The Watsons Go To Birmingham - 1963 Chapters 1-2

The neighbors called Kenny's family "The Weird Watsons" because they were different from their neighbors. This suggests that the Watsons had unique habits or characteristics that set them apart from the rest of the community. The fact that they let stray dogs stay in their garage or raised animals in their yard may contribute to their distinctiveness, but the main reason for the nickname is their overall deviation from the norms and expectations of their neighbors.

Byron is most likely to cause problems for the family in the story because he is described as a troublemaker and often gets into trouble. This suggests that his actions and behavior may lead to conflicts or difficulties within the family.

Kenny referred to his brother as a "god" at their school because his brother was older and stronger than most of the other kids. This implies that Kenny's brother was highly respected and admired by his peers due to his physical prowess and dominance over others.

Kenny's mama is from Alabama.

Kenny was reluctant to read in front of the class because his brother was present. It is likely that Kenny feels self-conscious or embarrassed about reading in front of his sibling, possibly because he is afraid of being judged or teased. The presence of a family member can sometimes create added pressure or discomfort in certain situations, especially when it involves performing or speaking in public.

The new kid was going to be Kenny's personal "saver" by diverting the attention of the other kids towards himself. This would prevent them from teasing Kenny as they would be too busy picking on the new kid.

The correct answer is "The family watched the weather on tv." This answer is based on the chronological order of events. It suggests that before Byron's lips got stuck to the mirror, before Dad started the car, and before the boys had a snowball fight, the family watched the weather on TV.

The genre of this book is historical fiction because it combines fictional characters and events with real historical settings and time periods. This genre allows readers to explore and learn about historical events in an engaging and entertaining way.

The reason they were going that Saturday was because their heat wasn't working. This suggests that they needed to go somewhere else to find warmth or to get their heating system fixed.

The correct answer is "to go stay with a relative." This can be inferred from the fact that they were leaving the house on a Saturday, which suggests that they were planning to stay somewhere else for a period of time. The other options, such as going to Birmingham, going to the grocery store, or going to church, do not provide any indication of leaving the house for an extended stay.
