Read this passage.
Even though Stanley had been wrongly accused of a
crime, "he smiled." What does this tell you about
Stanley's character?
Stanley was not a bad kid. He was innocent of the crime
for which he was convicted. He'd just been in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-
stealing-great-great-grandfather! He smiled. It was a family joke. Whenever anything went
wrong, they always blamed Stanley's no-good-dirty-
rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-gra ndfather.
