The path they took to get steel for their rocket had many tradeoffs. It ended up with the group spending many days digging up the scraps of an old pipe line. Although they had fun and were able to bond over the experience and journey also making some money for their rocket endeavors, they grew tired, were stuck in rain, ran low on food, and worst of all Sonny ended up cutting his wrist. There were tons of positives and negatives to this trip. In the end they were able to come back with bonding experiences but left really worn out and overall in debt.

The Club house, what makes that place special to Homer is that he is will his homies. And they all share common interests and are positive with each other. Which makes it easy for them to connect with each other. And they think about the rocket stuff.

The relationships that Sonny has with all of these places differs greatly. Some make him feel comfortable and give him a space to think such as the Church. Some on the other hand make him feel anger and resentment because of past experiences and relationships with that place such as the mine. Sonny feels different ways towards different places depending on his relationship with that certain place. So if he has had negative experiences linked to one place, then he most likely will not go to that place or think of it more often. This creates a distant relationship with one place. Other places have positive experiences and memories linked to them which will make him want to spend more time in those places to experience those positive feelings. This creates a close relationship with one place.

Miss Riley guides Sonny and his friends with learning the math and science behind rocket building. She also is the one that suggests they enter the science fair.

Relationships are determined on how well you want something. Sonny's relationship with the mind isn't great because he doesn't want to end up there. Also with Dorothy he liked her so much that he wanted her to be his girlfriend. Our emotions determine the kinds of relationships we have with people, places, or objects.

# data[].attributes.body
Race, class, and religion can determine where we spend our time or who we spend our time with. Because of Sonny's religion, he goes to church. At church, Sonny hears parables and messages that pertain to his life. These parables improve his relationships with the people around him, especially his dad.

Romantic relationships provide reassurance and guidance and someone to share affection with. Romantic relationships are difficult to build, but they can become close and unbreakable for a lifetime. In October Sky, Sonny, and Dorothy are in a growingly lopsided romantic relationship. Sonny holds more feelings for Dorothy than what is returned. Despite this, he uses his drive to win over Dorothy to push him to do impressive things, even if it doesn't work, it builds his confidence. Also, Homer and Elise have a poor relationship where Homer doesn’t give Elise the attention she wants, and Elise is constantly rude to Homer about working in the mine. So, relationships are supposed to be very beneficial, but in October Sky they are quite the opposite.

# data[].attributes.body
People often have romantic relationships based on their dreams for the future. For example, in the book Sonny's parents have differentiating views on Sonny's future. Elsie wants Sonny to break through the restraints of coal wood and become more than just a miner. Homer on the other hand wants Sonny to carry his legacy and stay in coal wood. This difference leads to conflict in their marriage. At one point Elsie even questions Homer on how he loves the mine more than he loves his family. This scenario provides an excelent example of how similar views are more likely to impact a relationship in a positive manner.

# data[].attributes.body
A benefit of having romantic relationships is always having a designated person you can always count on. In the example of Sonny and Dorothy, Sonny doesn't get to experience this benefit because Dorothy has other romantic relationships with people the complete opposite of him, like Jim. Without having mutual feelings, Sonny doesn't get the same benefits that Dorothy does, and especially not with the same people.

All romantic relationships are not equal. For example, in October Sky Sonny and Dorothy's relationship is not anywhere near equal to another romantic relationship like Elise and Homer's.

Romantic relationships are determined by affection. Affection is based off personal preference. Personal preference is based off gender, appearance and personality. In October Sky sonny prefers Dorothy over all of the other girls (mostly based off physical appearance).

Personal growth can be gained from the failures, pro-suits, and successes. Yes there the immediate gains of companionship, physical relationships, and communication but the experience and answers you gain in the long run are forever lasting.

Our feelings and the places we spend our time is what determines our romantic relationships. Sonny and Dorothy is a great example of this. Sonny has feelings for Dorothy because they grew up around each other and have a good relationship as friends. Dorothy gives off mixed signals after going to the dance with Sonny's brother but also showing small signs of interest in Sonny. Sonny also would've never given Valentine a chance unless they were in the same dance together, leading them to hook up.

# data[].attributes.body
A trade-off could be not wanting to be tied down to someone else because when you're in a relationship you can't do things that you could when single. In October sky Homer and Elise are married but they never get to spend time together because of him working in the mine. In a relationship it can be hard to keep your feelings because circumstances could change and you can lose those feelings. With Sonny he has always had feelings towards Dorothy but he is now starting to notice Valentine.

