Digger’s home life is rough. His mother has to repeatedly take them out of the house for a few days because his dad is violent and had a drinking problem. Digger takes it upon himself to take care of his younger siblings, and makes sure they are okay through everything. I don’t think it’s an excuse for his behavior, but it is a reason. It tells us why, but it doesn’t make it okay. Sometimes people act out in school when other things are bothering them. I don’t think that I’ve ever taken it to Digger’s level, but I am definitely more irritable when something is bothering me. For example, if my parents and I get into a fight before school and don’t resolve it before it starts; I might be in a bad mood that day.
