Before I read the book Because of Mr.Terupt by Rob Buyea, I believed that people and events don’t influence who you become. But now that I’ve read about the characters, Jeffrey, Jeffrey’s mom, and Alexia, I realised people and events can influence who you become. One reason I believe people and events influence who you become, is Jeffrey started hating everything (especially school) after his brother died, that was a big event in his life. He said “ I’m no good in school. School sucks.”.
McKinley Meggison Mrs.Juhas 6-7th hour 2-10-23 Steve is a monster. You are a murderer, you killed an innocent old man!!! Steve was a 16 year old boy living in New York City, he had a positive vibe and liked to do photography. One day he saw there was a robbery and the owner was killed (nesbitt).

One of the ways the reader sees the theme unfold is Steve’s own view of himself throughout the story. Steve does not believe he is guilty.

My character’s choices up to this point very in many different ways. Although one really stuck out to me more than the others. The time Ponyboy and Johnny decided to run away. To start, Ponyboy and Johnny while talking about Ponyboys mother fell asleep in the Lot. However, this turns out to have dire consequences when Ponyboy gets home to a troubled Darry Which could impact Darry’s feelings towards Ponyboy.
For example, Edna made a choice, and her choice determined her end. Similarly, Gatsby made a choice, and his choice determined his end. Tim O 'Brien made a choice to go to war, and he came back a hero. Celie made a choice to share her husband with Shug,
