Im Not Scared Chapter Questions
I’m Not Scared: Chapter Questions
Chapter 1 pp. 1-41
1. Acqua Traverse has a very farm like setting, with a heap of livestock and things such a vegetables growing. It was a countryside setting. Acqua Traverse is very desolate during the day, only the children venture outside as it is summer and is extremely hot. The adults stay inside during the day to escape the heat. It seems as if most people in Acqua Traverse know each other as well.

Around his friends Michele tries to act tough and look like he doesn’t care for his sisters but deep down he truly does care for her and her wellbeing. Maria looks up to her older brother Michele and just wants to do everything he does on a day-to-day basis.
3. Skull, being the oldest of the group, is the chief of the group. He controls them by giving them orders and telling everybody else what to do, if he wasn’t obeyed by one of the members of the group he would get angry.

5. Michele takes Barbara’s forfeit because he knows that none of the boys in the group want to see her ‘slit’ and also he doesn’t want Skull to hit Barbara. Because he has a younger sister I think
