Chapter 7: Response/Thoughts
Although brief, chapter 7 held many events critical to the novels continuance. The final happenings of the chapter, when Billy and Edgar Derby are sneakily eating syrup, reminds me of my younger cousins. Children always seem to be sneaking a cookie out of the cookie jar. Then, when someone begins to approach, they quickly eat it or put it back. Billy does this to Edgar at the end of the chapter. He quickly stuffs the syrup lollipop into Edgar's mouth and hides it before the person gets to them.

I thought the same thing when i was reading this. Billy and Edgar sounded like little children sneaking and hiding "sweets" from their parents that they weren't supposed to have.
