  7. 1. To go back to Massachusetts to get the rest of the family.

    2. A watch and a rifle

    3. the watch is to keep track of the weeks his father is gone and the rifle is to kill animals for food.

  12. 1.so that he can go get his mom, his sister, and the new baby and also so he can get more food.

    2.a watch and a rifle.

    3.his family has passed the watch down for generations and he was the next to get it, the rifle was his dads and he had always watched his dad shot it and it was a thing that his dad told him to keep if ever needed.

    what i think will happen next is they will not have enough food for all of them and his dad will have to leave again to go get more food.
