Tight Chapters 9-12

12/15/2021

After reading 9-12, answer the two questions below. Make sure you label question 1 and question 2 in your answer.

Question 1:
Why do you think Brian likes the quiet and wants to bring it back to his projects?

Question 2:
In the text, it states, “I cross the street and want to hug him. But we just stand a couple of feet apart and nod… I want to ask him if he ate. I want to ask him where he slept last night. But I don’t… I want to say a lot to him. He brushes his hand in the air like I should go. So I do.”
Brian seems to always want to say things to his Pa, but he holds back. Why do you think he doesn’t say what’s on his mind? Do you think he should or shouldn’t say what’s on his mind?

1 i think he likes the peace and quiet because he has been going through a lot and he really just wants to have some time to think and relax.

2 i think that he just does not feel comfterble talking to his pa and saying what he actually wants to say. i think that he should say what's on his mind because maybe pa will understand and he might bond while they talk.

1. I think Bryan likes peace and quiet because he has a lot going on in his life and just wants everything to be calm.
2. I think that Bryan doesn't say what's on his mind because he thinks that people would judge him, but I do think he should say what's on his mind because he should let his family and Mike know what's going on in his life.

Question 1: I think Brian likes the quiet because it’s always so loud from his family fighting to the busy city streets. I believe some peace and quiet would be nice to have in his situation.

Question 2: I think Brian doesn't want to bother pa for all that’s going on but also I think Brian feels that Pa might not want to listen or might not care about what he says since Pas never around.

ya there has been a lot of things in his family and it is very loud. it is probably very stressful and he probably needs to rest.

I think you're right on how it might be stressful for Bryan.

I agree how you said Bryan might be afraid that his Pa won't want to hear it because he isn't around much.

1.) I think Bryan likes the quiet because it is so loud in his city and his apartment and that makes him mad but the quiet calms him down. I think he wants to bring it back to his projects because his family and friends are loud and he just wants to chill out.
2.) I think Bryan doesn't say some of the things he wants to say to his Pa because he wants his Pa to respect him and not think that his son is weird. I think Bryan doesn't say these things because he thinks his Pa will think badly of him if he says it. I think Bryan should say whats on his mind unless it's disrespectful because then they might bond and I don't think that Bryan's Pa will think badly of him just because he said something.

I agree with how you said he should say what he wants to say unless its disrespectful because then that would just get his Pa mad and not accomplish anything.

I agree it can be very loud because of his family’s situation and the loud city around him.

1.) I think Bryan wants to bring the calm and quiet to his home because he wants to try to cancel out his parents fighting and maybe try to make his parents stop fighting. Maybe also because of Mike has all of his crazy ideas and Bryan just wants to get away from the craziness.
2.) I think Bryan doesn't say anything because he is afraid that his Pa might get mad at him because he is kind of on edge with all the fighting. and also maybe because Bryan is afraid that he might embarrass his dad in front of his friends.
