yes because he need to learn how to respect people and sometimes kid need to get hit to learn, and is his parents fault that he is like that.

Yes because Bob always wanted to get into trouble so his old man would whip and he was a nice guy because he was just drunk but when he's not drunk he was a nice guy we learned this from Cherry

# data[].attributes.body
Brayden.R: I agree because maybe he just wanted to get in trouble a lot

# data[].attributes.body
justin Gaston: I agree because if he did get belted one more time it would of changed him from being drunk to not being drunk and Bob would not of been killed

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because maybe if he was more mature he would,ve lived

# data[].attributes.body
i agree cause bob was really drunk and he didn't know what he was saying when he was drunk

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he didn't get belted he would have no punishment and no reason to or do it as opposed to getting belted he would have a reason to not do it because he wouldn't want to get belted

# data[].attributes.body
true because all he wanted to do is get in trouble and he would like to do bad stuff like he would fight

# data[].attributes.body
i agree because bob was drunk that night so

he making really stupid things

# data[].attributes.body
True because he always just wanted to get in trouble and belted by his dad so he would he would be happy that his dad did that.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he had belted before he might be a good boy and wont make bad decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Bob would be dead no matter what because I think that he still would have beaten up Ponyboy even if his dad belted him and Johnny would have killed him.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because the old man will not kill him and even though it's too rough and aggressive because for sure the old man will know his limitation of hitting a younger man

# data[].attributes.body
Makenzy

I felt like Bob got what he deserved.and it as going to happen sooner or later

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that yes Bob would be alive if his dad was more strict with him. If his parents were more strict he may not have been out so late and gotten into a fight.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he never acted up he would never get hit by his dad and if he never got hit by his dad he wouldn't be so aggressive and angry all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I do, because the only reason Bob was drunk so often was because he wanted his parents to notice and punish him, so if his dad had belted him he would have known that his dad had cared enough to punish him and then maybe he wouldn't have been so violent

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it would depend with Bob and his old man. The belt would either screw up Bob more ,and still make him be dead because of how bad he acts, or if he got hit and he finally listens, he would still listen. But, with how Bob acts in the story and how he treats all of the greasers, it doesn't;t seem like he would even notice how bad his actions are towards the greasers, and continue with his terrorizing.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because without that anger built up he wouldnt be as aggressive and mean. And Bob would need something to take his anger out.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because he never got punished for the things he did and the things he did to other people and if he had been punished for what he did he would have learned his lesson and would have not do anything like that because he would have been scared to do it and he would have not stole or drink the alcohol and he would have not gone after Johnny and Ponyboy and he would have not got into the fight that caused him his life and he would still be here and he would have saved he's friends and family the pain of he's death.

# data[].attributes.body
Well it depends on Bob's reaction because if Bob's reaction would be like okay he is showing me that if I continue doing this he is going to keep hitting me but there is the other way that Bob could take this and the other way is that he says Okays he belted me so now I'm going to do something more risky to show him that he doesn't have control over me.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he got hit with the belt it would be his punishment. And Bob did something bad so he kinda would have to face his consequences due to his action, and attitude. And with that it would help him learn his lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I would aggre beacuse Bob can be a good person if he wasn't spoiled and everything and he would propbly have a good heart if he was rude the the greaser .

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree because if he hadn't been so spoiled then he might not have pick on people or drown people and help people instead of hurting them

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because someone who has been disciplined right as a kid, and knows when to stop wouldn't be out here bullying and drowning two 14 and 16 year old boys. Someone who has been disciplined knows when to stop because they know the consequences of their actions. Although Bob may not have been ready to die in this situation, all his actions leading up to that moment say otherwise. He plays with his life and fights younger kids, jumps 15 year olds, etc. Now if he had just been disciplined and learned the consequences of his actions, Johnnycake would still be alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree if that Bobs dad told him about his action and that they have consequences and that he should think before what he dose and not everything you will get out of it the easily.Also having a good reputation dose not mean that nothing will happen also if the police or there not talking about what your doing and that you wont get in trouble dose not mean you not get punished for what you and sometimes it can cause alote

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because he would have known what it felt like to get hurt physically and mentally and know how Johnny felt and maybe wouldn't have taken it so far.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. If Bob's dad had just talked to him once he would've known that his actions had consequences. Bob's dad could've shown him that he has to pay for his actions but his dad always lets him get away without anything bad happening to Bob. If Bob had known his actions had consequences he would've been more cautious and seen that Johnny could fight back. In the end though, he didn't know this and he died because of it. If his dad had taught him about this it could've all been avoided.

