Problem: Greg and his mother were building a racing car. They were going to enter it into a race on Saturday. They began building the racing car on Monday. First, they had to build the body of the car. Greg wanted it to look like a strawberry! So they colored it red and put little dots all over it. On Tuesday, Greg's father helped them put the wheels on the racing car. His mother had to hold the car's body up when his father put the wheels on. On Wednesday, Greg and his mother colored in the number 8 on the car. This was Greg's lucky number! On Thursday, Greg and his mother tested the racing car at a park near the river. It went really fast! On Friday, Greg and his mother and father were outside in their backyard, still practicing with the racing car, making sure it went as fast as it could. Greg really wanted to win the race! On Saturday, Greg and his mother went to the race. It was being held on the track at his school. They put their racing car on the track, and a man started to count down from 10. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, GO! Greg pushed his car forward as fast as he could! It reached the finish line before everyone else! Greg won the race!

Q: (CNN) -- While several high-profile actors and directors have rallied around Roman Polanski, not everyone in Hollywood believes he should be freed and forgiven. 

The case surrounding the arrest of director Roman Polanski has both supporters and critics. 

In the face of a petition signed by notables such as Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and John Landis calling for the immediate release of Polanski following his detainment in Switzerland, a backlash is building against such support. 

"I can't believe that Hollywood has separated itself so completely from American morality," said Paul Petersen, a former child actor and president of A Minor Consideration, which advocates on behalf of young performers. "It is yet another case of Hollywood being out of sync with most of America." 

Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, but fled the United States before he could be sentenced. 

In the years since, the director known for "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby" settled in France and avoided authorities until he was arrested Saturday while on his way to the Zurich Film Festival. 

In the aftermath of Polanski's arrest last weekend, a number of performers -- including Penelope Cruz, Tilda Swinton and Monica Bellucci -- appear as supporters on a petition which states, "Roman Polanski is a French citizen, a renown and international artist now facing extradition. This extradition, if it takes place, will be heavy in consequences and will take away his freedom." 

Polanski's detention has stirred debate over whether he should be returned to the United States to face possible imprisonment. 

Answer the following questions:
1. Did Polanski stick around to be sentenced?
2. What did he do instead?
3. What had he pleaded?
4. When?
5. Did he do something naughty with an animal?
6. Who, then?
