“Is there any boy in this class who thinks he's perfect? If so, raise your hands. Is there any boy here now who has money galore to be spending on shoes? Raise your hands. No. There are boys in this class who have no shoes at all and it's not their fault. It's not their shame. Our lord died shoeless! You don't see our lord hanging on the cross sporting shoes! Do you boys?”
Frank is ashamed of his shoes that his father tried to repair by cutting up a bicycle tire to cobble it, so he has taken them off, tossed it and is sitting in class barefooted, only to be forced to put the shoes back on