# data[].attributes.body
I would agree to this because if his dad had talked some sense into him would maybe not drink so much and get so angry at something and yes I think he might still be alive because his dad might have told him not to drink so much because of what can happen .

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this because when cherry said that he didn't care what he did when he was high so he probably would not care.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because bob probably still might have done that even if his parents were strict to show them that he could do whatever he wanted and would have confronted Johnny either way.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with randy because it does matter how much you hit them or discipline your kids they will 6/10 start doing stuff they're not post to be doing because of the lack of love/affection that will make them wanna do that

# data[].attributes.body
I don't agree. It isn't just being whipped means you can learned and understand to do so foolish stuff like he did that night., Maybe if his parents thought him and made him learn then he would still be alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, because if he got hit with a belt he probably would be more defensive of himself and would not get drunk and be very crazy. Like what happened at night when Bob was going very crazy because he and his friends were drinking lots.

Also, Bob could have gone in big trouble and gotten punished.

Bob would learn his lesson if he got belted as his punishment.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if that Mister bob would have got the BeLt He would have learned a good lesson that day and would have never done it again AND he would still be alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if Bob's parents had just given Bob boundaries he wouldn't have gotten drunk and jumped Johnny. And it would have caused Bob not to buy alcohol from the stores.

# data[].attributes.body
Mareli Jimenez

I agree because if Bob would have gotten the belt, he would learn his lesson and not be doing that stuff again.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with this because if bob got in trouble when he did something wrong than maybe he would learn how not to bother other people and pick fights.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, this is because I don't think that Bob would have been fighting, drinking, and being rude to the greasers if he would have been treated different. If he was to have been treated like a real person he would have acted respectfully and caring.

# data[].attributes.body
Vivienne Darling

I disagree with this because it takes more than just a beating to scare someone straight. Bob needed a parent that wouldn't neglect him and actually set boundaries. If Bob had that then maybe he would still be alive, but it takes more than a whipping to get a kid to understand the consequences of his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if his dad hit him only once he got drunk, he would not have been so drunk and try to kill Ponyboy and Johnny. Also maybe it helps Bob realize what the Greasers have to go to.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if Bob had gotten "no" for an answer he would've stopped drinking and acted like a normal kid. Bob was tired of everyone not caring so he went wild until someone told him to stop. Nobody did. If he was told no, then Cherry would still like him and he wouldn't have had to attack Johnny and Ponyboy.

# data[].attributes.body
Lilly

I think that if he would have gotten punished then he would have been a better person but he still would have done bad things too because I think that's the way he is. So yes I agree that he would still be alive but I still think that he would have been kinda a bad kid.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he got belted then he would have been alive because bob would have stayed home if his dad belted him and nothing would have happened

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if Bob dad belated him it wouldv'e knocked more sense because none of this stuff wouldn't happen and he wouldn't be dead. -Nandooo

# data[].attributes.body
yeah because he would belt him if he was alive and bobs dad would be quite mad knowing his son jumped 2 people and got drunk. and with this experience he would have more self discipline and would be more responsible.

# data[].attributes.body
Sergio.v

I agree, because maybe if Bob dad belted him it would've knocked more sense into Bob and none of this would have happened and he wouldn't of been dead.

# data[].attributes.body
LAILA

I agree because his dad and mom's influence on Bob impacted his actions. If his dad had said no, or gave him some discipline, like belting him, for his bad actions, he wouldn't be acting out. He was trying to be bad, so he could get his parents' attention, so they would tell him no. His parents led to him getting drunk, which led to him trying to jump Johnny and Ponyboy. If he hadn't done that,he wouldn't have been dead. It's a bizarre chain of events that led to several deaths, including Bobs. Bob's parents weren't evil, though; Randy said that Bob's mom had a nervous breakdown.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because. Bob was belted once and he was drunky he still never got punish for his actions and he never will

