The ending was a shocker because nobody expected Chris to die or at least the way he died.

That was an unexpected ending

# data[].attributes.body
In the end we find out Chris died trying to make peace. It was an unsuccessful attempt at stopping 2 men which ended in him being stabbed in the throat.

# data[].attributes.body
It sad that Gordie is the only one alive

# data[].attributes.body
I like the ending idk how to describe the tone but I liked it a lot

# data[].attributes.body
Gordie ends up not being friends with the gang anymore, they all go their separate ways, and they all died except for Gordie. Teddy died in a car crash, Vern died in a burning building, and Chris died when he tried to calm two men arguing but one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the throat.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end, almost everyone dies. Vern dies by house fire, Teddy dies by car crash while taking a couple of friends with him, and Chris dies by a stab in the throat. Gordon not only being the only one alive but also became a writer while also having a family.

# data[].attributes.body
in the end chris died for trying to do the right thing and gordie grows old while his friends are dead. And it's really sad because he's the alone one alive in the end and doing what chris told him to do

# data[].attributes.body
In the end I was real hopeful for Chris however... Fate said other wise. He was so close. SO close. If Chris did make it I bet Him and Gordie would still be good friends, Chris might have even been taking up leadership things and what not... But the job of a leader... is too risky. No matter what... Being a Leader hardly ends well.

# data[].attributes.body
The boys got pretty beat up. I know chris lied about his injury so save his brothers but. I think that showed who the mature brother was.

# data[].attributes.body
At the very end of the story, Gordie thinks about the deaths of his friends; Vern was killed in a fire during a house party; Teddy drives drunk and dies in a car accident and Chris dies while trying to break up a fight between two strangers. Meanwhile, Gordie grows up and becomes writer of this story.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe the boys might just let this moment they had go over there heads and just continue with there lives. They are probably to young to understand how serious finding a body is

Chris started to cry in front of his friends. He had some ray brower on his foot. I probably would have cried to. Chris dont seem like the type of person to cry in front of his friends and this is the first time wee seen this happen.

I think they are gonna get beat up (: it would be funny if they would actually beat them up

# data[].attributes.body
a shift in chris is him breaking down crying

I hate how Teddy and Vern left Chris and Gordie. I can see Vern running but it seems out of character for Teddy and it kinda shows that he’s kinda a coward under his crazed demeanor

# data[].attributes.body
Chris Chambers starts crying; which is something unusual to him and the other boys. This is due to him previously already being upset and suddenly tripped; falling over Ray Browser's body

In the beginning of the story, Chris is being very calm and peaceful. But after facing off against Ace & Eyeball on Chapter 27, Chris loses his cool and gets very angry.

Gordie and Vern barely even make it before they get themselves killed by the train.

Teddy calms down after the incident at the dump, with the help of Chris. Vern also admits that even if the boys find the body of a dead kid, it still wouldn't be a good time anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
The kids go from chillin out with there little adult lives to getting into trouble and going on risky adventures

# data[].attributes.body
How did Vern even find the body?

# data[].attributes.body
They have a pattern of always getting into something/breaking the rules

On a hot day in 1960, Gordie, Teddy, & Chris hang in the treehouse, doing things a kid shouldn't do (playing cards while smoking and saying bad words), until their friend Vern asks them to go see a body of a kid who has been missing for 3 years.

# data[].attributes.body
From kids smoking and playing cards to finding out about a dead body and wanting to report about it.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, the boys feel relaxed and do things that most children are not allowed to do such as cursing or smoking. But now they get excited when their friend Vern asks them if they want to see dead body of a kid who was missing for 3 years.

# data[].attributes.body
The characters are constanly saying bad words at each other. They also like to smoke cigarretts.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Vern ask the boys to go see a dead body?

# data[].attributes.body
From reading page 5-20 it seems like the author's intention is that they were just naive kids getting into a serious issue. They did not know what they were doing. They did not know the consequences of finding a body. They were all just "excited."

# data[].attributes.body
From kids just relaxing doing things kid weren't supposed to be doing a shift in an objective occurred. Now the kids have a goal to find and see a dead body of a kid who has been dead for three years (iirc)

# data[].attributes.body
A pattern that I have noticed when they found out about a dead body the narrator keeps reminding us how excited they were

I like this book because the opening signals are just so inviting when it comes to teenage angst and nostalgia of just doing dumb things with your friends. Its a warm summer setting and the fact that there are no adults around make the kids unapologetically themselves which is just fun. One pattern I see is that every kid has some sort of trauma

It appears the author's intent is trying to convince us that uh... well, I am not really sure. I don't think we have gotten far enough to get a clear intention. But from the opening it was describing a certain kind of hurt of trying to find someone to understand what you are saying yet it's too hard to. Too hard to tell the truth because nobody will understand us.

# data[].attributes.body
The Setting is a hideout they made out of junk, so far there's only three characters mentioned teddy the crazy one, Chris, and the main character gordie. All hang out doing thing they not suppose to do.
