Why will Holling never complain to his father about Mrs.Baker's treatments of him?

Check
in the "October" chapter for textual evidence regarding this question.In general,
Holling does not complain to his father, because Mr. Hoodhood is just about the least
sympathetic and/or empathetic character in Holling's life.Mr. Hoodhood simply doesn't want to
hear about Holling's problems.Holling has plenty of reasons to complain because Mrs. Baker is
making him do just about every boring and menial job possible, but Holling knows better than to
complain to his father.Holling is under direct orders from his dad to do everything possible to
make sure that Mrs. Baker doesn't hate Holling or Holling's family.The reason for this is
because Mr. Hoodhood has become one of two architects that is still being considered for the
Baker Sporting Emporium remodel.Holling doesn't complain to his dad, because Holling wants his
dad to think that everything is fine between Mrs. Baker and himself.Holling does
not want to take any of the blame if his dad doesn't get the contract.
