Part II: Chapters 25-28

So Miss Foley is wondering about what she's going to do about the whole incident with Will, Jim and Robert. When thinking about her nephew, she says "the nephew" instead of "my nephew", I guess because she knows he's not really her nephew. He promised her something, and gave her a ticket to go on the carousel. She believes that Robert framed the boys in order to get them to leave so they wouldn't interfere with her getting on the carousel. And she calls Charles Halloway....and tells him to meet her in front of the police station.
The boys get dropped off a two random houses near the police station. Then they get into a huge fight about the carnival because Jim wanted to find a way to apologize to Mr. Cooger. Well...it was more like Will freaking out on Jim because Will feels like Jim's going to leave him behind when Jim gets older and junk. And Jim's upset because Will destroyed the carousel. (I decided that maybe, the lightning rod salesmen, maybe secretly wished to be a dwarf and was persuaded to riding the merry go round)
They stop fighting and hide when they hear voices. They hear Mr. Halloway and Miss Foley talking about the incident, and when she asks if the boys are Innocent, where are they, Will jumps up into the window where they're talking and says here. Will, Jim, and Mr.Halloway walk back home together. Jim and Will tell Mr.Halloway about the secret ladders they have going into their rooms and they kind of all bond. After Jim goes home, (after promising to tell his mom the next day), Will and his dad talk about why they confessed to stealing when they didn't. Will promises to tell his dad everything in a few days (after the carnival is gone) on his moms honor. Will and his father continue talking outside about how being good isn't easy and doesn't make you always happy. Will's father knows that Will is wiser than him, and as Will climbs up the rungs to his room, he dares his father to follow and they laugh on the roof together. Will also warns his father not to go to the carnival.

  2. Probably not. It took a lot to understand his figurative language, plus an open mind to science fiction and magic.
