Paper Boy Chapter 13 - 17 Summary

Hi guys today I finished reading chapters 13 - 17 and we have to write a summary here is my summary of a few main events that have happened.
Paper Boy went to ball field and got surprised by his coach because his coach called off practice because it was to hot. (it was going to be over hundred degrees.) All week Paper boy wanted to go back to Mr Spiro's house where the walls were filled with books. Paper Boy found both Mr Spiro's and Ara T's house frightening both for different reasons. Paper Boy was afraid of Mr Spiro's house because he didn't know that he could learn everything that was in those books, in Ara T's house he was scared because Ara T had mostly stolen everything in the neighbourhood. Paper Boy threw the ball and it go stuck near the roof. Paper Boy didn't like going inside after he got sweaty so he went and got a ladder. When he was climbing up the ladder he he saw the ball near his window. He didn't like to sleep while in the heat but the breeze coming through the window felt nice. He deiced that he wanted to have a nap. Paper Boy slept for a long time because Mam woke him up to go on his paper route. The newspapers truck came late. Most of the carries took off their shirts to keep cool. He goes to pick up his paper but one of the older carries name Willie takes his papers. Paperboy tells Willie that Willie has the wrong paper. Willie starts to make fun of his stuttering problem and calls Paperboy a "Retard". Willie stands up and gets his bike and starts biking off. Paperboy grabs a rock swings his arm back and almost throws the rock right in the back of Willies head. Instead Willie turns his head around. Paper boy doesn't throw the rock and only in a few seconds Willie falls over. A new day comes and Paper boy goes home walks into his room and sees every draw open even his money draw. He goes down stairs to tell mam. Mam gets angry and walk down stairs takes off her apron and goes outside. She tells Paper Boy to walk down then street. Mam walks down the alley way Ara T usually pushes his cart around. Paper Boy waits until he cant see Mam's head anymore. He starts to run to Mam. Mam Notices him and tells him that she told him not to follow her. Paper boy doesn't listen and goes with her, Mam lets him come. The walk to a strange town there's people outside on their coaches laughing and talking to each other while drink beer. Paper Boy and Mam reach a bright red house. Ara T's cart was outside. Mam told Paper boy to sit on the inside of Ara T's cart. Paper boy listened and went inside. It smelt horrible. Mam took a while so Paper Boy deiced's to go inside. Paper boy is inside and he sees Ara T holding Mam in a choke-hold while shes against the wall. There's people near him and their all watching. A guy tries and stops Ara T by hitting him with a chair but Ara T doesn't budge. Paper boy throws glass at Ara T. Ara T tries to kill Paper Boy by snapping his neck but Mam comes around and sees paper Boys yellow handled knife and stabs him in the arm.
