9. I think in some case the way she raised them might be smart but in others it's not. By no being worried the mom, the kids won't be worried either so they won't see what is good and what is bad don't won't care what they do because they won't know any consequence. I think that this behavior might cause reckless behavior especially in a environment like this one. In the book the people they see are not the best influence for them but their mom won't worry so they won't know what to do and what not to do. They will also raise their children like that because they were raised like that. But the good side of this is that the kids will be less dependent. But this has a large cost which makes it not profitable.

10.  I don't agree with that. Bryon got attack by cops when he was small, that's bad enough. I think that you just on,t know the difference between the good and the bad so you think nothing bad went down. Sometimes you also forget the bad parts and only remember the good parts. I think that with age and experience and maturity people often take more to recover from bad events and won't forget it. I think his way of thinking will change during this book. Because like he say's before if someone does that to me I will hate him for the rest of my life, we can of know that something is going to happen. And if he considers himself as a kid am I'm sure something will change his perception.

11. He took his revenge on Angela she had sent a guy to fight Mark friend but Mark protected him, but got a bottle on the head and passed out. He blamed Angela for doing that so Mark get's Bryon drunk so he will want to see Angela who is already drunk and Mark will give them more alcohol so that Angela will  pass out and that Bryon won't care if he cut's her hair. Mark really wanted his revenge because it takes a lot of effort to make this perfect revenge on Angela. So we can see he doesn't forget who had hurt him.

12. I think it's because Mark is a pot head. He probably goes around these hippie place and gets high often. You see that people seem to know him he also knows M&M's street name. He also defends every body their. He is rude and tells Bryon not to judge the people that smoke herbs. It's easy to understand that he is a  marijuana user and maybe or maybe worst. He maybe even sells drug and maybe that's how he makes so much money. Do we obviously know his not new at it.
