ReplyDelete1) I don't like Scott because he is a bad influence because he is just in grade 8 and he is already smoking and that is very bad for your health. Scott has gotten Sean into lots of trouble in grade 7 but Sean still likes to hang out with him because they have been friends for a long time. This year Scott started to do much more worse things than getting Sean in trouble. He started to smoke and got a lip perching. If Sean continues to hang out with him he might start doing bad things to ( like smoking) and then he would get in trouble and then because of that he won't make the basketball team.

ReplyDelete#1: No, I do not like Scott. I do not appreciate the way he behaves around Sean. The reason why I do not like Scott, is beacause of his actions. Scott is an irresponsible and a character who is not a good influence on others. He always got Sean into trouble and he is making himself getting in trouble on purpose. On top of that, he smokes and he has a tounge ring! How does anybody's parents allow that? Especially in grade 8. I met people that are not allowed peirce their own ears! How can people get a tounge peircing? Also, Scott is at least 12-13 years old. Considering the fact that it is currently September. However, this kid got into smoking! How is it possible for his parents to be unable to identify the cigarette packet that he has? He is obviously telling me that he is not a very responsible friend to Sean. That is why I do not like Scott very much. He's not responsible, doesn't look after Sean very well as a friend, and the fact that he's a bad influence and person in general.
ReplyDelete1.) I do not like Scott because he is a bad influence on people. He will drag you down the bus . Scott probably just had a lot of non sense in his life. I don't like Scott because he will make you do crazy things. For example Scott had gotten Sean into a lot of trouble when they were in grade 7. They were both close to suspension because of their behaviour . In the text it had mentioned that Sean only accepted Scott as a friend because he was the first one to welcome him to their school. Additionally he had allowed Sean to sit with him and his friends at lunch.
ReplyDeleteFurther more I do not like Scott because he smokes . Scott is only in grade 8 and he starts to smoke. He doesn't care about his health. All he wants is to fell tough. Also, Scott has a tough piercing. Out of all places he has puts it in his tough. This is why Scott is not one of the brighter students. Scott is a bully he gets into many fights. Scott also has a temper problem he can mad quick. He is a dangerous boy!
Is it simply the fact that he has a tounge piercing smokes and the fact that he is a hot head full of ridicule or is there more to it?
Delete1.) I don't like Scott because he is breaking the school rules by smoking in the front of the schoolyard and he is not even scared that he could get caught by a teacher or someone else. He is a bad influence for Sean because Sean is trying to stop getting in trouble but unlike Scott he doesn't really care about suspension and expels. If Sean hangs out with Scott all the time he could start smoking and have a piercing which will make him in trouble. Sean I string to get out of being in trouble but Scott just doesn't care about his punishments. Part of being a friend is to listen to each other so no one gets in trouble but Scott is not a good friend to Sean because of his actions and his behaviour.

ReplyDelete2) If someone like Scott was in my school I would stop hanging out with him as soon as he would show me that he smokes or got lip piercing . Even though Scott is popular in school I still wouldn't hang out with him because he is a bad influence and he is only in grade 8. If I hung out with him I would have gotten in lots of trouble and maybe even a suspension. And if did get in that many detentions or suspensions and since smoking is involved I could also get expelled. I would have never been able to join any clubs or teams or anything because they won't trust me enough to be able to join. Plus if that happened that could affect my whole school journey because then I won't get in a good high school or a good university since i got expelled or suspended in middle school. That would mean I would bet a bad job . So if someone like Scott was in my school I wouldn't hang out with him
1. In my opinion, I don't like Scott at all because, Scott is only in grade 8 and he started smoking also I don't like Scott because Scott is a bad influence for Sean and if I were Sean I wouldn't want to hang out with a guy who smokes and who gets In trouble a lot. For example if I were Sean I would stay away from Scott considering that he is a bad kid and that he does really bad actions in his life (e.g. Smoking, tongue piercing, etc.)

