So I am happy that this term is over because I can start a new book this book was to repetitious. I started to get bored with it. Although I did not finish the book just reading the chapters i read it just kept on talking about how he kept on stealing things and getting a beat from his mother. At times I just wanted him to get hit really hard in the head and that will make the light bulb and realize that if you keep on stealing and playing hookey then you are not going to get anywhere in life. Even though there was several parts in the book where he started to actually go to night school end up wanting to be something in life. He still did stupid things like get high once in a while. I remember one part of the book where he notices that one of his sisters is acting completely opposite from how she was before. He was blaming his mom with not being on top of her. But at the same time I think that it is his fault because when he was younger he would be the one who would do all the bad things. And his sisters and brothers are probably saying why did you didn't stop Claude from doing it when he was younger? So it was like he was a bad role model for his little siblings.

Reaction
When I read this quote I said to myself if a kid steals money especially money for the bills then the kid needs serious help. Having your father threaten you is basically saying why were you even planing to go there because that is the wrong move. This is a kid stealing money to by drugs. What you can also tell from this quote is that this kid is addicted to drugs. Another thing you can tell is dialect in the quote "wit" its slang for with.
