Pages 30-68 Liesl

During these pages of the book I learned more about Mr Pignati, who Lorraine and John call the Pigman. The call him these because he has a room full of fake pigs, glass, clay, and marble. The pigman seems very caring and nice, but he talks about his wife a lot, and how she's been in California for a little over a month. Lorraine and John both think that she left her, and I do too. Since Lorraine and John think this, it makes them feel bad for The Pigman, especially Lorraine. She didn't want to take the 10 dollars from him that came from a prank call from Lorraine saying she was part of the J and L fund, and they were collecting donations. When they went to collect the money, The Pigman talked about how he loves the zoo and he walks there every day. Lorraine and John decide to go to the zoo with him, and while they're there, the find out how lonely The Pigman really is. Mr. Pignati spent most of his time throwing peanuts at a baboon he named BoBo. Also while they were there, Lorraine wanted to leave the whole time, and she used omens to back her up. The first one was when she told the peanut lady that she wanted four bags of peanuts, and then the lady asked her how many bags she wanted. Lorraine knew that she hated kids from this, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Then she was corned by a peacock and then she was stared down by a kid looking through glass, and this made her very uncomfortable. It made her feel like she was being watched, just like the animals.