ReplyDelete1. I have to say I don't hate Scott, he's an ok for me, Scott May be smoking and has a tounge piercing but I think that Scott just needs good influence from his friends and family, they should influence him to do better, not the worst in himself. He just needs someone to give him that big push and ring the bell in his head, I also think that his character will develop throughout the book, he's going to build more responsibility in his character, I'm pretty sure he's not gonna stay a bad kid for the whole in tire book, Scott may not be such a good influence right now, but he has a good side, a soft side! In my opinion, something will change Scott, but you can't just judge from the start of what he did.
To be honest I don't think Scott really understands, he needs someone to sit and talk smith him, and explain and I'm mostly talking about his parents! I wonder what they think?!
Scott just has to build up his character he really isn't a bad kid.
I don't like Scott because he is always getting in trouble and he starts SMOKING in grade 8 like it wouldn't mater to much if he was 30 and smoking but 13 and smoking that's not right he has piercings and even Sean's mother said he is a bad influence.If Scott was more influenced not to do these stuff than you could call him a friend.For example if you were influenced by a friend that was smoking than that's it you would waste you whole life smoking and it wouldn't be a long life either. If I was even near someone that smokes it would cause vagina same problems that it causes totem to me and I would get yelled at from my family if I get heart canter because they would thing I'm smoking which can't get any worse, last thing you want when you die is for your family to think it's your fault that it happens
ReplyDeletewhy are you using inappropriate words (8th line)
DeleteFirst of all, removing one smoker would not really do a change in our community. Its 1 out of the thousands of people who smoke. Also there are many spelling mistakes that are noticeable in this. Fix the spelling mistakes and I think it would be just fine.
Delete1) I don't like Scott because, in my opinion he is a bad influence for Sean. To some extent, Sean looks up to Scott as his role model, especially in grade 7. They both got in trouble, and Scott ruined Sean's reputation within the staff members of his school. As we saw in the first chapter, even though mr. Mcculley saw nothing except for David and Sean rolling on the ground, he assumed it was Sean who started the fight, due to his previous actions, which were provoked by Scott. If Sean had had a cleaner record and had not gotten in so much trouble he might have gotten the benefit of the doubt.
ReplyDeleteAlso Scott, is doing things that, in my opinion, are age inappropriate. 13 and 14 year olds should not be smoking, and getting tongue piercings. I don't know how grade 8 parents can allow. Scott might even get Sean to try a cigarette in the future. Friends can give In to peer pressure.
Scott is also very irresponsible, he basically wants to get in trouble. I've seen troublemakers and class clowns, but never met a person who wants to get in trouble. That's like saying you want to fail math or English. He thinks he's cool, by getting in trouble, but in my opinion that just makes you stupid.
Sorry indents are not being shown when I copied and pasted
Delete1.) Do I like Scott? He doesn't have the best personality but I guess he's alright. I won't say I like him but I also wouldn't say I detest him since I don't know him enough to feel that way towards him. He's sort of funny but I don't like him because first of all, he smokes. Please tell me who smokes in 8th grade? And he has tongue piercings. I mean, that's kinda cool that he has a rebellious edge in his personality but sometimes it can lead to disasters. Also, he's got into a lot of fights with people and are probably not that nice to the seveners and I don't like people who cause fights and problems .I would say that I don't like him.
ReplyDelete2.) Would I hang out with Scott? Yeah if I want to do something that will get me in trouble and is completely, and utterly, stupid and probably dangerous. I would steer clear of Scott so I don't get into any trouble with anyone, and avoid him . Scott is known for getting into fights , and I wouldn't want to get into a fight with him, and maybe he'll force me to do something that I don't approve of if I hang out with him. According to Sean he really isn't a bad person so if his personality gets better, I might change my mind about him. For now , I don't think I want to hang out with him.
