 * Qusetion** 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.


 * Answer** I wasn't supprissed because I would apply myself to him and if I wanted something enough like he wanted those dogs I could work supper hard to get it. Also he was very determenied because he was ill because he wanted them and he lost his appitite and all this crazy stuff happened to him because he was so focused on getting the dogs, if a person is that crazed about getting something they would probably do anything in their power to get it. Also he saw the add about the dogs for $25 each and if he wasn't crazy enough that set him loose because if his dad said no to $75 there would be a better chance of him getting the dogs without hime even doing anything exept asking. The last reason I am not supprised is becausehe didn't want just any kind of dog he wanted two hound huntting dogs. If someone didn't want something bad enough to save all there money for two years they would of just setled for any dog but he wanted the hounds.


 * Qusetion ** 3. Compare and contrast how are you similar to and different than Billy? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer.

Answer Billy and I are similar because we are determined to get something we want no matter what we have to do to get it. I know that he is determined because he didn't buy anything for 2 years so he could get something (the dogs) that he really wanted, i have done thigs like that when i wanted to buy a Wii on the first day it came out. What i did was save my money for a year and when it came to the day before the Wii came out i won the chance to stay in a store all night to be one of the first to buy it. We are different because Billy is very care free and dosen't really seem to care about anything but hunting and his dogs. I know this because Billy didn't care that the people laughed of him or he dosen't care about shoes or even if his parrents are worried sick because he left to go get the pups and didn't tell anyone. I care about almost everything, what people think (especially my parrents) if i get good grades and anything ensle I do.
