Andy, a 16 year old gang member in the short story ‘On the sidewalk bleeding’ by Evan Hunter, wanted to just be looked at as a regular 16 year old boy, but instead he gets stab by a guy from another gang. So as he laid down on the floor in a long dark black lonely ally on a raining night, he struggles to call/yell for help because he couldn’t talk or move, than he did by bleeding to death. Hunter describes Andy’s inner struggle to show that some lessons are very difficult to learn. One way Hunter show’s that Andy doesn’t learn a lesson by saying ‘he had fallen to the sidewalk, clutching his stomach, trying to stop the flow of blood’, this mean that he just had got stabbed and he really doesn 't know what 's going on right at the moment.
