Chapter 2

I cant believe what i heard today. Mrs. Caroline told me i to stop reading with my father. I dont understand because i knew everything we talked about in class and i helped my teacher when she was wrong. But she still said my dad shouldnt read to me because he isnt a teacher. She said i was very intelligent but, I only know what my dad has taught me so he has to be doing something right. I dont know if i should stop reading.













Walter Cunningham had an even worse day the i did, which is surpriseing. The teacher made fun of him for not having a lunch. and she offered him a quarter but he didnt take it. I thought that was strange, but it was because he wouldnt take anything he couldnt pay back. I guess thats how he was brought up because hes really poor. But luckily for him he only comes once a year to school. I feel bad because they are so poor that his dad is allowed to hunt out of season.