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because Bob was just waiting for someone to tell him no and no one ever told him no it was always yes because he was so spoiled so if he had been belted once he would still be alive because he would know better for once.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because spoiled brats like Bob should be taught a lession. if they had any discipline he could be smarter than getting drunk and getting in a fight then he could still be alive. so I think its his parents fault for not being mean to Bob or say NO every once in a while.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because then he'd be more disciplined. If his dad was harder on him he wouldn't have gotten drunk, or jump two kid especially that late at night. This is why if his dad was harder on him he'd probably be alive. -Mick

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he got belted he would have more self-discipline, and would have thought more about getting stoned. This would lead to him not being drunk on the night of his death and gathering all his Soc buddies and trying something that was very, very stupid-that would not happen if he had not been drunk.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because he's already dead. I don't think his dad would have helped that.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he hadn't had been so spoiled, then he might not have been out doing whatever he wants. Also, he wouldn't have been there to help drown Ponyboy.

# data[].attributes.body
no I don't really agree with this because just getting belted wont or wouldn't do much because he was already to spoiled that it wouldn't change much

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because. Bob was drunky and arrogant, he never got punished for his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if Bobs old man would discipline him, he wouldn't have went out to find Johnny and pony-boy anyways. If maybe Bobs old man would just show Bob that jumping two boys is not okay then maybe he wouldn't have went and got himself in trouble anyways.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because Randy said that Bob wanted to get in trouble, and if he did, he might have some discipline. However, if that did happen, Bob might have become defiant and reckless and become worse than he already was. But, he could have also been punished/disciplined and had some humility. If he got belted, that might have solved a lot of problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he had been belted just once, just once he would have known what Johnny feels like and what he has to go through daily. However, I don't think that the whole problem would have been solved but I do think that the amount of fights and the big fight that Bob was killed in, would have been less and less extreme.

# data[].attributes.body
Elliott Wilson

I do agree with this. Bob was aragent and a drunky. He never got punished for his actions

# data[].attributes.body
I would agree with Randy. The reason why I would agree he wasn't disciplined. Senes he wasn't disciplined he doesn't know what is too far and too bad. Senes he has no limit he does whatever he wants but if his dad disciplined him he wouldn't have done what he did.

# data[].attributes.body
Anthony Hembertt

I disagree because If his old man would have belted him he would still want to beat Johnny and Ponyboy.

# data[].attributes.body
While I do agree with the fact that Bob should've been more disciplined as he might've been more well behaved I do not think being hit by a belt would've helped much. Many children who have grown up in abusive homes could act out more violently to others so he could've been even more violent. Many children tend out to act out as a cry for attention and while that may not be exactly Bob's case he could've been acting out from something going on at home. His parents should've sat him down to talk to him or do nonviolent ways of discipline but if they were to belt him it could have a possibility of him being even more violent.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that if Bob's father had belted him then he would have been a better person. Because if he would have probaly not have been so mean from what his father has done to him. Since he was so used to being rude he took it when he moved away.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because If Bob was more disciplined, then he wouldn't be picking on greasers and starting fights. He is very undisciplined and he should have been punished more as a kid.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. because Johnny's parents hadn't beaten him or neglected him, he would have learned love from his parents, and he wouldn't have joined the gang, and he wouldn't have killed Bob and taken him to the church, and he wouldn't have jumped into the fire to save the kids who happened to be in the church, and he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
I would agree with him because he wasn't a very disciplined kid, as said in the story he got spoiled greatly. If he got his attitude checked he could have turned out to be a good guy and would not have gotten in trouble keeping him alive and well. : o )

