1. What was Injun Joe's statement at the inquest?
Tom did not like Sundays because:
- he had to memorise at least five verses of the Bible for Sunday school.
- He had to have his face and neck inspected by his cousin Mary, to ensure cleanliness.
- he had to wear his 'other clothes'
2. Why did Tom go to see Potter?
At first, Tom just wet the soap and poured away the water. Being compelled by Mary, he bathed and returned groping for the towel with his hands, while soap suds and water dripped from his face. Even after wiping himself with the towel, he was still not scrubbed to Mary's satisfaction.
3. Why did Tom and Joe feel that nobody loved them?
Mary got Tom ready for Sunday school, in exchange for a brand new pocket knife.
4. What did the two boys plan to do as they walked?
Tom did not have a wide choice of clothes. He disliked his 'other clothes' as he was wearing the same clothes on all Sundays for the last two years.
