A.Hogarth is frightened but takes pity when the robot is enmeshed in wires and turns off the power so that the robot can escape. The robot turns out to be the world's best playmate, whether cannon-balling into the swimming hole or acting as a sort of amusement park ride. His origins remain mysterious, but his reaction to Hogarth's toy ray gun suggests that he may have served as a weapon of some kind. Local beatnick Dean McCoppin , lets Hogarth hide the robot in his junkyard, but government investigator Kent Mansley thinks the giant is part of a Communist plot and presses Hogarth to turn him in.

I think there are two reasons that Kent Mansley want to kill the giant.
The first reason is the giant is a kind of super weapon,its extist may threat Americans safety.What’s more,American government can do some experiments by anylzing the giant and invent some surper weapon after they kill the giant so that can improve American military power.They don’t afraid of war anymore with these super weapons.In addition,other countries may catch the giant and use him in war.This situations also threat Americans safety.
The second reason is Kent want to be a hero.After World War Two,people admired hero.He can be very famous and be respected by people because he elminates a threaten and safe people’s lives.That makes him crazy so that he want to kill the giant.

Essay questions:
A. Hogarth is a considerate and intelligent boy. When the Giant is in danger because of lack of electric power, he saves it. When the Giant feels hungry and regards train tracks as its food, Hogarth takes it to the junkyard and gives it a shelter. Hogarth also talks about souls, what happens when you die, and who you choose to be with the Giant seriously. Hogarth encounters this 'monster', takes it back, and shows hospitality to it. He helps the Giant find metal to eat, and also a safe place to stay. Gradually, Hogarth becomes the Giant’s protector. Even though at very few times Hogarth is in danger because of the Giant's defense system, he still trusts it and insists on being its friend without giving up it. I think, because of love and toleration, they can become friends.
