Predictions: 1) Haven will soon die.
2) Robert will leave school and work for the farm.
3) Robert will become a man.
Questions:1) Why didn't they tell the whole town to come to the funeral?
2) Now that Robert is thirteen can he finally work for money?
3) Why didn't Robert just say that Haven was died when he came into the house?
Clarifications: I fully understand this chapter. I know what Robert would be feeling having to lose someone that close to you. And then having to grow up that fast so that he can get his family together and get everything running mus t be rough on him.
Connections: 1) I have lost someone very special to me, my grandma we were very close with each other and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her.
2) But the sad thing is that I couldn't be there for the funeral.
Summary: Haven had leaved through the winter. Robert woke up and had notice that Haven wasn't up he had a feeling that he was died because Haven would always wake up before him. Robert say that Haven was on the straw and wasn't moving so he just told him to rest and that he would do all the chorus and that he wouldn't have to worry about working anymore and that he will be able to rest. He went to mom and Aunt Carrie and just told them that dad won't be eating breakfast then both knew what that meant. Robert then said that he would go tell people and talk to Mr.Wilcox. When Robert was done telling people Mr.Wilcox was here at his house with the coffin. They got Haven all dressed up to put him in it. Robert as the oldest son said some few words.