3.) I predict that Scott will be disappointed that Sean is hanging out with David more than he pleases but once he gets to know him, they'll all be great friends . Throughout 8th grade I think that Sean may not make the basketball team and Scott will so Sean is going to be jealous of Scott and David will make the team as well, and they'll be better friends than they were before and they'll forget about Sean. I also predict that there will be a problem with the team later , maybe a injury and they'll replace that kid with Sean.
ReplyDelete1)
I personally do not like Scott's character because he is a really bad influence. For example, Sean was a really good student before he came to his new school and started hanging out with Scott. He started getting into so much trouble that one person (Scott) changed him completely. Scott is an eighth grader who smokes, got a tongue piercing, and always wants to get into trouble or make someone feel bad about themselves.
Scott now wants to cause some trouble with Sean because they are in eighth grade, the oldest kids in school who apparently get to do whatever they want and can push the seventh graders around. That basically being prejudice when it come to age because thinking that you are so superior just because your now one of the oldest kids is not fair. You can't be thinking that you can rule people, which is what Scott thinks of himself. Therefore, I personally do not like Scott.
1.) No, I don't like Scott because he thinks he is "cool" and he's grown up, just because he has this tongue piercings (he's too young- like 13 years old- so how does he have a tongue piercing!) and now he smokes. I don't like him because he's under drug abuse. That's not a laughing matter. I don't like him because of that. In my personal opinion, he's too young to be under the influence of theses harmful substances and I think that he is a bad influence to everyone else in the school. It's just disgusting that teenagers start doing these harmful things to make themselves look "cool" when they should be focusing on getting an education. To be honest, it's not helping anyone. Not him nor his "so-called friends" which he plans to make by harming himself. And, he's trying to make Sean get into trouble after he promised himself last year that he would try and get into trouble less often, if not at all. To be honest, what kind of friend does that? Friends are supposed to guide you off the wrong path, not convince you to be in more trouble with them! And with Scott, he's doing it on purpose!!

ReplyDeleteI personally don't like Shawn. I think Shawn is a bad influence and encourages his friends to smoke with him. Which is bad because people might get influenced to smoke with him. I think Shawn is a bad role model to younger people because of his actions. In the book Scott kept trying to encourage Sean to just try one cigarette, if he did he might've been addicted. Some people are very sensitive and might've took the cigarette under peer pressure which would be very unhealthy at that age and would've changed their lives
ReplyDeletethe question asked about Scott not Sean
DeleteI do not like Scott because I think he is a bad influence on Sean. He can get Sean suspended even though Sean is trying to stay out of trouble. Also he wants Sean
ReplyDeleteTo start smoking and that also is not good. Also Sean said in the book that his parents
We're very disappointed in him. If he got suspend his mother and father would be even
More disappointed.
No I would not hang out with some one like Scott. The reason is because I don't want to get in to his or her problem. I might get in trouble because of hanging out with someone like him. And if my parents new I was getting in trouble they would be very disappointed in me.
That would make me feel so careless and ashamed of my self. So that is the reason I would
Not hang out with someone like Scott.
In my opinion I think Sean is going to stay out of trouble. I also think that Scott will
Get mad at Sean because he does not want to hangout. And Scott is jealous of dived because Sean and him are friends. That is what I think is going to happen during the
Grade 8.
No, I don't like Scott. It is because he has plenty of bad habits like smoking. He's in grade 8 and he is not the age to smoke and he still does. He has also been in trouble many times for doing things like talking back to the teacher, getting involved in fights and arguments and for skipping classes. He is a bad influence and a spoiled troublemaker. He also has a piercing. All in all, I do not like Scott.
ReplyDelete1- I do not really like Scott. His personality is the reason why I do not like him. His personality shows that he is sort of like a rebel or someone who would break the rules often. So it would most likely lead to trouble. Also another reason why I do not like Scott is because of the way he appears. He smokes and has piercings in which I do not like. It shows a lot if you do that and what he is showing off is that he is a sort of bad person. Another reason of why I do not like Scott is because of his attitude. He sets a bad impression on himself but I do not know why Sean still hangs out with him. He is a bad person. Considering he is in grade 8 and he smokes, he sets off bad impressions to those grade 7s.
