Tod believes that Ben refuses to let others help build the barn because he has too much pride. What is the real reason that Ben doesn't want anyone else to help build the barn?
Ben doesn't want any help because he believes that the barn is a gift for Father, and he wants to make the gift himself. He also thinks it will not cure Father if someone else helps.
Will, I agree with you. I think pretty much the same thing, but is Ben really building the barn by himself? I think he is building the barn with Nettie and Harrison's help.
Tod believes Ben has too much pride but I think the real reason is that Ben thinks that having only the ones who are closest to Father build it so he might get better. If too many people come to help then Bens father might not get better because he might think that Ben and all the neighbors are just doing it for the fun of it. I think Father won't know how much Ben, Harrison and Nettie mean for this barn to get finished so father might be able to get well again.
The real reason is that Ben doesn't want anyone to helping out with the barn is that he doesn't want people knowing how weak he is.That was coming from the book
The real reason Ben doesn't want anybody else helping him out with the Barn is that he doesn't want people to know how weak he is. It says right in the book “I never did tell Harrison and Nettie I needed that maul lest they think less of me.” He doesn't want to let them think that he is any different then them. He thinks that he is just like them and if they see the real way he is building the barn they might think otherwise.
I think that Ben dose not want anyone to help build the barn because he wants to do it his self because he thinks that it will get father a lot better and get like no sickness.
I think that the real reason that Ben didn’t want any help was so that they could prove to Father that they did have pride and he also wanted to prove himself to Father so he would think he was the same.
I believe that Ben does not want Tod to help build the barn because: then it might make Ben feel that if Tod helps, he will do a lot of the work; and that might make Ben feel as if Father would think less of him because he wasn't building the barn.
I think why Ben does not want help is because he thinks that the only way to cure father is if they him, Nettie, and Harrison do it by themselves. He thinks that if anyone else makes the barn father will not get better.
Tod believes that Ben won’t let anyone help build they barn because he has too much pride but the real reason is the barn is a gift to father to make him feel better so he wants it to be just him,Harrison ,and Nettie.
The real reason Ben doesn’t want anyone helping with the construction on the barn besides Harrison and Nettie because Ben believes that the barn will make father better but if other people help it won't have as much meaning to him and that will cause him to stay sick.
I think that Ben is not full of pride and that the reason he will not let anyone help him build the barn ( besides Nettie and Harrison ) is because he feels like only his family can do this for Father. I think think that he aware that people think he is stuck up and he doesn't care.
Ben doesn’t want anyone to help them build the barn because it is a present for Father for him to get better so if anyone else helps it will not be as special.
Ben doesn't want any help because he thinks that he has more pride in doing it on his own because its manly a gift and if someone else help he figures he wont cure father.
Why Ben doesn’t want anybody to help them is he thinks its just not a barn but it is a gift from Ben, Harrison, and Nettie to hope that Father will get better, and it says in the book. and it says “By then I found my answer.” “It isn’t just a barn,” I said “it’s a gift.
The reason why Ben won’t let anyone else help is because father is dying and he wants a new barn. So it’s kinda like a gift that says nice knowing you goodbye.
I think the real reason why Ben won’t help any other people help is because sense it is Ben’s father and his siblings father too and now one else's father and so Ben wants the barn to be a present from him and his siblings only and not from any one else and that is what I think why Ben told Tod Buckman no that he could not help build the barn.
The reason why ben won’t let anyone else help is because father is dying and he wants a new barn. So it’s kinda like a gift that says nice knowing you goodbye.
I agree with you Will because I think it is like a gift for Father but I don't think it was goodbye gift, it was to make Father better Ben thought not a goodbye gift.
I think that Ben doesn't want Tod to help is because he thinks of it as a gift to cure father. He doesn't want Tod to help because they are afraid that it won't cure father, and they think that they can do it themselves.
I think you are right Will because Ben does want the Barn to be a present from him and his siblings and if Ben lest anyone else help it will not secure his father since it is not anyone else’s father it is only Ben’s and his siblings father only.
