Please help 20 points Read the passage below:
They say Maniac Magee was born in a dump. They say his stomach was a cereal box
and his heart a sofa spring. They say he kept an eight-inch cockroach on a leash and
that rats stood guard over him while he slept. They say. Maniac Magee was not born
in a dump. He was born in a house, a pretty ordinary house, right across the river
from here, in Bridgeport. And he had regular parents, a mother and a father. But not
for long. One day his parents left him with a sitter and took the P & W high-speed
trolley into the city. On the way back home, they were on board when the P&W
had its famous crash, when the motorman was drunk and took the high trestle over
the river at sixty miles an hour, and the whole kaboodle took a swan dive into the
water. And just like that, Maniac was an orphan. He was three years old.