ReplyDelete2- No I would not hang out with a person like Scott. I would not hang out with a person completely different from me. Also because he can set a bad influence on you. As shown in text he was trying to make his friend Sean smoke a cigar. As they are only in grade 8 it is really bad for your health to smoke like that. Another thing in which I would not hang out with Scott is trust issues. I do not think that Scott is a trustworthy person according to his appearance. Smoking, piercing, and his attitude.
3- What I think will happen is Sean would end up ditching Scott for David. As shown in the text even though Sean does not like David he is slowly gaining more trust in him. As Scott sets a bad impression, Sean would also probably leave him for that reason. Smoking?! Piercing?! Why would someone hang out with someone like that! In the text it says that Sean was surprised to see for the fact that Scott was smoking and that he had a piercing. That means Sean did not smoke or have a piercing in grade 7. So they would be friends from before. But after seeing that, I would have left him right away. Another thing a part of the text, it shows that Scott tried to make Sean smoke. Several times too. He knows it's bad for his health, but he tries to get others to smoke too.
2) I would never hang out with someone like Scott. In my opinion, Scott is a terrible influence, to everybody around him. He is like a magnet; he literally attracts trouble, every step of the way. We already know he has gotten Sean in trouble many times, over the past year. I pride myself on being a well-behaved student, most of the time. If I wanted to get in a fight, smoke, get my tongue pierced and get sent to the principal all in one day, then yes I would hang out with Scott. Otherwise, No way!
ReplyDeleteScott has a tongue piercing and smokes daily. I, honestly, detest people who choose to smoke. There is literally no point to smoking. It is just a waste of time, money and good health. I would like to avoid second-hand smoking, unless absolutely necessary. As for the tongue piercing, I think that is not an appropriate way of expressing yourself, if your 13 or 14 years old. Grade 7’s may think that it is cool to get a piercing, and make an attempt to get one themselves.
In conclusion, I think Scott would not make a good friend, or a smart person to hang out. If you pride yourself on being well behaved and good student, it would not be wise to hang out with Scott. Getting caught smoking or fighting could also severely hurt your chances at achieving the honor roll or other awards in your school.
#2: ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!! I would definatly not hang out with someone like Scott! His characteristics are just a recipe for disaster! The way Scott reacts to important things are just ridicules. When Sean asked Scott if he wanted to come inside the school and get ready for class on time, he refused and pulled out another cigarette, lit it, and started smoking again. The way he reacts to Sean being a "Goody Two Shoes" or as I reffer as, a smart and resposible student, isthat he is upset that Sean has now found a better path for himself. Scott is overall way too Rebelious and a risky student for anybody like Sean or me to hang out with. My personality is nice, generous, helpful and fun. I no when's my limmit and I will be obediant towards the person that I must listen to. If I were to hang out with Sean, we would definatly not get along with eachother very well.
ReplyDeletei think you mean " If I were to hang out with SCOTT, we would definitely not get along with each other very well." in the last sentence.
Deletealso, there are alot of spelling mistakes, you may want to improve
DeleteThak you for the feedback, I did get Sean and Scott's names mixed groups.
DeleteYes I would because I would try to change there based habits which removes 1 more smoker from this world which is doing good for the community. On the other hand if he doesn't change. His bad habits than I would stop being his friend because I can't do anything and if I was hanging out with him for much longer than I would be risking my own life for nothing. If I have lung problem and the doctor said there I inhaled smoke than my family would assume I was smoking at a young age and if I die from it than the last thing I want is for my parents to think that I was turning out bad and I don't want to die for nothing especially not negative. Imagine. If you were blame and receive the same consequences as a smoker even though you didn't even touch a segarret, not fair. Scott just need to change the smoking and the tounge piercing and he wouldn't be bad he would be way better to hang out with than know.
