`The Homework Machine Chapter 3: A Summary and Analysis`
`Chapter 3 of The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman introduces the four main characters of the story: Brenton, Sam, Judy and Kelsey. They are all fifth-graders who attend the same school and have very different personalities and backgrounds. Brenton is a genius who has invented a homework machine that can do any assignment for him. Sam is a class clown who hates homework and loves jokes. Judy is a teacher's pet who always gets good grades and follows the rules. Kelsey is a slacker who doesn't care about anything and has a troubled home life.`
`The chapter begins with Brenton telling Sam about his homework machine, which he calls Belch. Sam is skeptical at first, but Brenton convinces him to try it out by giving him a math problem. Sam types in the problem on Brenton's computer and Belch prints out the answer. Sam is amazed and asks Brenton if he can use Belch for his homework too. Brenton agrees, but only if Sam keeps it a secret.`
`Meanwhile, Judy and Kelsey are walking home from school together. Judy notices that Kelsey always wears the same clothes and never talks about her family. She tries to be friendly with Kelsey, but Kelsey is rude and distant. Judy wonders why Kelsey is so unhappy and what she can do to help her.`
`The next day, Sam goes to Brenton's house after school to use Belch for his homework. He is surprised to see Judy and Kelsey there too. Brenton explains that he invited them over because they are in the same class and they have the same homework. He also tells them that Belch can do any kind of homework, not just math. He demonstrates by typing in a question about the American Revolution and Belch prints out a paragraph with the answer.`
`Judy and Kelsey are both shocked and intrigued by Belch. They agree to use it for their homework too, but only if they keep it a secret from everyone else. Brenton makes them promise not to tell anyone about Belch or his invention. He also warns them that Belch is not perfect and sometimes makes mistakes. He says that they should always check Belch's answers before handing in their homework.`
`The four kids form an unlikely friendship based on their shared secret. They start calling themselves the D Squad, because they all have last names that start with D: Damico, Dawkins, Dunne and Desimone. They also start spending more time together at Brenton's house, doing their homework with Belch and talking about their lives.`
`The chapter ends with a cliffhanger, as someone knocks on Brenton's door while they are using Belch. The kids wonder who it could be and what they will do if they get caught.`
`This chapter sets up the main conflict of the story: the ethical dilemma of using a homework machine to cheat on schoolwork. It also introduces the characters' personalities, backgrounds and motivations, which will influence their actions and decisions throughout the story. The chapter also creates suspense by ending with a mystery: who is at the door and what will happen next?` a474f39169
