.

When Grayson dies Maniac goes into a mourning from remembering his hugs and misses the times of feeling cared about and safe. This is a struggle because Maniac Magee almost tries to freeze and starve to death. But soon he meets a couple of kids which only stop him temporarily but Maniac is still struggling.

I think that Maniac is now not going to really have a relation with anyone else because he is to emotionally scarred. He has already ran away two families that liked him, the Beales and Grayson, who was like a family of his own.
