His lack of knowledge allows him to do things he thought it would be ‘cool’ and to be accepted in the group because his ‘friends’ told him to, a clear representation of peer pressure. By having him being clueless and unaware of what was going on, this enchants his vulnerability to Peer Pressure. His parents whom Derek was very fond of disapproved Chris very much, but Derek chose to ignore the fact and kept going with Chris, dominating his life.

In addition, in the near end of the movie, Brian makes the group and viewers have to thinking by very meaningful question: “Come Monday, are we all friends?” By this question, the “brain” once again express that he have changed. That is why he asks the question to make sure if anyone among the students has the same feeling with him. Brian is willing to change by making friends with the “out-cast”. He does not care about how different they are; as long as he believes they are his best friends. By that touching question, Brian seems to want to break his original stereotype as a meekness person and become more confident to connect with different types of student.
The character of Biff develops and grows immensely by searching his past and examining relationships with himself and others to find his true self. Although he had a poor view of himself, he felt in the end that he had done something very special when he realized who he really was. Miller puts Biff in a position to look at many of his most important relationships throughout the performance. The two most important relationships are Biff’s relationship with himself and his relationship with his father. Realizing his father is not as perfect as he believes him to be at such a formidable stage in his development deeply affects his view of himself.
Seven years senior to Sonny, the narrator helped raise his brother through his youth. When on reflecting his childhood years, the narrator has many fond memories with Sonny but doesn’t divulge with specifics. It is clear to see by how the narrator speaks of Sonny, the narrator cares a great deal about him.

Through the narrator’s life he’d certainly meant to keep Sonny’s best interest in mind, hadn’t he?
Transitions are a complex process involving unique challenges which may lead to an overall enrichment or growth to the individual. Steven Herrick’s The Simple Gift follows a boy’s mission leaving home at 16 because of an abusive alcoholic father, looking to better his meaning in life. Similarly, In Li Cunxin’s The Peasant Prince explores a boy’s transition from poverty to fame, but his successful career doesn’t satisfy him until he is reunited with his family. Both transitions amplify to the responder how the challenges in transition create growth and development to the individual. As an alternative to challenges in dysfunctional relationships, individuals may seek escape, leading to an active step towards transition.

Outside influences have driven Willy to believe that he is not built for the salesman job. Furthermore, many people chase after jobs that they do not enjoy in order to keep up with what society believes to be acceptable in regards to standard living. Biff, Willy’s son, knows that he is not built for the business world. He would like to settle for less and do something he enjoys.
As a “scholarship boy” he allows himself to be embarrassed of where he came from and that his parents were not as educated as his teachers. Rodriguez separates himself from his family and emerges himself in his academic pursuits. In doing this, Rodriguez was sad. Even though he was a successful student he felt a lack of confidence. My own view is that Rodriguez did love his parents, just did not know how to deal with the two different worlds of family and schooling.
