===**WhenWalter tells us about the place he lives in then he starts talking about his relationship with his mama. The bond between them was alot better than most people have with their step mom. Walter's mama treats him with alot of love and attention because he is the youngest and the only boy amoung his sisters. Also that his mother in-law can be a tiny bit strick to him but, that ws only because he broke Genny's wacth that she bought her. Finally he tells about how mama taught him how to read well enough and she listens to soap operas with him. This was a summary of Bad Boy chapter 2 Harlem.**=== ===**Walter is adjusting to school pretty good so far but when he goes to second grade he has some problems. His teachers are trying to teach him better speech so he doesn't pronounce anything wrong. Also he is getting into lots of fights and slapping people and his teacher slaps him when he does it. When Walter's mama heard about it she made sure that the teacher didn't slap him again. Walter's teacher didn't take kindly to what happened so she failed him in many parts of his report card. This was a summary for chapter 3.**=== ===**Walter's in third grade and his teacher still hates him and gives him bad marks on his report card again. Walter tells us about another family member and it is Voila's husband, Frank Stephen Law. Walter had been somewhat good at Arithmetic so Frank helps him out with it. Walter has moved up to fourth grade and his teacher knows about everything that happened last year so she keeps a close eye on him. Walter got into another fight but this time its with Bunny. The way it happened was because they got into an aguement and Walter pushed him into the closet and Bunny wouldn't move until Walter moved in and got punched twice one in the stomach and one in the eye. Walter then went home and threw up so his mom brung him to the hospital and he had to get his appendix removed. After a peroid of time Walter went home but, mama told him to not do anything but, he disobeied her and rode his bike but, saw his father and stuggled to get home. His father asked why he was curled up and lifted the covers and saw blood oozing from his bandages so he picked Walter up and they rushed toward the hospital. Now Walter has to stay in the hospital for almost the rest of the third grade year so they promoted him up into fourth grade. This was a summary for chapter 4.**=== ===Walter's new school is a public school and his teacher Mrs.Conway tells him on the first day to get in the closet because he threw a book at Johnny Brown because he laughed after he spoke. Once again he hits Johnny and has to wash blackboards because of it. After a while Mrs.Conway sends Walter to a desk in the back of the room and makes him read a book that turns his life around. Now he likes Mrs.Conway and gets the poem in the school magazine thats called,"My Mother" and goes home to show his mama.===