ReplyDelete#2
Deleteif Scott stops smoking and removes his piercing, that doesn't automatically make him a better person. in grade 7, he didn't smoke or have a tongue piercing, but was still a troublemaker.
DeleteHassan's right, his personality was very much in monotone from grade 7 to grade 8. Does that mean you would hang out with him in grade 7?
Delete2.) I would never hangout out with a person like Scott because it is against my culture to smoke but can only have a piercing on our ears. Also Scott is a bad influence because even though he is popular in his school he is also making others get in trouble for example Sean. In my opinion I think that hanging out with Scott is a really bad idea and if you want to get in trouble each and everyday you should hang out with him, but if you are a well behaved student you should know that the path Scott will show it harm your future and if you go the other way it is better for you. Scott's attitude is also not good. He should learn to listen to others and how to talk politely and also know when he could get in trouble so he should watch his actions.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't say he was popular in school
DeleteKisho's right. The text never said that Scott was popular in school. However what you could of said that he was a kid trying to look cool, but in reality he barly has anyone.

ReplyDeleteAs grade 8 goes they would go there separate. Ways Sean would hang out with David and try out for the basketball team and Scott would continue to get worse and worse. I say this because Sean and David shares a love in basketball and Sean clearly said that he didn't want to get in trouble because of the basketball season atleast unfilled the season is over, with all the fuss about basketball you can easily tell that Sean really loved basketball and would do anything to get in the team. Scott was a bad influence on Sean even sean's mom didn't want him to play with Scott and as this keeps going on Sean and Scott will hang out less and less until they don't hang out with each other at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm also saying this because of my point of view on the topic and my responses on question 1 and 2 Scott is a smoker and nobody wants to be beside someone that threatens your life what I mean by that is if you near a smoker its like being a smoker only smoking less but still smoking what I mean by that is that you will gain the same consequences for smoking even though you didn't smoke which leads you to a bad life and a bad future. It's basically throwing your life away but even worse with everyone raging at you.
The indents didn't show because I copied and pasted

Delete3) As the grade 8 year goes on I predict that a number of things will occur, between Sean and Scott. For starters, I think that Sean will have an important choice to make. He can either play on the basketball team or risk getting in trouble with Scott. I don’t think that this will be a forced choice; I think that Sean will willingly stop hanging out with Scott. Sean knows the more he hangs out with Scott, the higher the risk of him getting another meeting with Mr. McCulley, and being kicked off the basketball team, no matter how good he is.
ReplyDeleteThere was a boy in my class last year (I prefer not to mention names); he was on the basketball team. He was an exceptional shooter and all-around player. Might have even been the best on the team. But all it took to get him off the team for good was a complaint by his teacher that his assigned work was not being completed. This goes to show, no matter how good you are, a brush with the authority can result in severe consequences. I think Sean will think along some of the same lines.
I think that Sean will make the school basketball team and excel on it. David will also try out, but be disappointed to find out he did not make it. Sean will ditch Scott, for reasons previously mentioned. As the story goes on Sean and David’s friendship will improve and they will grow into being buddies. I don’t think David’s injury is permanent, just temporary. He might be out of the wheelchair by the end of the book, and be inserted onto the basketball as a replacement or substitute.
*onto the basketball team( 2nd last sentence)
DeleteHang out with Scott. Hmmm..... Lets see.... Umm.... Of course I definitely would NOT hang out with Scott. Scott is a irresponsible, rude and cruel child who doesn't care about what is going to happen to him in the future. For example, if Scott continues to skip class and get into trouble, then he will most likely fail grade eight, he won't get into a good high school, and then he won't have a career to depend on. Then where would he be? Wishing he hadn't done everything he did do in grade eight. I wouldn't want my life to turn out like that. I think that Sean shouldn't hang out with Scott either especially during basketball season because if Scott wants to stay away from trouble, he should stay away from Scott because Scott is the definition of trouble. If I were Sean I would.
