On My Honor ch. 11-12

Joel is wide awake in bed when he hears a car pull up, doors closing, and voices talking quietly. Jumping out of bed and looking out the window, who does he see?

• The teenaged boy and girl going to the Zabrinsky's.

• His mom and dad getting back from searching for Tony.

• A cab dropping off somebody at the Zabrinsky's

• Two police officers arriving at the Zabrinsky's

Joel's mom comes outside and walks with him over to the Zabrinsky's.

• True

• False

When the officers said that they'd found Tony's clothes and bike by the river, what did Tony's dad do?

• He began crying and turned to hug his wife.

• He asked Joel if he knew that Tony had gone down to the river.

• He grabbed the shirt away from the officer.

• He became angry and started yelling.

After everyone stares at him, Joel finally blurts out that Tony had wanted to go swimming. He swore that he tried to talk him out of it.

• True

• False

After his outburst, Joel runs back to his house. He knows who should be blamed for Tony's death. Who is it?

• Joel's dad

• Tony's dad

• Tony

• Joel

After Joel ran to his room, he waited for his father to come in and do what?

• Tell him everything would be all right

• Tell him that the police had found Tony's body

• Punish him for yelling at him, hitting him, and daring Tony to swim out to the sandbar

Joel could still smell the stench of the river. How long did he think the smell would last?

• Another day or two

• A week or so

• A month or more

• For the rest of his life

Why did Joel think he was to blame for Tony's death?

• If Joel hadn't argued about going to the bluffs, then Tony wouldn't have died.

• Because Joel had dared Tony to swim to the sandbar.

• Because Joel had been the one to talk Tony into swimming.

What did Joel say to his dad that made him grab his arm (almost roughly)?

• That he felt like the world was out to get him.

• That it should've been him (that died).

• That he hated Tony for being so stupid.

• That he never wanted to have another best friend.

Joel's dad said that everyone (Except WHO?) would have to live with the choices they'd made that day.

• Joel's mom

• Tony's mom

• Joel's baby brother, Bobby

• Tony
