pete because pete was right because he did the right thing. I know this because in te text it states “John, I said. We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school¨.This shows pete was in the right because he was thinking about the consequences.Also in the text it states ¨“Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us. I can’t do it, man.”

This also shows pete is in the right because he is telling his friend he can´t do it.in con conclusion  pete because pete was right because he did the right thing.

i agree with preston because pete knew not do to shoplift anymore. but john did listen and got caught. So if john would listen he wouldnt of in trouble

Ellis: i think pete made the right chose because  one day where pete didnt want shoplift any more but john got caught shoplifting.So when they asked pete if knew about it was right for pete to say no. For example"“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school." This shows that pete told john it was a bad idea and john still wanted to shoplift. Thats why john got kicked off the team and suspended from school. Another example is"When I got to school the next morning, I immediately heard the bad news. John had been caught shoplifting. I knew they’d wonder how I was involved. John and I went everywhere together." This shows that if pete went with john, Pete and john would have both got in trouble and got kicked off the team and suspended from school. So that why i think Pete did the right thing when didnt tell on himself. So im with Team Pete this one.

i think pete made the right decision because pete wanted to tell john stop doing bad thing but he keep on doing bad thing and got him in troubles.

Pete made the right decision because he was not only helping himself and his friend but he was also making a good choice about something wrong. The text states, "We have to stop. We're going to get caught they'll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school." This shows that pete is able to differ right from wrong and help his friends realize that instead of blaming them for something you also did. John, on the other hand, chose to tell on him and his friend even though he should've known better from what Pete said and known not to do it again. -Preston

Pete mad the right decision. Pete mad the right decision because he knew shoplifting was a bad thing so he decided to stop helping John with shoplifting.Joselyn:p

Lizmary- The Character that i feel made the right decision was John but i also think Pete.John was protecting his friend he didn't want him to get punsihed.On the other hand Pete told John to  to steal any more but John still did it, Pete didn't want  to get in trouble he wanted a good life for himself.An example is "Then I couldn’t do it anymore.

“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.”This proves that Pete told John to not  steal any more but John still did it, Pete didn't want to get in trouble he wanted a good life because he was the one that told John to stop doing it he knew that this would get him in deep trouble.Another example is "Okay, Pete,” the principal said. “John already told us he did it alone.”

I could tell they hadn’t believed him, either. But there was nothing they could do. I hadn’t confessed and John had denied that I was a thief, too".This proves that  because John  was protecting his friend he didn't want him to get punished because he took the blame for all of this he was a loyal friend he didn't want to ruin Pete's career because he knew it would hurt him to.

Zamir: I say that Pete made the right decision because Pete told John that he wanted to stop stealing. In the text it states "John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school”. Another Piece of evidence that I have is "Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.” “I can’t do it, man.” “You’ve always been a wuss.” I walked home alone while John went to the store. I thought he might text or call me after he left the store. I didn’t hear anything from him". This shows that Pete made the right decision and stopped stealing with John. Another reason why I chose this evidence is that Pete wanted to stay on the football team cause if kept on stealing with him would have gotten caught just like what happened to John.

Zamir: I agree with hasaan

# data[].attributes.body
hasaan : i feel pete was right he had tld him to stop multiple times and he didnt listen so he got what he deserved in the text it says John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.”

# data[].attributes.body
I 100% agree Zaydin

# data[].attributes.body
Team John. I chose John because despite wanting to keep stealing he owned up for his actions and even took the fall for his friend showing his loyalty,John lied to help out his friend while Pete lied to help himself.I know this because the text says “Pete,” the principal asked again. “Were you involved in this?”“No, sir,” I said.They all studied my face. They knew I was lying. They wouldn’t let me get away with it.“Okay, Pete,” the principal said. “John already told us he did it alone.” This shows Johns loyalty to his friend by sacrificing his reputation.     -Aiden

@Ryan I agree because he should look out for himself -Nogoa

# data[].attributes.body
i agree wit denise

# data[].attributes.body
Zaydin- john because he aint a snitch and he admited to what he did but pete aint a man and cant own up to what he did but point is john he goat. EXAMPLE pete told john to stop but john didnt listen and john owned up to what he did and didnt snitch on pete.