ReplyDelete2.) No, I would never hang out with
ReplyDeletesomeone like Scott because I'm a person who likes to concentrate on my education rather then going on the wrong path through smoking and doing ridiculously dangerous things he shouldn't be doing and compromising his education. Personally, I don't think it's cool in anyway that a teenager like Scott is smoking underaged and getting all these piercings- and, another reason I wouldn't hang out with a person like Scott is because I could get suspended with him for the actions HE DOES and that's not a laughing matter either because- what he's doing is illegal and I really wouldn't want to hang out with someone who does illegal things which can get him in trouble with the law.. It can really affect him in the future.
And, that will eventually affect his future in a bad way, unless he realizes the foolish and highly dangerous things he's doing and changes his ways. We probably can determine that Scott is that person who skips classes, smokes and, does other bad things that he shouldn't be doing- and he can get in big trouble, I also wouldn't be hanging out with Scott because as we read in the book, we can see that that Scott was trying to purposely get Sean in trouble and he succeeded, so that's why I wouldn't hang out with Scott because he might try to get me in trouble on purpose and, he's a very, very, very bad influence to Sean and if I were to hang out with him- he will be a bad influence to me too, because as a teenager I know peer pressure exists.
I think that Sean and Scott are going to stop hanging out and Sean will probably become Davids best friend because now, Sean is hanging out with David in school and after school to practice for basketball tryouts. But Sean barely sees Scott now which makes me believe that Scott and Sean are no longer going to be friends. This will probably make Scott jealous.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand Sean probably wont really care because about what is going on with Scott because right now, he has his mind on basketball and wants to make the team. He has to stay away from trouble. Besides even if Scott no longer wants to be his friend, Sean still has David as his friend and a person who shares the same interest as him, basketball. Scott was a bad influence anyways with his piercing and how he suddenly started smoking in eighth grade. I think that Sean is better off without having a rebellious friend like Scott.
3.) As the year goes by Sean and Scott's relationship of being best friends will start to spilt up because Sean needs to be a good student so he can be a part of the basketball team. Sean would stop hanging out with Scott because if he doesn't he has more chances of being in trouble and getting kicked of the basketball team. Sean would also quit hanging out with Scott is because in the text it said, Sean was surprised to see for the fact that Scott was smoking and that he had a piercing. That means that he can't believe that he has done all that just cause he is in grade 8. In my opinion, I think that he is just showing off for how cool he is to smoke and have for having lip piercing. Also in that age we shouldn't even think about doing things that would lead us to a bad future. Since Sean has stopped his friendship with Scott he would now start being a good student and he now doesn't get into fights much often. I think that as the book goes on Sean and David would slowly become best friends and start to share more of their love to basketball and how they can improve their skills so they can be good in the basketball team. I think that both Sean and David will be chosen for the basketball team. And slowly Scott would stop smoking and start becoming a better student in class by being on time and not getting in trouble most often.
ReplyDelete1.) Ido not like Scott! There are plenty of reasons why. Firstly, he smokes and he has a piercing. At this age he should not do all of this since it is not right and it can also spoil him. This can make him grow up to be a bad influence in the society... he's already a bad influence. Another reason why I dislike Scott is because he is a troublemaker. He gets involved in a lot of times and in the book it mentioned that he seemed to enjoy going to the vice-principal's office! All in all, I do not like Scott.
ReplyDelete2.) Never! I would never hang out with such people like Scott! Firstly, it's because he smokes and he has a piercing at a very young age. This is a bad habit and it could affect people who are usually around smokers. A few years back, in grade 6 my teacher, Ms. Jabari told us that the smoke that comes out of a cigarette is very harmful to the lungs and it can damage them. And of course, it's better if I don't hang out with him rather than getting problems in my lungs. Secondly, he gets in trouble a lot and that is not something I look in a friend. Who knows, the person might blame all the fights and arguments on me and say I did it even if I did nothing! The last and most final reason is he is a very bad influence and he is spoiled. I would never take the risk to hang out with people who can spoil me and make me have a bad influence. Not only me, but I think that everyone would also NOT want to be a bad influence and a spoiled person.
