Handbook For Boys

In the last section of my book Jimmy helps Duke move his friend out of his old house and in to a new one. It was not alot of work they just had to move the silverwear collection that this man had been collecting all his life to make sure nothing was broken. Duke wanted jimmys help because he wanted to talk to him about his life and how he cares about him and he doesnt waant to see jimmy go wrong someday. They go to the park after and talk about how life doesnt work and that you have to make it work by making the right decisions. They talked about how kids don't make the decision to rob a bank or kill someone when there young but its a series of events and bad decisions that lead up to something really bad like that. Duke is trying to guide jimmy into the rite path so that he doesnt make bad decisions because he ares about jimmy. Duke is also trying to guide kevin because they are both in trouble and thats why they are working at the barbershop.

My reaction to this was good that he Duke is guiding them to stay out of trouble. I also think that its true that life doesnt work. You cant just sit around and expect to get what you want, you have to go out and get what you want. If you expect to get what you want by not wrking for it you most likely wont get it. Some good people can become bad if they make the wrong decisions and they need guidance from someone like duke.

Jimmy and Kevin are two people that need guidance. They are working at the barbershop as punishment for a fight and drugs. Hopefully Duke infleunces them to be good people because the way they are going right now they could be bad people. Modt likely they sould be alright without dukes guidance but it still helps.
Do you think life works? why or why not

  1. no i don't think it works. I don't think it does because you can make bad decisions. You have to be guided right. If you aren't you won't have a good life. So that is what i think.
