family

In the novel, Franks parents want frank to be released, this is acceptable even with the circumstances, its there son and they don’t want him to be in jail for the rest of his life.
Also they don’t know the full extent of what he has done. They think he’s in there for assault, not sexual assault and murder. I think parents should always defend their children because its there family no matter what they do, right or wrong. Frank should have someone on his side, he put his life on the line in the war for people, someone should have some kind of sympathy for him.

violence

I think as a society we do take violence too seriously. We do take violent acts very seriously now a days throughout school and throught the law. I think we do kind of have to understand violence happens sometimes cause we've solved things that way for thousands of years. for example almost every violent thing that happens if it is solved by the law its ussually up to a year in jail and more for the offender. This relates to why he could easily shoot frank because he has the mind frame that he can handle his conscience taking someone elses life.

Journal Entry

I beilive that it is never ok to betray someone unless they betrayed you first and they deserve it. I would never betray one of my freinds or family cause i would never want them to betray my trust cause theyre the ones that your supposed to be able to trust the most. If everyone betrayed everyone else there would never be any trust in the world and the world wouldnt go very smooth.

Expectations

My expectations of my family is too not fail any classes and do good in school and get through high school or go to a trade school. Also, i cannot get any detentions or get in any trouble because i was bad last year and i dont want last year to be like this year.I feel as thought i can easily live up to them cause i am smart and i know i can pass high school if i do all my homework. i want to live up to them so i can make her happy and i want to also because all my sisters graduated and i dont want to be the only one who doesnt.
