Question

In the short story, "The Fun They Had," what evidence BEST supports Tommy's

characterization as a bad friend? *
"Tommy looked at her with very superior eyes" (2).
"Because it's not our kind of school, stupid" (2).
"If you don't like it, you don't need to read it" (3).
"He walked away whistling, the dusty old book tucked beneath his arm" (3).

Answer 1

"Because it's not our kind of school, stupid".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given excerpt is from a short story called The Fun They Had written by Isaac Asimov. The story is set sometime in the future, when children already have mechanical teachers. A boy named Tommy finds a book about old schools - the schools we have today. He tells about it to Margie. During the conversation, he tells her: "Because it's not our kind of school, stupid". This sentence contains an insult, and based on that we can conclude that Tommy is not a good friend.
