1. Kenny is hesitant to spend time with Rufus because he thought that he and Rufus would get teased twice as much than usual.
2. I think that Kenny is friends with LJ because he was the only person that would hang out with Kenny.
3. Kenny thinks that Rufus is a better friend than Kenny because Rufus doesn't steal a million of Kenny's toy dinosaurs. He also likes Kenny as a real friend, unlike LJ who only hangs out with Kenny to steal his stuff.
4. I think that Joetta likes Kenny, but sometimes Kenny thinks she's a little annoying. I can tell that she like Kenny because she sort of looks up to him and likes to talk to him. I can tell that he thinks that she can annoy him sometimes because when he's on the porch with Byron he says that he hates it when he has to go take Joey's stuff off while she's whining.
5. The author makes the reader sympathize with Larry Dunn when Byron is making his movie with Larry as the star. He makes it sound like it really hurts so you can't help to feel sorry for him.

Chapter 3

#1. Kenny is hesitant to play with Rufus because he thinks that if two people who get teased are in the same place the both get teased twice as much.
#2. Kenny was friends with LJ Jones because he was the only one who would play dinosaurs with him. Nobody else bothered.
#3. Kenny thinks that Rufus is a better friend than LJ because he does not steal dinosaurs from Kenny and Rufus does not mind being the Nazis. Also, Rufus really wants to play with Kenny, LJ just wanted his dinosaurs.

Chapter 3:
1. Kenny is hesitant to spend time with Rufus because Kenny thinks that when Rufus hangs out with Kenny they both would get bullied twice as much as if they wouldn't hang out together.
2. I think that Kenny is friends with LJ because he is his only friend. If LJ and Kenny don't become friends anymore then kenny would have no friends. Also he was a very good dinosaur player. Other then him stealing all of them.
3. I think Kenny ends up thinking that Rufus is a better friend because, first of all he never steals his dinosaurs and secondly Rufus is a true friend. Rufus doesn't bully Kenny and he is glad to be around him.
Chapter 4:
1. I think that the relationship between Joetta and Kenny is they for each other. I think that because when Joetta and Kenny have to wear layers and layers of clothes Kenny comes into Joetta's classroom and helps her get all of her stuff off. hat was very sweet of kenny do that for his little sister.
2. The author made me feel sorry for Larry Dunn because when Byron was beating him up because Larry stole Kenny's gloves, Larry wanted too look all tough but he was in alot of pain. Like he was getting thrown into a fence then got a bloody nose and more. Yet again I think he needed a whooping for doing all of that mean stuff to Kenny.

2. kenny is friends with LJ even though LJ isn't nice to him becuase Kenny doesn't have any other friends and LJ also likes playing with dinasoars.
3. kenny thinks Rufus is a better friend than LJ because Rufus came back even after what Kenny had said also because he never stole any dinasoars.
4.The kind of relationship that Kenny and Joetta have is pretty good becuase they don't really fight. One thing that Kenny does for Joetta is helps her take all her winter clothes off which is pretty nice.
5.The author makes the reader sympathize Larry Dunn becuase he doesn't have gloves or a warm coat. Also his shoes have holes in the bottom.larry is pretty mean, but it might be because he doesn't have much.

1. Kenny is hesitant to spend time with Rufus because Kenny thinks that Rufus and him will get picked on so they'll get picked on double. Also, Kenny thinks that if rufus stays by himself that kids will pick on him instead of Kenny.

2. I think Kenny is friends with LJ because Kenny really has no friends so he wants someone to play with therefore he hangs out with LJ. It said in the book that before Rufus and lj Kenny had no friends.

3. Kenny thinks that Rufus is a better friend than LJ because Rufus doesn't steal his toy dinosaurs when they play with eachother like Kenny. also because likes Kenny for who he saysis not for his toys.

CHAPTER 4

1.I think Kenny has a pretty good realationship with Joetta but thinks she's kind ofanoying. you can tell this because when Kenny tries to take all her winter stuff she starts winning really annoyingly and you can tell he's really annoyed.

2. The author sympathizes with Larry Dunn by having byron beat him up. When Larry Dunn steals Kenny's gloves Byron goes up to Larry Dunn forces the gloves back and then beats him up real bad.

2. I think Kenny is still freinds with LJ because LJ was the only person who would hang out with him.
3. I think kenny thinks that Rufus is a better friend then LJ because Rufus is nice to Kenny, but LJ would steal his dinosaurs.

