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 wasn't really surprised because first of all he said that he wouldn't give up until he got those dogs! He also knows how to work for something that he really wants. Another piece of evidence is that I knew he had a lot of things to do where he could win at least a little bit of money.

3. Compare and contrast how are you like and different than Billy? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer? Some of the ways I'm like him is that I never give up when I want something. I also work for something I want. I also do a lot of chores just like Billy. Some of the ways I'm different is because it takes me way longer to save up money. I've also never saved up money for pets. Another thing is that I'm not living on a farm. I also don't do as much labor as Billy.
