i think that rob and his dad are getting alone more

# data[].attributes.body
I think that

# data[].attributes.body
My theory is that Robs Father wants to build a better relationship with his son and care deeply about him but doesn't know how to show it. I know this because he sacrificed food and not eating. He also wants to spend some time with his son because he realizes that life is short and you have to make the most of it. I think he slapped Rob at the funeral because he did not know how to handle it because his mom usually handles it

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Robs father really cares about him even though he really doesn't say that he wants him to get the right food or stay home from school but you can tell that he cares, I also think that somehow his dad knows what is happening in school so maybe he that's why he is letting him stay home from school.

# data[].attributes.body
My theory is that Rob's dad is starting to care about Rob more than he did before. I say this because he knows the rash is not contagious but he still lets him stay homne fgor school. Also Rob's dad said you have to fight back so he cares about if Rob get bullied. He gave his food to give Rob his food but he was starving.

My theory is, that Rob's dad is showing his feelings more. I think this because, instead of making Rob go to the doctor or back to school, he said he is going to wait a few days.

my theory is that rob and his dad will have a better relationship then they had before.his dad will start expressing his feelings and start showing rob some love.

I think Rob's dad had a really strict and strong dad who was kind of mean to him and Rob's dad is just mirroring what he learned because being strict and manly is all he really knows how to act towards a child.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems like Rob is slightly comfortable around his dad. He isn't too comfortable around him, but he at least is a little. He had a conversation which shows a little bit of comfort. He isn't 100% comfortable around his dad. He asks him if he can have coffee (comfortable) but, he says it shyly. (uncomfortable)

# data[].attributes.body
I think Robs Dad is going to teach him how to stand up for him self and how to fight so that he doesn't get bullied.

# data[].attributes.body
i think his dad is opening up more , even though he is strict there is still a nice guy, i also think that the reason why the dad said rob can stay home is that he just wants to spend some time with him. and also he rob needed a break . one prediction i have is that when the  dad said he wasn't hungry when he was, i think he just wants rob to be happy .

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Dad feels more at home with his son now because he is talking to his son like a man more now and his Dad may have been a little frantic at the funeral because his wife has just died after having her and Rob both for a long time and then he just didn't know what to do at the funeral when Rob was crying so when Rob started crying his Dad got terrified and everything going on in his life may have been stressful and closed in on him all at once and he slapped Rob, like when you don't know what to do and everything is stressful and then you freak out without being able to control what you doing.

We think that robs dad has opened up to Rob by having conversations with rob he is using empathy to understand his son and what is he going through. There relationship is opening up. Our theory about Rob is he is feeling more comfortable around his dad and not worried. For example his dad isn't being strict.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dad did not mean to slap Rob at the funeral. He feels guilty about it so now I think that the dad is making it up to Rob by giving him all the mac and cheese letting him stay home from school a few days and let him have coffee since he is a "working man" now. We were wrong when we said that the dad was a really mean dad. And I think the dad is also like the words of the wiser when he says you need to fight back. I think that Rob is going to open up more to his dad and he is going to rely on him more than he did before.

Rob and his father are starting to interact and have a small seed connection that is hopefully going to sprout to a big connection. For example, in the text it states that Rob's father gave up his mac and cheese, and he is letting Rob stay home from school even though he knows Rob's rash is not contagious. Rob also wanted to drink coffee before work with his dad, and his dad let him. This all shows that Rob's dad is starting to engage and have a small seed connection that is getting watered, but not quite ready for the sprout.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Rob's dad is actually deciding to spend time with Rob. For example, when Rob and his father went to Rob's mothers funeral Robs dad slapped him. In my opinion I think Rob's dad slapped him because His father was just trying to tell Rob everything will be okay, but did not know how to physically say it. Now we can infer that Rob's dad is trying to share his feelings with Rob. For example, when Rob asked his dad if he can have coffee, his dad smiled at him. That is Rob's dads way of saying yes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Rob and his dad are coming a lot closer and he wont be mean to him anymore. I know this because in the text it said that the dad let him stay from school even though he knows that the rash on Rob is no where near contagious. He should call the school and say that my son has to be in school because the rash is not contagious but he doesn't because he knows that Rob needs a brake from school and the bullies. Also the dad may have made him stay home from school so he can bond with Rob and so he has a brake from the bullies.

Rob and his father are staring to have contact more than they usually do. The seed is starting to grow and hopefully it will keep growing. I think that Dad is trying to open up to Rob and Rob is liking it. Dad want to grow a better relationship with his son because I think he realizes that he did something wrong at the funeral by slapping him. I know this because dad is actually letting Rob stay home from school even though he knows that it's not contagious. I think that he's letting Rob stay home because he wants to spend time with him.

Robs dad is opening up and they are having more conversation. He is being much nicer to Rob. The text displays, " You eat all you want. I ain't hungry his father said." but then a few lines later the text says, "After supper his dad fell asleep in the recliner" and then a few lines later this happens, " his stomach growled long and loud as if he were the hungriest man in the world." He let Rob eat the all the mac'n'cheese and he ate nothing. He gave up his meal just for Rob this shows how He is much nicer to Rob
