Chapter+08+Summary

Chapter 8 begins with Tom running after Becky got mad and yelled at him. He runs into the forest to a place where he has some things burried, and sits down to think. He decides on a number of career options like being a soldier, Indian, or pirate because it would get him away from home. When Joe Harper comes, they take out fake swords and play Robin Hood, and the chapter ends with them wishing there were still real outlaws to make life more dangerous. They also make the comment that "they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever". At the very end they are walking home.

Prompt-chapter 8

Do you think, if they were really given the option, that they would pick outlaw over President? Why do you think so?
