The first reason why I would relate to Ryan is that we both have a short but controllable temper because when someone says anything bad about me or my family I don 't even hesitate on saying something back unless I have some sort of respect for them. The second reason is that a couple of years ago I had a friend called jack, we were best friends who were in the same class and played the same sports. I don 't know how it happened but one day I was playing with on his train toys( we were like 6 year old) and I accidently stepped on it and broke it. Jack asked immediately assumed that i broke even though I completely denied it, afterward we were never the same again because of those train toys I broke. This is related to Ryan because in the last book JP asked Anna to the dance and immediately they got into a fight that lasted until the book ended and even in this book they still have a shaky friendship. My example isn 't as sad as JP and Ryan because they knew each other since their freshmen year, one girl was able to ruin it all. Jack moved away in six grade and I haven 't seen him ever since but I always wished that I had admitted it and
