15) I least like the character Sawyer Angotti, because he is the son of Julia’s father's enemy. Sawyer’s and Julia’s fathers have been enemies since day one, because they own Italian restaurants right across the street from one another.

C. I believe that Richard is right in thinking this is a victory, because as a young boy, he has successfully rebelled against his cruel father, by not actually rebelling. It is a victory because his parents were shook by his action, but they couldn’t punish him because all he did was obey his father’s orders. D. Wright’s mother is a positive influence on his life because she teaches him important life lesson such as learning from your mistakes, self defense, and she even starts teaching him how to read.
