24 comments:

  1. Jennings's family includes Jennings, Mother, Larry, Walter, George and Gene.
    Jennings was the main character and his mood was like a rollercoaster. Each mood based on his experience is each different. Mrs. Burch (mother) is in a tired state and can't take care of her children. Thats why the children were sent to homes. Larry is a 11 year old boy that complains alot on the mother's commands
    Walter and George look similar, but they quarrel on deficient things and even for no reason. Gene is a four year old child and the youngest of the brothers.

  2. Jenning has 5 brothers... Larry,Walter,George,Gene,and Jerome. He also has his mom taking care of him and his brothers. Walter and George are the oldest of the Brothers while Gene is the little baby. Jerome has been sick all his life and hospitalized. Larry is like in the middle... he always has to do the boring stuff and never gets to do anything fun... and Jennings of course is the second smallest in the family next to Gene.

  12. Jenning's family is undesirable. First, the two oldest brothers Walter and George are always arguing with mother and usually makes her cry. Walter is the smarter one and George is the man of the house and he smokes. Then, theres Larry who thinks he is unloved and everybody in the house hates him. He also thinks that he does everything around the house. There is also Gene, the youngest in the family, and is usually half of the time asleep. And if mother is out Larry is the one who takes care of him. Finally, theres mother herself and she is ill and needs to rest al the time. In the book she rarely eats because she only makes food for her children.

  13. Jennings's family is not like the family you and I share. His family includes Walter, Gene, George, Larry, Jerome(the brothers) and his mom. George, is not above the influence, he smokes and drinks plus, he fights with Walter. Jerome is desperateley in the hospital waiting for a cure to his heart condition. Finally, mom is sick because it is difficult to care for her family. She sent George, Larry, Walter, Gene and Jennings out to get back on her feet, but when they all came back they all were sent out again.

  14. A way to explain Jennings family is mostly struggling. The people in his family are Gene his baby brother. Then there is Larry the one Jennings is most comfortable with. Next is Jerome but he has been sick his whole life and Jennings only saw him for a couple weeks. Also there is Walter "the brainy kid in the family". Finally there is George " the man of the house or the supporter". Then there is mom that's very vulnerable and ill and trying to support her family. Which I say is like a superhero mom if she's trying her hardest. Maybe there to young but they should appreciate her and what she is doing. They might of stayed at a foster home but she came back and did not let them live there for ever. So that's a real woman in my opinion!

  15. Jennings has 5 brothers named George,Walter,Jerome,Larry,and Gene. All of them are older except for Gene. George and Walter always fight and are in high school. Their mom always tried her best to take care of them. She even didnt even eat that much to feed them. I think that is very brave.

  21. Jennings has six people in his family. Five of those people are his brothers. Gene the youngest. He is always sleeping. Jerome who is 10 and incapacitated. Jennings has never met him until one day he goes home from the hospital. Larry that is 11 and is Jenning's favorite because they have been through most of the same things and are closer in age difference. Walter who is 14 and the intelligent one, and George who is 15, the oldest brother that is always arguing with someone in the family or is usually drinking with his father. Then,there is Jenning's mother, who is always working or getting sick. There isn't that much communication between the family, so there is alot of fighting. The mother and father are seperated so Jenning's mom has to work hard for all her children.

  23. Jennings has many people in his life such as,his mom,Walter,George,Larry,Gene,and doggie.Jennings also has Jerome,his brother that he does not know much about,but the only thing that he knows is that he is in the hospital and he has to pray for Jerome.Jennings also has to face family problems in his life.For example,Walter and George fight all the time which drives their mom nuts.George is a boy who drinks and argues with others especially,his mom.Walter is the one with brains, in the family.He is also very supportive for his mom.Jeannings' favorite brother is Larry. Larry hates being home,he would rather be in the house,when his mom got sick.Gene is the youngest of all.I think of him as a little cry baby, who gives his mom a hard time.Jennings' mom is a hard working lady but she is starting to get sick now because she does not eat.She is the one who gives her family a living and holds the family together.
