The widow’s cow, Milky-white, stopped giving milk one morning and so the family had to find a new source of income. The widow was very worried about having to find food and money to live off of, but Jack said: “Cheer up, mother, I’ll go and get work somewhere” (156). The mother replied back, “We’ve tried that before, and nobody would take you” (156). This shows how Jack is treated as a little boy at this time in the story. Jack can’t find work possibly because he is too young or too small to provide a service for anyone.

They start off by stealing his bag and planting his maths teacher Mr Macallan’s wallet in it knowing he would get the blame because he couldn’t explain why it was there. They then steal their year’s report cards from the head of years office blaming it on Malarkey and they then only have to wait to see if he stays at Brook High or not, but while they await this verdict John Malarkey becomes more a threat to ‘the tailors’ than they are to him. The first Characteristic we hear of Malarkey in the book is that he is quite aggressive my evidence of this is “Come here I snarled as I grabbed his arm, hauling him into the empty classroom” This makes me think he is aggressive because he sounds as if he cant hold his anger so becomes aggressive towards Simon Penn.
