After he gets back from his mother's East toddler and stronger from rowing the boat that he bought. Towards the end of the book installing strong from cropping and helping the Tillerman's with farming.

b: in the first part of the novel Jeff all does is make breakfast one morning and goes to school and one comes back and makes dinner and does the dishes in the middle of the boat after he goes to melodies for the summer does the same things usually does makes breakfast goes to school comes back makes dinner does chores but instead of doing homework or going to sleep the might play his guitar and then do his homework or go to sleep. At the end of the book Jeff does everything did in the past but at the end of school he might go to his friends help out the Tillerman's or go crabing.

A metaphor that Voigt uses to explain Jeff's emotions is (Voigt 106) "in his chest and stomach pain that wasn't even real as if he had been broken into thousands of different little pieces." voigt uses this metaphor right after jeff goes to melody's for the second ime right after he realizes that she doesen't love him