A hero is a symbol in our lives that we take inspiration and guidance from. We tend to look up to heroes in different ways. We can vary on our relatability and accessibility to our heroes. Some hero relationships affect different parts of our life. Wernher von Braun is one of Sonny’s heroes and is the main reason that he wants to learn how to build rockets. Sonny also looks up to Jake who is able to socialize well and Sonny admires that. In his relationship with von Braun, Sonny is striving to one day work alongside him. This pushes him to pursue a career in rocket construction. On the other hand, Sonny’s relationship with Jake focuses on the emotional side of his aspirations in Sonny admiring Jake’s ability to be socially confident. Von Braun has a lifetime influence on Sonny’s life and career. Whereas, Jake influences Sonny’s social life.

In relationships, we tend to group together with people that are similar to us. On the other hand, heroes tend to be able to understand what we are going through. These two concepts link to one another because a hero is more likely to become a hero if the two people in the relationship are similar.

# data[].attributes.body
Relationships support our lives because it is human interaction and helps one another be social. And make our social skills be on point. Like Ms. Riley is kinda a hero to all the boys by giving them the book they need, and persuaded the principle to not take away the change to make a rocket. It was their dream.

Dreams and visions have a strong influence on the decisions you make in your every day life. Sonny imagines what he will do with the rockets once they're built and that makes him want to hang around Quentin more so he can reach his goal.

Normally people's heroes are famous, or someone whom they don't know personally. When you don't know your hero it can't be labeled as a relationship because it is just admiration. The trade-off with admiring someone famous is that you don't know your them personally, so they could be a bad person. In October sky, Homer admired Dr. Von Braun, later Homer found out that he was helping the Germans.

The benefits on having a relationship with your hero are that they are where you want to be, so they can assist you on the steps to get there.

No not all relationships are equal because you can be closer with other people. Sonny is close to his friend Quentin, who he looks up to because of how smart he is. He also looks up to Dr. Vaun Braun because of his work with Nasa but Sonny's never met him before.

Relationships give positive energy to our lives and help us learn new things from other people. We see new points of view. In October Sky, Sonny's teacher is a role model in his life. Through his relationship with her, Sonny knows and learns how to build rockets.

Relationships are a staple of human life, with many things falling under the definition. The benefits to society have been shown through our evolution, with our society becoming entwinned with the idea of relationships. In the book, Sonny is mentored by the company welder on how to weld, and helps Sonny build some rockets, and get off the ground with his experiments, even though he breaks company policy. In a similar way, Sonny's father helps him get some bags of cement, to build a rocket pad. Without a relationship with his father, Sonny might not have been able to get those materials.

Not every relationship is equal. Some friendships are different than others there is Quentin that is friends with Sonny and then there is the relationship with Ms. Riley.

people tend to stick with other people who share the same ideals and thoughts as you. an example from the book would be the amount of segregation, since the book was written and is based on a story from the 1950s. also the cliques in school seperate the students into their own groups.

Your dreams/visions for life determine who your mentor is gonna be.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful relationship with a mentor begins with, in our opinion, an easy going introduction. For example, in a school setting true mentors are much less common due to the tense relationship between teacher and student. However, in a setting such as a family party a mentor will more often come across as kind and upbeat due to the environment of the introduction. An example of this is the relationship between Sonny and Mr. Bykovski. Mr. Bykovski is able to become somewhat of a mentor to Sonny due to his previous positive acquaintance. through Sonny's dad.

Relationships can help us grow as people and see life through others. We can grow strong bonds and experience more from those who we are close to. Sonny has many relationships throughout the book which benefit his life in many different ways. His mother is a figure of guidance and part of his motivation to continue his goal of building rockets. His friends all push one another into trying new things. They encourage each other to get girlfriends and build rockets. Relationships as a whole make life interesting and worthwhile.

Positive relationship's provide support and encouragement in our lives. In October Sky Sonny's Mom continuously supports Sonny. This encouragement allows Sonny to continue to build his rockets even with all of the people who oppose him.

Relationships with hero's support our lives by giving us hope when we might not have any. Sonny gets hope from Dr. Vaun Braun when it comes to his group building rockets. He gives the boys hope that it's not something stupid especially since a lot of the people in town think it is.

# data[].attributes.body
In relationships with you heroes, you may or may not know them personally. If you don't know your hero in real life, it can be difficult to have a real relationship with your hero. If you do know them in real life, you typically give your time to your hero and they can teach you how to be more like them. This is a trade-off in your relationship. Sonny's hero is Dr. Vaun Braun. Sonny looks up to him because he works at NASA, he doesn't really know Vaun Braun personally but he does want to be like him. Sonny gains someone to look up to and Dr. Vaun Braun gains recognition. Another hero in Sonny's life is his teacher. Ms. Riley helps him learn how to build rockets and gives him a book about it and in turn Sonny pays attention to her and they form a relationship.

No all relationships are not equal. You always have that one person who more respected, more influence, or has done something to make them looked up to in the eyes of the public. Power is in the eyes of the beholder. It depends on who is looking at the relationship, and their own opinion on it. For example Hero's and how they are looked up to and respected by their different actions.
