ROAR Post #2, "Rat Bastards", John "Red" Shea Pages 56-110

Now, this next section is different than the first section with many contrasts. first off, this section of the book is about how John is doing from the age of fourteen to eighteen. Also, this is about him, rather than being about the people around him, such as his family and school. This section is more about how he is doing in the boxing business, his fights, in or out of the ring. At the same time fighting, he is being traded between many different owners that area wither the best or just the worse towards him. This section isn't only about his fights, but also about the people he is meeting and their relationship. As John is starting to meet more and more people, he also gets the chance to get closer to Whitey, the one that broke the rules of being a "Southie Kid", who he is presently looking up to. Although, he didn't see this coming from Whitey.

"I appreciated his candor. I appreciated his humor. It relaxed me."
After reading this quote from the text, I thought to myself how much he is going to find out about Whitey later on in his life. Like how Whitey is going to betray the law of them by ratting someone out to save himself.
