Question

Both Kenny and Rufus get unpleasant attention from other students at school. With which character do you sympathize more- Kenny or Rufus? Explain

Answer 1

I would say Kenny maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kenny turned into a bully himself if he would have gotten more pleasant attention than maybe he wouldn't have turned into bully.

Answer 2

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: Rufus

Step-by-step explanation:

In "The Watsons Go to Birmingham" (1963), by Christopher Paul Curtis, although both Kenny and Rufus get bullied at school, Kenny becomes a bully himself when he follows Larry Dunn´s mockery of Rufus being poor. Kenny does redeem himself in the ens, as he realizes that he was wrong in doing that, and, furthermore, it could be somehow understandable that he wanted someone else to be picked on instead of him. But is definitely Rufus who shows to be a better character, because he never mocks anyone and is big enough of a person to forgive Keeny and give him a second chance. That´s why I sympathize more with Rufus.
