6. Leigh loved his dog Bandit very much, but in the end of the story he gave the dog back to his dad. Do you agree with this decision why or Why not?

I agree with the decision because it shows the Leigh was more mature than his father. It he thought about his favorite author how amuse. At this point Leigh would not know how to amuse Bandit. The dog is just like his father a wonder. Pg 133 and what his mother said on page 76 Maybe Bandit is just a bum. How they got Bandit he just jumped into the Cab.


7. Divorce is a touchy subject:

Yes for I have personally been through one. It's painful and hurtful. However sometimes its necessary for I was a victim of domestic violence.
