"There ain't no need to fear a cootie, ma'am. Aint' you ever seen one? Now don't you be afraid, you just go back to your desk and teach us some more."(Pg 34) These words were said by Little Chuck Little, but they can also show that Burris' hair was so dirty that even the teacher can find cooties on his head. He is not paying too much to his hygiene.

The boy's condescension flashed to anger "You try and make me,missus"(Pg 36) This quote indicates that Burris was so angry that he can not control himself.

"Report and be damned to ye! Aint't no snot-nosed slut of a schoolteacher ever born c'n make me do nothin' ! You ain't makin' me go nowhere missus. You just remember that, you ain't making' me go nowhere!" (Pg 37) This quote shows how burris disrespected his teacher by calling her a "slut" it also shows how bad his English is and what arude person he is.