# data[].attributes.body
#TeamJohn

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Denise and Nogoa

# data[].attributes.body
denise john because when he did get caught he did admit he did not rat out his friend because he knew that pete was right when pete told john to stop he did not listen and got caught so he did not want to rat pete out

# data[].attributes.body
Nogoa: Im team Pete because the decision he made benefited him positively. John knew it was wrong and still did it. The text states ¨ I’d let him take all the punishment. I kept playing football. I didn’t have to scoop up dog 🤬 while my classmates watched. I wasn’t suspended. And my reputation wasn’t ruined. I wasn’t branded as a good kid gone bad. In fact, some people thought John had betrayed me by shoplifting and nearly getting me into trouble." Pete was helping himself which is something I would do.

# data[].attributes.body
Daren: I think John made the right decision because he saved Pete from getting punished and Pete wanted to have a good life so it is probaly the right decision to do. In the text it states that" I’d let him take all the punishment. I kept playing football. I didn’t have to scoop up dog poop while my classmates watched. I wasn’t suspended. And my reputation wasn’t. It looks like that Sherman was in trouble he said that he instantly heard the bad news and he got caught shoplifting John have to make a choice to confess or keep it as a secret John got blamed and Sherman is free John is not anymore friends with Sherman ruined. I wasn’t branded as a good kid gone bad. In fact, some people thought John had betrayed me by shoplifting and nearly getting me into trouble."

i agree with Jocelyn

# data[].attributes.body
Elena Collado . the character that made the right decision was Pete because Pete told John that he didn't want to shoplift anymore because they might get caught. but John made the decision that he wanted to continue shoplifting therefore Pete was the character that made the right decision while John was the character that made the incorrect decision  for example "Then I couldn’t do it anymore.
“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They
might throw us out of school.”
“Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.”
“I can’t do it, man."

# data[].attributes.body
jocelyn: the character i feel made the right decision is pete because he decided to stop stealing for his future and to be able to stay in the football team “John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.”

“Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.”

“I can’t do it, man.”

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Saher because Pete wanted to stop before they would get caught but John didn't listen.

# data[].attributes.body
JOE: I agree with Elian because at the end of the day Pete did tell John to stop

# data[].attributes.body
Joshua Ramirez- I feel like Pete made the right decision because he warned John that if he was to continue they would get caught but John decided not to listen. In the text it says "John,' I said. 'We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.' 'Just one more time,' he said. 'Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.' 'I can’t do it, man.' Also in the text it says "When I got to school the next morning, I immediately heard the bad news. John had been caught shoplifting. I knew they’d wonder how I was involved. John and I went everywhere together. Halfway through first period, I was summoned to the principal’s office. He was there with the superintendent, the school counselor, and the football coach. It felt like an interrogation. 'Peter,' the principal said. 'I’m sure you know why you’re here.' 'Because of John,' I said. 'Yes,' he said. 'Did you know what he was doing? Were you involved?' I wanted to tell the truth. I knew that I should confess. But it felt like I’d destroy my life by admitting to the crime. I wondered if John had already told them that I’d stolen nearly as often as he had. Did he do the right thing? 'Pete,' the principal asked again. 'Were you involved in this?' 'No, sir,' I said."

# data[].attributes.body
Kaelem: I think Pete made the right decision because Pete regretted stealing, He cared about his future and he knew if he kept stealing it would get him kicked out of the school and would mess up what he loves doing which is football. I know this because in the text it states“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school. Just one more time he said. Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.I can’t do it, man.” This shows that Pete regrets stealing and wants to make the best decisions so it wont clutter his future

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Saher because he told him not to do it and he still did now he lost his career -Morgan

# data[].attributes.body
Spencer-I agree with Saher because Pete warned his own friend that he knew for 3 years and they had a good friendship so Pete made the right choice to warn John and Pete didn´t want to take any blame since he didn´t want to go to jail since you could go to jail for shoplifting,and Pete didn´t care about his football career he cared about not having his life ruined by shoplifting. John made the wrong choice either way because he didn´t listen to Pete.

# data[].attributes.body
JOE: I'm on Pete's team because he stop and thought if he keeps on stealing it would affect his future negatively and is now trying to make John stop but he continued to stealing, Then John got caught and now is taking the punishment. But Pete was summoned to the principal office and was asked if he had something to do with John's shoplifting and said no, That shows Pete was disloyal but at the end of the day, he did ask John to stop. In the text, it states, "We joked and laughed with the old people who owned the store. We paid for five bucks of snacks as we stole twenty more.

Then I couldn’t do it anymore.

“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.”

“Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.”

“I can’t do it, man.”

