discussioner March 24

The most important part of this weeks discussion is that Tom (the main character) is wearing the dead boy's jacket and now everyone thinks that he is some bad kid called the smasher. Although Tom knows that he is not the smasher he cannot tell them that he is the not the smasher because he thinks that the boys will kill him. So right now he is just trying to keep it cool. But that changes when all of the children tell him to go up to a man and hit him in the back of the head with a cudgel. Tom could not do this and got blamed by the man for being a thief. Tom will probably get arrested for this.