Chapter 3
1) Kenny is hesitant because he is worried that since both he and Rufus are getting teased, if they hang out together he would get teased twice as much.
2) I think that Kenny is friends with LJ because Byron told him that LJ taking one or two dinosaurs was a fair price for letting Kenny play with him and Kenny believed Byron.
3) Kenny ends up thinking this because LJ stole about a million out of the 2 million that Kenny had.
Chapter 2
1) I think that Kenny likes Joetta. I think this because Kenny goes to Sunday school with her no matter how boring it is. Also Kenny takes off all of Joey’s winter clothes even though she whines and cries all the time. If they get along that means that they have a good relationship.
2) The author has Byron beat Larry up. Also he has Byron do the movie about the fish.

chapter 3 questions:

1) Kenny is hesitant to spend time with Rufus because he is sort of a "bully magnet" and kenny thinks that rufus is saving him from the bullies. Kenny Knows that Byron & Buphead will make fun of rufus . The reason why rufus is a "bully magnet" because he has things that people make fun, of a few of the things that he has a southern accent and also because of his raggedy clothing.
2) I think Kenny is friends with LJ because he plays with him
3) Kenny ends up thinking that Rufus is a better friend than LJ because he plays fair and he is nice and likes Kenny for who he is not for what he has.

chapter 4 questions:

1) The relationship that Kenny has with Joetta is is caring and they are nice to each other because Kenny helps Joetta take off all her layers of Jackets, sweaters and pants.
2) The author makes the reader sympathize with Larry
Dunn because it makes the reader feel bad for Larry but at the same time not like him. One reason is that he stole Kenny's leather rabbit gloves and didn't admit it, but then you feel bad for him because when Byron gets mad at someone, he beats that someone up.

1) He is hesitant because Larry Dunn and the other kids tend to pick on im a lot about his clothes and the call him "country cornflake". Kenny is afraid to get mixed in and become "country cornflake number 2".
2)Kenny is friends with him because if Rufus weren't there LJ would be his only friend.
3)He thinks this because LJ stole things from him while they were playing with the dinosaurs and he always argued on who would be the Nazis. Rufus never stole anything from Kenny and never minds when he has to be the Nazis. Kenny is also willing to share things with Rufus (such as his gloves) without worrying about how he was going to get them back. Rufus also saw how Kenny was different from all the students of Clark Elm.
CHAPTER 4
1) Kenny and Joetta have a much stronger ralationship than with Kenny and Byron. Joetta is very kind to Kenny. The only thing that really annoys him about her is that she complains about all the clothes that they have to wear to school, before they leave the house and at school when Kenny is helping her with it.Byron soon cleared that problem.
2) He does this by getting beaten up much more than he deserved. When he was ging kids Maytag washes, Byron found out that Larry stole Kenny's gloves and went to retrieve them. Byron beats Larry up real good when he refuses to give the gloves back, and even when he did give them back Byron kept pounding away.

1) Kenny is hesitant to spend time with Rufus because if two kids that were easy to tease spent a lot of time with each other, the kids wouldn't tease one of them, they tease both of them more. Since Kenny wanted Rufus to get picked on so he wouldn't, he obviously wouldn't hang out with Rufus.
2) Kenny is friends with LJ because he's the only person who will hang out with him and won't tease him. Kenny decides that even though LJ tricks him, he'll take what he can get.
3) Kenny decides Rufus is a better friend than LJ because Rufus played with him because of who he was, not so he could trick him out of his dinosaurs like LJ did.

4) Kenny's relationship with Joetta is an OK one. It isn't a great one and isn't a bad one either. Kenny takes care of Joetta even though he doesn't want to. For example he took off her clothes for her at school. "'Man I hate taking all that stuff off of Joey...'" Even though he doesn't want to he still does it.
5) The author makes you sympathize with Larry because how he lives since he's obviously poor and has family issues. I remember the book say there was a secret about his mom. "Larry Dunn's tennis shoes had holes in the bottoms..." His coat was also torn and was wearing short-sleeves in the middle of winter.

CHAPTER THREE:

2. Kenny is friends with LJ even though Lj isn't nice to him because Lj is the only person who wants to play with Keeny.

3.Kenny thinks that Rufus is a better friend than LJ because he doesn't tease him
like all the other kids do. One tijme Larry Dunn says "I know your wearing the pants but who's wearing the drawers?" Kenny starts laughing at him, and Rufus gets upset with Kenny, but soon they are friends again. Rufus also lets Kenny be the American dinosaurs without putting up a fight, and also does not steal the dinosaurs like LJJ did.


CHAPTER FOUR:

1. Kenny has a good relationship with Joetta, and it shows because he comforts her and also takes the time to peel off all the layers of Winter coats, sweaters, and shirts off of Joey.

2. I felt bad for Larry because it said he had holes in the bottoms of his shoes and rips under his jacket, and also Byron beatrs him up real bad for stealing kenny's leather gloves by throwing him against the chain-link fence. Byron tells kenny to punch him, but kenny only taps him on ther arm and then Byron punches Kenny in the stomach.
