    I think he go his name because he was playing mean jokes on people. An example of one of the mean jokes was he tied the lord's and ladies wigs to their chairs. When they stood up their wigs fell off and they were very upset. Also he was mean to the whipping boy. He was mad that when they whipped/hit the whipping boy he didn't bawl or cry. The prince was such a brat that a black cat wouldn't even cross his path.

    They gave prince Brat his name because he played dirty tricks on people. When prince Brat tied the wigs to their chairs they fell off when they stood up. Prince Brat can not be whipped so he has a whipping boy. When the whipping boy gets whipped prince Brat acts like he is sorry. That night prince Brat asks why the whipping boy does not cry or bawl.

  4. #27 The prince was given the nickname, Prince Bratt because of his pranks he pulled on people. One of the many tricks he did was tied the people's wigs to their chairs. So when the king proposed a toast, their wigs flew right off their very heads. The prince can't be whipped or get hit because he's a prince. Instead there is a boy who gets punish for him. He's called the Whipping Boy. however, the prince dosen't like him because the whipping boy does not cry when he gets hit.

    Prince Brat is very naughty, in chapter 1 he glued the lords and ladies wigs to their seats so when they stood up their wigs would go flying and they would get really mad. Prince brat probably got is name by pulling all those mean jokes he played on people. Prince Brat was so mean a black cat wouldn't even cross his path. Prince Brat also had a whipping boy named Jemmy because a prince can never be whipped/spanked. Once he pulled the wigs off the lords and ladies the whipping boy got whipped 20 times,but the whipping boy did not cry or bawl because he was very brave. Price Brat was mad mad mad, he said to Jemmy you must bawl or cry. Jemmy probably did not bawl because he had just been living on the streets and it was torture all over again.!!!!!!!

    I think he has that nickname because he is naughty.Also because no one was allowed to hurt him.A nother reason why is because he said Jemmy was the worst ''Whiping Boy'' he had.Finally,he said he was going tothrowJemmy back to the street.

  11. #3 I think he has that nickname because he is being bad. He Made the Wings fly in the air and everyone went like turkeys without heads. Also he said Jemmy (aka) "The Whipping Boy" was the worst because he didn't mind getting whipped and Prince Brat didn't get a lesson if Jemmy didn't howl and moan

    The reason why is because he is such a brat. Prince Brat pulled a prank on this couple and caused a boy to get hurt. The whipping boy does not cry when he gets whipped. Prince Brat went to the whipping boy and said why don't you cry when you get whipped? The whipping boy explained why he does not feel pain. The whipping boy puts his teeth together real tight.

    They call him Prince Brat because he could not be spanked and if he makes a mistake the whipping boy gets blamed for his mistake. He is a brat because he gets away with naughty things that he does. Prince Brat gets angry because whenever the whipping boy gets spanked he never cries. He does bad things like pranking people and makes mean jokes to hurt other people. The whipping boy always gets hit if Prince Brat does something bad and gets in trouble by his dad the King.

    They call Prince Brat by his nickname because he loves to laugh and prank people. The king was holding a grand feast so Prince Brat pranked the guest by tying their wigs to their chairs. He couldn't stop laughing when they stood up and their wigs came off. Prince Brat never learns his lesson because the whipping always gets in trouble for it. Prince Brat wants to hear the whipping boy yelp and bellow but he never does.

    Prince Brat is a naughty, selfish brat. He is a naughty boy because he wants the Whipping boy to cry and ball his eyes out. He's also selfish because he does not care about anyone else, like the Whipping boy. Also he's a brat because he loves getting in trouble so he can whip the Whipping boy. I bet he got his name by being a selfish and spoiled brat. He always gets what he wants, and is simply spoiled. I think that it's sad that he loves seeing the Whipping boy getting whipped.

    I think Prince Brat got his nickname because he was always a brat, annoying, and obnoxious. Prince Brat thinks he is always better than people. One example of Prince Brat being a brat is that he pulled a prank on the women and gentlemen when they were siting down, he pulled their wigs off. Then the whipping boy got 20 whacks because the prince was not allowed to get whacked. That is why he got his nickname.

  19. #15 I think how he got his name because he is always a brat and will disapoint the king.He will tie the ladies powdered wigs to the chairs and they will come off.When Prince brat does something mean there is a whipping boy,but Prince brat won't get whipped because a Prince can't get hit or whipped.I think that he will just keep on doing it because he won't get whipped.He will get punished because after he keeps on doing it he will sometime get whipped.

  20. #4 I think he got his name because he is such a brat.He thinks he's the king of all kings.Another reason he's a brat is because he always pranks people like crazy.He also spanks people if he dose something wrong.Every time he spanks the whipping boy he makes him feel ashamed and gets mad at him.The prince never learns his lessons.That's how Prince Brat got his name.

  22. #16 I think the young prince got his nickname because, 1. he would not even let black cats cross his path. 2. One night the king was holding the feast. The prince was sneaking around behind the lords and ladies, Prince Brat tied their powdered wigs to the back of their oak chairs. Then he hid behind a footman to wait. When the guest stood up to toast the king, their wigs came flying off.

  23. #8 The thesis statement is that sentence or two in your text that contains the focus of your essay and tells your reader what the essay is going to be about. Although it is certainly possible to write a good essay without a thesis statement (many narrative essays, for example, contain only an implied thesis statement), the lack of a thesis statement may well be a symptom of an essay beset by a lack of focus. Many writers think of a thesis statement as an umbrella: everything that you carry along in your essay has to fit under this umbrella, and if you try to take on packages that don't fit, you will either have to get a bigger umbrella or something's going to get wet.
