1.) I think Bryan has conflicted feeling about his Pa being boss because he is afraid that his Pa might have to go to jail again. I say that because it says in the book that the reason he went to jail was because of his short temper, and when he punched Alex, he definitely seemed like he had a big temper.
2.) I think I would move on, but still be cautious of Mike. He still seems sketchy because he kind of lied straight to Bryan's mom. But he could've just thought she was going to be home. If not though, I would still be cautious. I would also feel that I would have to help out because it seems like Mike's family is very poor because him and his three brothers all have to share a room in their apartment, and Bryant said there was barely even enough room to walk.

I agree I think Brian should move and still be couscous about Mike because everyone makes mistakes.

1.Brian has conflicted feelings that his pa is boss because Brian sees him fighting and he is short tempered and that is how he got in jail. pa is big strong; he can take down someone more built than Alex.
2.I think I would move on with Mike because in Brians position he doesn't have many friends and needs someone to hang out with even if they can be strange.

I agree how Bryan needs friends even if they are strange. And there always is the choice if he is not good, Bryan could always just back out and not be friends with Mike any more.

yes i think that Brian should move on because they seem like they could be really good friends in the futer. just one tiny thing shouldn't break them apart.

1.) I think Bryan has conflicted feelings bout Pa because he knows he has a short temper with people and he has gone to jail for that reason. He also knows that his Pa could take down someone way bigger than Alex who hangs on the street with him. The last reason is that Bryan's Pa doesn't have a job and just hangs out in the street so Bryan might not feel good about that.
2.) I think Bryan should just move on from his original bad feeling about Mike. Bryan and Mike get along really well and just because Mike brought up that he has been in a fight once doesn't mean he is bad. If Mike keeps doing this though then Bryan might want to be a little cautious around him.

I agree how if Mike keeps on saying that, Bryan should be cautious. But also, I think it said he had been in lots of fights, not just one.

Question 1:
I believe Brian has conflicted feelings about Pa. Pa can get very inpatient and angry a lot. These problems cause him to do bad things and some of these things have landed him in jail. Recently when Pa came back from jail he changed and is always in his room and never around to be with Brian.

Question 2:
In Brian’s position I would move on. Friendships are a amazing thing to have but all good friendships have there ups and downs like Brian’s and Mikes. The upside is you have fun together and laugh like in Brian and Mikes case when they read comics together and had fun. While the downsides aren’t so fun doesn’t mean it isn’t a good friendship even though Mike wouldn’t share a bag of chips with Brian doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be a great pair of friends.

1 Bryans conflict about pa being the boss is that he doesnt want pa to lose his temper and go to jail again. because when he punched that person he definitely lost his temper.

2 i think that Bryan should just ignore it because mike sounds like a really good friend and i dont think that he was trying to be mean to Bryan. he also has a tough life it sounds like so i think he might get a little mean. but over all i think he should stay friends with him.

I agree pa can get upset a lot and I think Brian has to be careful of that.

1. I think Bryan has conflicted feelings about his Pa being boss because if there is a problem, Pa is most likely to deal with it by fighting.
2. If I were in Bryan's position, I would still trust Mike, but stay aware of him because he seems like he knows his mom is missing each time they go over to his house. I think that Mike knows that Bryan knows that his mom isn't there when Mike says he will be there.
