Shiloh Chapters 11-12

When Marty goes to bed that night he starts to realize all that he’s done to his family. What are some of those things bothering him that night?

Why can't Marty call down to Doc Murphy's to see how Shiloh is doing?

• his mom won't let him

• David Howard has come to visit and he can't get away

• a storm has blown down the telephone lines

• his family doesn't own a phone

When David arrives at his house, Marty is not in the mood to have any company, but what things do they do anyway?

• they fly a kite

• they chase a groundhog

• they take turns on the bag swing

• they swim in the creek

• they play cops and robbers on the hill

When David finds Shiloh's pen, Marty makes him promise not to tell anyone, not even his mom and dad, what he saw or may "_____________ make you ___________". (just put a space between the two words)

Marty has only said "David Howard" to David twice before in his life. What were those two times?

• when David sat on his mom's paper flower pot

• when David saw Marty with his pants down in the bathroom

• when David nearly drowned in the Shiloh River

• when David was very sick with a fever in the hopital

• when David pointed Marty's rifle at Mary's house

When Marty mentions Judd Traverse to David, what does David think happened to Judd?

Who does Marty think will be the first to spill the beans about Shiloh?

How does Shiloh make his way back to Marty’s house?

• Marty's Dad brings him home

• Doc Murphy bring him to the house

• David's Mom brings him to the house

• Shiloh walked all the way to the house despite his injuries

Why was this possible and/or necessary so soon?

• Shiloh wouldn't stop barking at Doc's house

• Doc had patients coming and he didn't want them to see the dog

• Judd Travers had shown up at Doc's and had almost seen Shiloh

• Doc's wife is extremely allergic to dogs

When Marty’s dad comes home and sees Shiloh, he hardly acknowledges the dog, but when Marty goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth, what does he sees his dad doing with Shiloh?

• scratching Shiloh's back up and down

• letting Shiloh lick his plate clean

• he is teaching him to sit and shake hands

• he and Shiloh are playing tug'o' war with an old sock
