Answer: I didn't read the whole story  but I hope this helps

2.) His father comes in and tries to talk to him, to tell him that he is going over to the Burkes to pay his respects and that Jess ought to come too since he knew the "little girl" best. and tries to be gentle and kind, I think.

3.) Jess is in complete shock throughout this entire chapter, and the chapter is absolutely heart-wrenching. Paterson forces us to put ourselves in Jess's place, to try to imagine the anguish that would cause such a complete retreat from reality. The exact attention to detail, the conversations Jess imagines with Leslie, the pancakes he eats the following morning, all serve to evoke the scenes she describes with a precision and clarity which are amazing.
