Chapter 3

Name ____________________________                  Date _______________________


The title of chapter three is, “Why can’t I learn?”  There is certainly reason for this to be an appropriate title.  However, as I was reading the chapter I thought of the title, “Life on the Farm”. 

Which do you think is the most appropriate title for chapter three?  You must provide text-relevant support to explain your reasoning.








On page 27 the author remarks that Farmer Hogget “caught himself half-expecting, when he patted the piglet, that it would wag its tail.”

Why would Farmer Hogget “half-expect” this?
