2 I think Joetta put the angel in the drawer because the angel was white.

2 I think Kenny is scared of driving through the mountains because it is extremly dark and the mountains look like scary shapes.

1)I think that Mr. Watson wanted to install the TT-700 because in the car there isn't a whole lot to do while you are driving, so I think he put it in to keep him occupied.
2)I think she wants to keep the angel in drawer because she didn't really like the angel she was given because it was white and didn't look like her at all.
3)I think that she is so careful with planning this trip because she deosn't want anything to go wrong or have something happen to them so she has to be careful the way she plans things.
CHAPTER 10
1)He describes them by saying calling them crackers and rednecks and telling Kenny that if they caught you, you'd be hung.
2)Because Byron scared him with the white people in the woods, and it says in the book that Kenny thought that it was really dark and that frightened him.

1. I think he decides to install TT-700 in the Brown Bomber because no one wants to do the trip so he wants people to enjoy it so he installs lots of fun. Also because he is planning to go the whole way without stopping and save money so he spent a little.
2.I think Joetta hides it because it's kind of embarrasing that Mrs. Davidson thinks it looks like her. Joetta is kind of offended by it. She doesn't want anyone to see it.
3. I think she planned the whole trip because once she goes down south anything they do has to be carefull because down south white folks hate black and abuse blacks. So when they want to stay somewhere they have to be carefull where.
CHAPTER 10
1. He describes white people as crackers and Red necks he also if white people they would hang them and then eat them.
2. Kenny feels scared because it's so high up that he feels like they might fall of.

1. I think that Mr.Watson puts the TT-700 in the Brown Bomber because he thought it would impress everybody and make them think that he's the best. Another reason, I think, is just so they can listen to records on the way to Alabama.
2. I think Joey wants to keep the angel in her sock drawer because Mrs.Davidson said that it looked like her, even though it was white. This upset Joey.
3. I think that Mrs.Watson plans everything because then she'll know how much money they were going to spend on the trip. Also so there would be no confusion as to where they would spend the night and things like that.
4. Byron calls white people "crackers" and said that is they found them out there the white people would hang them and then eat them later.
5. Kenny is scared because Byron said that if anybody found them in the mountains they would be hung and then eaten.

CHAPTER 9)

1) I think that daddy decides to get the TT-700 not only becuase he doesn't want to get hooked on country music but also, maybe because it is a way of getting everyone asleep and not be so annoying during the trip.
2) I think Joetta wants to keep the angel in the draw because she realized that it was white not black and she was upset by that.
3)I think Mrs. Watson is so carefull because she doesn't want anything to get off track she wants to make sure that the children won't be hungrey and things like that.

CHAPTER 10)
1) He says that the people there are very racist asnd they don't like having black people around. When Kenny asked Byron do you think there are any snakes Byron said no but, there are white people.
2)Kenny feels scared because it is so dark out and so cold, and when Byron tells him about all of the white people and how they hate blacks, that makes Kenny even more scared.

1) Mr. Watson installed the TT-700 for a few reasons. One of them being that since it's a long ride, it's good to have a new "toy" to keep everyone busy fooling around with it. Another reason is that usually music "hums" people to sleep, which is good since you don't want four people jabbering and arguing when you're trying to drive.
2) Joetta wants to keep the angel from Mrs. Davidson hidden because it's white and Mrs. D said it looked like her, and Joey I'm guessing is a little embarrassed and maybe even insulted by it.
3) Mrs. Watson is really careful with trip planning such as where they are going to stop because she knows since they are going down south not every Motel would rent a room to a black family. If she didn't plan that way and a hotel wouldn't take them they might end up sleeping in the car one night which really wouldn't be good.
4) Byron describes white people in the mountains by using slang such as, "crackers", "rednecks", and "hillbillies".
5) Kenny feels scared because Byron makes up stories or exaggerates the truth and he did that on the mountain, so Kenny is feeling scared. For example By said that white people up here would hang you and eat you.

1. I think daddy got the record player installed because he did not want to drive through the north to the south without some music. If he did not install it he would have to put up with By and Kenny fighting the whole entire trip.
2. I think she wants to do that because doesn't think it was a good gift because the angel that MRS. Davidson gave her is white and i think Joey felt somehow offended.
3. I think she was careful with it because she is very organised and knows when everything is going to happen. the one thing she doesn't know is that daddy is is going to try to drive strait to Alabama and try to save some money.
4. Byron decribes them like a hillbilly that would walk up to them and steal them and cook them for dinner. When Kenny heard this we ran and felt warm pee drizzle down his leg.
5. I think he felt scared becuase he didn'want a hillbilly jumping out and scaring him to death.

2. I think Joetta wants to keep the angel in her drawer because she isn't very proud of it because the angel was white and Mrs. Davidson said it looked like her so it made her feel bad because she isn't white.
3. Mama is planing the trip because she is organized and Mama is planing where to stay because some places may not let her stay at some hotel's because they are black.
Chapter 10:
1. Byron calls them hillbillies or rednecks.Byron thinks that they will hang you and eat black people for dinner.
2. I think Kenny was scared because he was scared at first the hillbillies were going to see his car when the lights turn on and eat him for dinner and he is in the middle of darkness so nobody could save him other than his family, which would he hung too because they were black. Or the other guess it that he is scared of the dark.
