Answer:

When a fight nearly broke out between John McNab and Mars Bar, Maniac stepped in and simply led Mars Bar away from the McNab home.

Explanation:

Maniac was instrumental in bringing Mars Bar to the McNab's home for the birthday party. But Mars Bar was uncomfortable being in a white home and the McNab family were uncomfortable having a black in their home. When the McNab boys played the game "blacks and whites", it made Mars Bar very uncomfortable.

Maniac's purpose of inviting Mars Bar to the birthday party was to teach Mars Bar about the white people and to teach the white about the blacks. But it wasn't actualized.

"Maniac Magee" is a story by American author Jerry Spinelli. The story's themes center on racism and inequality. It tells the story of an orphan boy who was looking for an abode and a home in the fictional town of Two Mills. Two Mills is a town which was torn between the East and West, blacks and whites.

It also gives an indication that the mystery will have been solved by the end of the passage. </span>

Answer:

If I had to live through this, then I know that I'd hate it, but it would teach me so many things such as hard-work, respect, and even self-discipline. This would teach me to be more respectful to my parents and to understand what they did for me. I wouldn't really like it, but I'd understand my obligations. I'd have grown up to be a respectful, honest, and hard-working person. This sounds terrible to go through, but to build character, it's pretty good.

Explanation:

I'd really hate to have to go through this...
