A student wants to use evidence from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" to show that Greg and his father have different ideas
about what is important at the beginning of the story. Which story excerpt would provide the best support for this idea?
O "I had to leave school when I was thirteen," his father had said, "that's a year younger than you are now. If I'd had half the
chances you have, I'd ..."
"And you want to play basketball?" His father's brows knitted over deep brown eyes. "That must be some kind of a joke.
Now you just get into your room and hit those books."
From this spot he could see the blinking neon sign over the bodega on the comer. He sat a while, watching the sign blink
first green then red, allowing his mind to drift to the Scorpions, then to his father.
His father had been a postal worker for all Greg's life, and was proud of it, often telling Greg how hard he had worked to
pass the test.
