The story of the Pigman and Me was written by Paul Zindel. It was first published in 1990 by Bantam Starfire. The book is considered an unofficial triquel to the 1968 fiction bestseller The Pigman. It is considered an autobiographic story.
In the story of The Pigman and Me, the fight between Paul and John could have been avoided if Paul had known the rules about the usage of the Paddles. Here we have a quotation from the book to better understand this situation:
<em>“What I didn’t know was that you were allowed to sign out the paddles for only fifteen minutes per period so more kids could get a chance to use them”</em>
So, the final answer to this question is:
<em>the fight could have been avoided if Paul had known the rules for the use of the paddles for only 15 minutes.</em>
The fight between Paul and John could have been avoided if John had explained the rule to Paul instead of just demanding the paddle
Explanation:
"The pigman and me" by Paul Zindel is the story of the growing friendship of two teenagers, but this specific question refers to a misunderstanding that happened in the schoolyard when John thought that Paul was being greedy since he did not know about the rule of time limit for the paddle and Paul had kept it for more than fifteen minutes.