“You’ve always been a wuss.”

I walked home alone while John went to the store. I thought he might text or call me after he left the store. I didn’t hear anything from him.

When I got to school the next morning, I immediately heard the bad news. John had been caught shoplifting. I knew they’d wonder how I was involved. John and I went everywhere together."

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pete was in the right because he told john that they should stop and he decided not to and got caught. In the text it says "“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.”

“Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.”

“I can’t do it, man.” “You’ve always been a wuss I walked home alone while John went to the store. I thought he might text or call me after he left the store. I didn’t hear anything from him. When I got to school the next morning, I immediately heard the bad news. John had been caught shoplifting. I knew they’d wonder how I was involved. John and I went everywhere together. This shows that Pete is in the right because if john would've listened Pete he probably still playing football. This is Morgan

# data[].attributes.body
I agree and disagree with Ryan becaus I feel like Pete only care for his football career and need to face his consequences because he still stole with John, and Pete is being disloyal to a good friend of his .

# data[].attributes.body
saher i really like your response you restated and fully answered the qestion good job thumbs up for me Elian

# data[].attributes.body
i also agree with saher because he warned him: ryan

# data[].attributes.body
Ryan: I think Pete made the right decisions because he stopped and wanted to keep his spot on the team. the text says"John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.” the text also says"Okay, Pete,” the principal said. “John already told us he did it alone.”

I could tell they hadn’t believed him, either. But there was nothing they could do. I hadn’t confessed and John had denied that I was a thief, too. He was kicked off the football team, sentenced to community service picking up litter around town, and was suspended from school for a month." this proves that Pete didn't get kicked off the team john did because he continued without looking at what could happen also Pete didn't ask john to cover for him but he did anyway. in conclusion I feel Pete did the right decision because he was kept on the team

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Saher because Pete wanted to stop John from shoplifting before anything bad happens.

# data[].attributes.body
Elian  I feel that peter made the right dissition. For example the text says

¨The thrill and guilt grew bigger each time.

We joked and laughed with the old people who owned the store. We paid for five bucks of snacks as we stole twenty more.

Then I couldn’t do it anymore.

“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.” this shows how peter made the right dissition because he knew if he continued to shoplift then the conscenses could be major.

# data[].attributes.body
Meredith - I’m team John but at the same time  I feel like Pete made the right and wrong decision because he still stole with John and they enjoyed doing it until he felt guilty . But he also made the right decision because he stopped stealing with John . For example “ But after practice that night, we did it again. Then again the day after that. We shoplifted for a week.The thrill and guilt grew bigger each time.” This shows that he felt bad doing it but still felt thrilled . But he is very wrong for not admitting to his actions because he still stole . And now John took all the blame and he is facing consequences , but Pete only cares about himself and his football career. Pete was very disloyal and now there good friendship they had is now in the trash.

# data[].attributes.body
Jeremy Bonete: Pete made the right decision because he changes his mind about shoplifting and wanted to confront John about it. In the text, it states, " Then I couldn’t do it anymore. “John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.” “Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.” “I can’t do it, man.” “You’ve always been a wuss.” I walked home alone while John went to the store." This meant that Pete tried to talk with John about no more shoplifting, but John refused and went to steal without Pete.

# data[].attributes.body
Spencer-Pete made the right choice because he warned John about to stop shoplifting but John didn´t want to listen and he didn´t care. IN THE TEXT IT STATES ¨“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.” “Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.”

“I can’t do it, man.”

“You’ve always been a wuss.” This shows how Pete warns John because Pete didn´t want to get in trouble and he knew that the school would find out,When Pete came to the pricipal´s office,he didn´t want to confess since he already warned John and since he stopped he didn´t confess since he didn´t want to get kicked out of school or off the football team. Pete even warned John but John didn´t care so John made the wrong choice

Saher Nashed:I agree with Jeremy because Pete made the right decision to stop shoplifting.

The character that i feel was Pete because he was able to stop stealing before it was to late. in the text it states The thrill and guilt grew bigger each time.
We joked and laughed with the old people who owned the store. We paid for five bucks of snacks as we stole twenty more.

Saher Nashed I feel that Pete made the right decision because he warned his friend before he goes to steal by himself. In the text it states“John,” I said. “We have to stop. We’re going to get caught. They’ll kick us off the team. They might throw us out of school.” “Just one more time,” he said. “Come on, Pete. They’re too old to catch us.” “I can’t do it, man.”