3.) I am predicting that Sean will become best buddies with David and let go of Scott. Maybe because Scott got angry that Sean wasn't talking to him a lot like he did before and because of that he might've got in a fight with Sean and they might break up. I also think he might gang up with Gavin and beat David up. That might've made Sean more angry.
2. To be honest Scott is a really bad influence right now, I wouldn't want to hang out with a person that smokes and gets a piercing on your tongue when your like age 13-14! But at some points I would actually want to try and help my friend who is like Scott, I would try to influence them to NOT do these kind of abominable things! If one of my closest's friends smoke and I see them doing it, I would smack the cigarette out of their hands or keep poring water on it so they can learn a lesson. I would even give a big LECTURE on all the bad things this can cause. Because even if my friend is doing very HORRID things I would try to NOT act and become like them but I would help them, I mean how else would they learn. I would even bring in the parents to give some advice and sit and talk with my friend/Scott, but if they kept acting horrendous then I wouldn't want nothing to do with them.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely NOT want to act and behave the way Scott does, but if you want a person to act better and mature then you have to take the lead and encourage that person to stop their gruesome behaviour! That's the only way, and yea I know that by the smoke of the cigarette can affect you/others but if you don't want this habit of your friend to continue then step up and do something about it then making it hard for others, and I would take any risk and chance to at least be there for my friend even with the bad times, I would obviously care I mean why wouldn't I! I want to make a change in that persons life and be there for them! So yes I would hang out with someone like Scott, not to BEHAVE or Act OR catch any of their disturbing habits but to help them get out of the stupid mistakes they make, but if they refuse for the advice and help, then let the bye gones be by gones and I wouldn't want anything to do with that person at all!
3. As the year goes on for Grade 8, I think that Sean and David starts getting really close, like hanging out with each other more often and Sean starts to realize David isn't such a bad kid after his first experience with him. After David is giving Sean tips about playing basketball for example "The Hook Shot" they start hanging out more often but in the beginning Sean wasn't really interested in being friends with David but I'm pretty sure after Sean start hanging out with David more often, Sean will realize that David is a pretty good kid.
ReplyDeleteBut after Scott starts to see Sean and David hanging out more often and seeing that David is helping him out with basketball makes Scott's insides rage!! Scott will start to feel jealous on how this newbie is "taking over" his friend (Sean). Also Sean will try his best to stay away from Scott since he's still doing abominable things, so since Sean really doesn't look forward to getting into trouble he keeps his distances away from Sean and by then I'm thinking Scott will start to feel.... lonely, and learn his lesson which will change him. Scott will start to realize his mistakes.
#3: The future of Sean and Scott's friend relationship may not end out too well. As things are going around, David is now gradually becoming Sean's responsible friend. Since David doesn't seem to be very compatilble with Scott, Sean will gradually leave him. Scott will soon not be a part of Sean's life anymore also considering the fact that Sean now finds Scott more annoying and less helpfull towards his goal of not getting into trouble. Instead Scottt wouldmake the situation worse. Regarding this, it would seem that they would eventually grow appart, and Sean would fill that gap in with David. I am saying this because I am simply judging the scene.
ReplyDelete1.) No i don't like Scott at all because i don't like how he treats Sean and how he behaves around other people. Also he is a bully so people who are younger than him like the grade 7s cause since he is a grade 8 now he thinks he's all grown also he's smokes and has a piercing and he's a young age to do all that. Scott is a bully, he is not nice, he thinks he's the boss of everything, he gets in trouble a lot, skips classes, and other mean stuff. So Sean should find a new best friend and shouldn't hang around with Scott cause Sean can become like Scott and Scott can get Sean into trouble. This is why i don't like Scott he's a very bad person to be best friends with
