  5. I think his dad is mean because Jess wanted to be an artist and his dad said what do they teach you at that damn school. I like how deserving they are. When Jess said" it felt like a hellhole" see very deserving .

  7. I think Jesse is lonely because there were no other males at his house. His father was always at work and he had no brothers or male friends. I think Jess's mom yells at him a lot because she gets frustrated about having to do the cooking,cleaning,and clothing washing. I think that this was a very colorful and interesting chapter.

  11. I think Jess feels lonely because his family doesn't like art at all.If people don't like what you like and, won't do it with you you feel lonely.When family's don't have a lot of money there is stress.That is why I think Jess's mom yells at him a lot.-Ben

  20. I think Jess felt lonley becausethere was barley anyone in the house.Only Jess, Jess's mom, and May Belle.None of his friends were there with him.I think Jess's mom is not his true mom and maybe he was adopted because moms don't yell at unless you really are bad and Jess is not-ZAYNE-cool story:)

  22. Ithink Jess felt lonely because nobody liked to run with him.Plus he is the only boy there since his father works all of the time and he is stuck with girls.They all did other things and they didnt run with him at all.Also Jess`s mom might think that he is mean to his younger and older sisters.His mom may like her daughters than her son.P.S love the book ~ALIYA GILL

  24. I think Jess is lonely because he's in a house with 5 girls and his dad only comes home at night past dark. Jess's mom yells at him so much because Jess is always drawing without telling, messing with his sisters and not being responsible about doing his chores.:)- NAAADDDIIIIAAA(nadia white)- Ms.Powell

  26. I think he feels lonely because he has so many girls in his house and his dad is never there to be at the house because he has to go to his work every day(until he got kicked out of his work and had no money afterward.) to get money for the family so they wouldn’t be pour.
