Dead End in Norvelt

We came to an interesting part in the book when Jack mowed down the corn field when his mother told him that if he does he will be grounded forever. If you were Jack what would you do? Would you mow it down like your dad told you to or would you leave it be like your mom told you to? When Jack is at baseball practice he sees his mom coming with a wooden spoon in her hand and Jack can feel his nose start to bleed. Jack starts running widly and looks like a turkey with its head cut of. I think that was a funny part in the book and want to know what you would do if your mom came to your baseball practice with a wooden spoon in her hand. What do you think will happen to Jack when his dad finds out about him shooting the sniper rifle? I want to all of your thoughts about this chapter.

  2. I don't know who I would listen to if my mom told me NOT TO DO what my dad tells me when my dad tells ME TO DO what the opposite of what my mom said. I WOULD BE REALLY CONFUSED!!!!!!
    It would've been really funny to be Jack's teamates in that situation.

  3. I would cut down the corn even if my mom told me not to and then my dad told me to because normoly when your dad tells you to do something it's important.If my mom came to baseball practice I'd start running exactly like Jack did because I would be freaked out. If I were Jack and my dad found out about the sniper rifle he would be IRATE!!!

  4. I wouldn't mow down the rest of the field because I would get in trouble by my mom really bad and she would tell my dad about shooting the rifle which would make him really mad. I thought it was hilarious when it said that he looked like a bloody turkey with its head cut off. I could imagine my mom coming with a wooden spoon. I would start running like carzy. I think that his dad will ground him for even longer. This chapter was funny.

  5. If I was Jack I wouldn't know what to do about the corn and if I saw my mom coming I would run just like Jack but I would try to go faster than him. And I think that Jack's dad won't be that mad but still mad.
