blog #5

In this section of my book Duke brings Jimmy to a Knicks basketball game. Jimmy didnt want to go at first because he thought it sould be lame. But they were talking about there lives on the way and JImmy reallized that he really did want to go. It was a good game and the knicks won. Duke asked kevin to go because he wants to get to no them better. Kevin didnt want to go and he didnt. The next day jimmy was kind of annoyed with Kevin because Duke is just tryin to help them. A guy came in that wanted a haircut. Duke was talking to him for a shile and the guy said that he had 3 kids from 3 different women. The older guys didnt like that and they talked about sex for a while. They tell the boys that there sexual life is there own business but what that guy did isnt the best plan. That guy also was not paying child support so the older guys really didnt like that and they talked about responsibility.

My reaction to Duke bringing Jimmy to the game is good. It is good that Duke is getting to know the boys better and really helping them with there lives. I think that Duke thinks the boys need guidance. This could be true since the only reason they are workin in the barber shop is because they got in trouble and its work at the barbershop or juvie. It is good that Duke is helping them through life because if they keep making mistakes like this they could end up failing in life. Duke realy wants them to be successful in life and i think that is a good thing.

My reaction to the guy with 3 kids from 3 different women is that that isnt right especially when he doesnt help out the mothers at all. I think it would be okay if he paid child support or did something to help out the three women. Duke doesnt like this because when he was a kid it was alot different. When he was a kid you married one woman and had kids with her only. But he does say that thats your own decision and he wasnt going to tell the boys waht to do. Duke does say that wanting to have sex is natural and that hasnt changed since he was a kid.

Do you think that it is okay to have a kid with more than one woman or when you not married?
