On My Honor - Chapter 3

Before heading down the hill to join Tony at the river, what did Joel take the time to do?

• Call his dad to tell him what they were doing

• Eat a sandwich from the lunch he had packed

• Hide both bikes in the weeds under the bridge

• Get a big drink of water from his bottle

When Joel arrived next to Tony on the riverbank, he looked at the water in disgust and said that you couldn't even see the worst stuff. What did he mean by "the worst stuff"?

• snakes and alligators

• chemicals and sewage

• broken bottles and rusty cans on the river bottom

After Tony stepped into the river, he turned around and asked Joel if he was coming in or not. Joel jokingly answered by saying what?

• "I'm waiting to see if your skin gets instantly infected."

• "I'm waiting for you to ask nicely."

• "I'm waiting for you to change your mind and get out."

• "I'm waiting for you to drown."

When Joel stepped into the river, he was shocked at how strong something was. What was it?

• the wind that was blowing

• the current of the water

• the sun's rays shining down

• the smell of the water

After Tony went under the water and stood back up, Joel thought he looked like "a prehistoric monster emerging from the swamp."

• True

• False

Joel tells Tony that he can swim in the river if he wants, but he's going back to the clean pool in town.

• True

• False

As Tony was thrashing around in the water, what did Joel think to himself?

• That there had to be millions of nasty germs floating in that water.

• That it looked like Tony would come to his senses and get out.

• That it didn't even look like Tony knew how to swim.

• That there was no way Tony was actually having fun.

Joel eased into the water, but thought it smelled like what?

• decaying wood

• decaying fish

• old, stale mud

• his toilet water

What did Tony do to make Joel get mad?

• He made fun of him and said he sounded just like his dad.

• He called him a sissy and said he was a big bore.

• He told him to loosen up and have some fun for once.

• He yelled at him and said he didn't even know how to have fun.

What did Joel say back to Tony to make him get mad?

• "At least my dad is smarter than your dad."

• "At least my dad doesn't go around hitting kids with a belt."

• "At least my dad cares what happens to me."

• "At least my dad likes to do things with me."
