2. Were you surprised that Billy put so much time and energy into saving money for the two dogs? Why or why not? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer. I was suprised that Billy put so much time and effort into saving money for the two dogs. I was suprised because it took 2 whole years just to get fifty dollars for two dogs. He also worked very hard gettting just ten cents for only a bucket of berries and think how many buckets he would need to get fifty dollars. Billy also went through alot of pain with the thorn bushes and catching fish while he was doing all of ths barefoot. 4. Why do you think Grandpa was so surprised when Billy brought in his fifty dollars? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer. I think grandpa was so suprised because grandpa probablyhas less money than that at the time because that is alot of money. Also it probably takes Grandpa along time to get fifty dollars. Last that was alot of money to see a young boy collecting.
