  1. I think Mr. Pignati is a a very positive role model for John and Lorraine because he let's them visit his house often. He shows love towards them and gives them both the attention they deserve which their parents don't give them at all. Even though Mr. Pignati didn't know them at first, he still accepted them and let them in his house. Sadly, Mr. Pignati actually treats them in a more kinder way then John and Lorraine's parents do. He actually does fun things with them like bring them to the zoo and roller skate with them. John and Lorraine were complete strangers and they could've been killers but Mr. Pignati let them stay at his house. Mr. Pignati says kind and loving things to John instead of nagging him like a robot like his parents do. There is nobody that Lorraine and John love more than Mr. Pignati and that is why is a positive role model.

  3. I feel that Mr. Pignati is a negative role model to John and Lorraine. The reason being is that role models are people that you want to grow up being like. I'm pretty sure no one wants to be a fat man living alone with a monkey as their friend. On the flip-side, Mr. Pignati is nice to John and Lorraine, which is good because without him, I think Lorraine might have killed herself

  4. I think Mr. Pignati is a negative role model for John and Laurraine. First of all a role model is someone that you look up to or someone who influences you. Mr.Pignati is a old guy living alone in a house with pigheads. Also, his only friend is a monkey at the zoo named Bobo. On the other hand, Mr. Pignati is a nice person. He acually greeted them when they were coming into his house even though they were total strangers. He wasn't as threating as i thought he would be.

  5. I think Mr.Pignati is a negative influence because he should teach them to good stuff. For example, your not supposed to waste your money on random children that come to your house. Your not supposed to let kids enter your house while your not there because later on in the story John threw a party that was a disaster.For example, John started fighting with Norton and one of Conchetta's dresses was ripped. Mr.Pignati also a positive influence because he shows John and Lorraine that they always have someone by their side.

  6. I think Mr.Pignati is a postive role model for Lorraine an John because all he has done was to please and give both of them anything they need.Also,was very generous to buy them roller skates and take them out to the zoo.He always mention to them how they are such wonderful kids and very delightful.
