Paperboy Questions

For reading we had to answer the questions below about the book that we have been reading.

What is the conflict between Ara T and Little Man? How will it be resolved?

Ara T has little man's knife and wont give it back until little man calls it by its proper name, which he
can't because of his stutter so he was planning to take it back in secrecy.

Because Mr Spiro talks in kind and cool ways and little man likes talking with Mr Spiro.

Research what a speech pathologist does. Explain what their job is and how they help people.

They are highly researched proffesionals that help people that have speach problems.

What do you notice about the way that dialogue is written within Paperboy? Why do you think the
author chose to write this way?
* Dialogue is when characters are speaking to each other

It is written on the next line down, I think they chose to write this way because of what was explained
on one of the first pages. They wrote that the person they were writing about in third person didn’t
like commas and apostrophes look like commas.

Pick one character from your organizer that you have been working on. Explain them in full, giving as much detail as we know about them from Chapters 1-6. Little Man is a character who can’t say his name because he has a stutter. He took over his friends paper run after he hurt them with one of his fastballs. He likes to talk to a man named Mr Spiro who talks in odd ways. He lives with a person he calls mam who looks after him and cooks for him.