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because normally when kids have too much privileges and get spoiled they take advantage of that and always ask for more and think they could do whatever they want so if Bob's parents stepped up and did something to Bob he wouldn't be wandering around drunk and trying to fight everyone and he would be a good kid.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because I think that bob needed to know that he isnt top of everything. maybe if bobs parents had been harder on him he wouldn't go around looking to jump greecers.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Randy because if Bob's parents had made him more accountable and would not have attacked Jhonny and Ponyboy, therefore he would still be alive and they would not have run away.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he had disciplined him he might have not been as wreck less and wouldn't have jumped them or even gotten drunk that night.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because if Bob had gotten punished more then maybe he would be more respectful and learn his lesson. If Bob got punished he would learn to be a kind human and to not treat others unkindly.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this statement because if Bob had been kept in line by his parents instead of them taking the blame for things that Bob did like when he got drunk, the took the blame because they thought that they were not doing what they should be. If they had just yelled at him or hit him once. Bob might have not gotten drunk and gone to the park and then Johnny killing him.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if they had put him into place then he wouldn't be as mean of a Soc and maybe if Bob had a rule for curfew then maybe then he wouldn't be at the park that night or maybe he wouldn't have been drunk that night.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because maybe if Bob's parents had been stricter with Bob, he wouldn't go around picking fights and drinking. Then he wouldn't have tried to beat up Johnny and drown Ponyboy and gotten stabbed.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because I think that Bob needed to know that he isn't top of everything, and that there are limits in his life. If he would have been disciplined, he wouldn't have been drinking or always looking for a fight. Although, only once or twice because he would be worse if his home situation becomes like Johnny's. If his life becomes like Johnny's, he would be angrier and more violent.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if he were punished, he would probably be a better person if he had learned a lesson. He would probably be alive, because he wouldn't be so aggressive and they wouldn't have fought.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because he was doing bad things just to understand punishment and stop him from drinking and harming people.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he just had some stricter rules he may have stayed out of some more trouble and have a mind for common sense!! He might not have drunk that night because he would've gotten in trouble! Then he wouldn't have been killed, or have even been in their territory in the first place looking for a fight or revenge.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Randy because if Bob was punished for what he had done he would have realized that he is wrong or that what he is doing isn't okay.

# data[].attributes.body
I would agree with this because if his old man did he may have realized some of the stuff he can and cannot do. There for he would still be alive because he would realize where he can and cannot go and leave Johnny and Pony alone

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because if his dad belted Bob he might be more disciplined and wouldn't go out and drink and get in fights. Also if his parents were a little strict then Bob wouldn't have went to jump Pony and Johnny because he would have been scared to get in trouble from his parents.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if he would have been belted once for drinking or anything he might would have had more common sense in him

# data[].attributes.body
I agree he should be disciplined.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because he needed to be punished for what he has done and that being disciplined is really important to building character

# data[].attributes.body
I think he definitely needed to learn a lesson and have consequences. He needed to learn but because nobody ever did anything to stop him or say he was wrong. I agree with Randy, he might still be alive if he just knew what was right and what was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because discipline is important because you have to learn your mistakes and learn how to take what you did but still have to take what you did and think about what you did. I would rather get belted then get murdered for what I did if I was Bob.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because most kids who get discipline for their actions know what is good and what is right.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because Bob needed to be punished for what he has done to the greasers, even if he had just been belted once he still needed to be punished in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Randy. He says that the only thing Bob ever wanted was for a boundary to be set for him. If his parents had set that, he wouldn't have had to go around looking for a way to make them. If that had been a little bit strict, he wouldn't have been that way.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because maybe if his parents were more strict and wouldn't let him get drunk or just let him run out of the house in the middle of the night he wouldn't have been in that situation, and would have been more disciplined/wouldn't make bad decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. Discipline is important when building character.

Ella B.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, because if his parents were just a little more strict maybe he wouldn't have gotten drunk or made the bad decision of jumping the greasers then he wouldn't have died. His actions were his fault, but why weren't his parents more strict about what they let him do.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because Bob needed to be punished for his actions. His parents always thought that his actions were there fault and never disciplined him. So he did what he want. And now he got himself killed.

Lila Pamaran

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe the discipline might've helped him to set a boundary and when to stop. If he had been disciplined he might not have ever beaten Johnny. The thing is if he were belted by his father, that would technically be child abuse, which is not okay.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Randy said because Bob always got his way. He could always do what he wanted, and that's because his parents never said no. If his parents would have said no or given him a consequence for his actions, he wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place, and he wouldn't have gotten himself killed.

Lydia Brewer

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because hitting him just one time, would do so much. If they had just been more strict, he might not have jumped so many people.He would know that hurting anyone is crossing the line, and not something that anyone should do. He wouldn't have jumped Ponyboy or Johnny, this would keep him from dying.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Randy Because he walked around like he could get what ever he wanted. He would hurt people and never ET in trouble with it
