I wanted to punch him in the nose and make him bleed. I wanted to punch him in the eye and make him blind. I wanted to kick him in the balls and make him pass out...Dad just looked down at me with the saddest look in his eyes. He was crying. He looked weak. I wanted to hate him for his weakness...I wanted to run faster than the speed of sound but nobody, no matter how much pain they're in, can run that fast.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
I slumped into her class and sat in the back of the room."Oh, class," she said. "We have a special guest today. It's Arnold Spirit. I didn't realize you still went to this school, Mr. Spirit." The classroom went quiet. They all knew my family had been living inside a grief-storm. And had this teacher just mocked me for that? "What did you just say?" I asked her. "You really shouldn't be missing class this much," she said to me. If I'd been stronger, I would have stood up to her. I would have called her names. I would have walked across the room and slapped her. But I was too broken. Instead, it was Gordy who defended me. He stood with his textbook and dropped it. Whomp! ...Gordy showed a lot of courage in standing up to a teacher like that. And his courage inspired others.
