Answer:
Difficult times can make someone lie.
Explanation:
In the story 'Condensed Milk', the author tries to communicate the idea that it is alright to lie when someone has bad intentions towards you. Though no specific phrase mentions this idea, we can understand through the whole story that the author did what was best for him which was by lying to Shestakov that he would go along with him if he bring him food. It was such a difficult time for him that he had to lie just to get some food.
The lines " 'You know,’ I said, carefully licking the spoon, ‘I changed my mind. Go without me.’" and "I mean, after all, two cans of condensed milk aren’t such a big deal." presents the idea that he lied to him because the escape plan was devised and he just wanted some food.
Answer: A. he wants to beat up monkey man so Tigros will let him join
Explanation:
This relates to the short story,<em> Monkeyman</em> in the collection of short stories known as, <em>145th Street</em> by <em>Myers Walter Dean</em>.
In this story, a boy named Monkeyboy(so called because he likes to climb trees to read) saved a girl named Peaches from being stabbed by a female member of the Tigros gang which infuriated the Tigros causing them to issue threats against Monkeyman.
Clean was a new boy in the school who claimed to have run with the Crips and when he heard of the Tigros he wanted to join them. They inferred that if Clean was to beat up Monkeyboy (or worse), he could get into the gang. And so began his animosity towards Monkeyboy.
