His influence was his brother Tony that was “the closest thing he had to a role model” (page 72) Tony was a troubled child and their mother would depend on him to talk Wes out of drug dealing and fighting when Tony did those activities himself. How cliché? Of course, Wes felt that if Tony could do it then it was acceptable. We find this evident in Chapter 4 on page 72. Wes

For a college-age male who just experienced great tragedy, Eggers does a great job of learning the ropes of parenting.

One of my favorite athletes that I’ve always liked and looked up to was Alex Rodriguez and when he got caught using steroids it made me think less of him. All of those years that I watched him have great seasons could have possibly just been because of the steroids that he was taking. Professional athletes are looked up to more than anyone in America by little kids.
