I think that Richard is a angry. This is because his aunt is mad at him for no reason and someone had blamed him for something he didn't do.

I think that Richard is mad. This is because he was beaten for no reason. He feels that if he is beaten because he did something bad, then that's fair. But, he was beaten for something that he was falsely accused of.

I think Richard is scared. This is because his mom is very sick. She keeps getting paralisis from strokes. This means that she can't make money to support the family and She might die.

I think that the boy is confused.This is because he said a word that he didn't know. After this, he got whipped with a wet towel. He had learned the words at school, but nobody believed him.

I think that my prediction about the book taking place in the 1950's was right. This is because the mother seems to be vert strict. For example, she wouldn't let her son back into the house unless he had groceries.
