2. In this chapter, we are introduced to some of the other older boys: Roger and Maurice. As they hurry to go swimming, they kick over some of the littluns' sandcastles and then Maurice hurries away. Compare that to Roger later throwing stones around one of the littluns, Henry, but never actually hitting him. Why does Maurice hurry away? And why does Roger aim for Henry but does not actually hit him?- Bryan Eltman You can tell that Roger and Maurice are both bullies but they still have a sense of right and wrong.
