Why does Luke's family have to get rid of the hogs?

• No reason. The government just doesn't like pigs.

• Pigs are too much like pets and therefore having pigs was against the law.

• The people moving into the new neighborhood by the Garner family's house wouldn't like the smell of pigs.

• Keeping hogs is a waste of time and money.

Why did the government raise the taxes?

• Because their land is worth more now that fancy, expensive houses are being built near them.

• Because the government is bankrupt and needs money.

• Because the government is greedy.

• Because the family didn't pay enough money in taxes two years before.
