This is going to be the summary of chapter 7,

  Jack's mother, Ms. Gantos, told Jack to go get dressed because she was taking him out to get some fresh air. She brought him to the doctor, Dr. Mertz. She wanted to go the doctor to check Jack's nose because he had a lot of nose bleeds recently (he gets nose bleed when he's excited). She wanted the doctor to fix this problem but unfortunately she didn't have enough money so they went back home. On the way she told him how the people in Norvelt are poor and that she was going to save money to get Jack's nose fixed.

 This chapter wasn't very fun. It was probably just there so after in the other chapters it will make sense and they will explain how she saves up the money.
