Chapter Six
Predictions: 1) Pinky will soon get big and get into trouble.
2) Robert will be having a hard time during school.
Questions: 1) why did Robert get a D in English but all A's in the other subjects?
2) How come Mrs.Peck and Aunt Carrie can't read but Aunt Matty can?
3) Why does Aunt Matty act so stuck up?
4) Why would Aunt Matty want to tutor the pig instead of Robert?
Clarifications: I did get this chapter. After reading the whole chapter I now understand why both mother and Aunt Carrie can't read because they never had an education. And on the other hand Aunt Matty did and she basically thinks she is Miss.Know It All because she actually went to school.
Connections: 1) I have had family that have tired to help me with school. It did work for a while but it never really stuck with me.
2) I had gotten a D+ in English in 7th grade because I just never really tired. I always knew what the teacher was talking about but I didn't pay attention.
Summary: Schools out, Robert is walking home with Pinky, which by the way isn't so little anymore. When Robert gets home his mom is waiting for him and told him that someone was here. It was his Aunt Matty. She is a friend of his mom and her sister, but he just calls her aunt. She comes over to their house about once a month to talk about gossip. While there he takes out his report card without thinking about it. He tells his mom that he has all A's but doesn't bother to tell her about the D because she they can't read. But then Aunt Matty suddenly starts to freak out yelling and saying how does he get a D in English. Aunt Matty then tells him that she will start to tutor him immediately. At the end Aunt Matty says that she would rather tutor the pig.
