This especially reminds me of Will’s only examples of men, his father and Shawn. The next line reminded me specifically of Shawn and what he was like when he was alive. “The person whose very appearance- his clothing, demeanor and way of moving- deters transgression feels that he possesses and may be considered by others to possess, a measure of respect.”]]> 2020-11-10 17:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909591869 josephcelsi05 https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909592919 “Younger children witness the disputes of older children, which are often resolved through cursing and abusive talk”  This quote reminds me of will because of how his relationship and how he looks up to his brother, with the anagram  Scare=Care.

Jackets, sneakers, gold jewelry, reflect not just a person's taste, which tends to be tightly regulated among adolescents of all social classes, but also a willingness to possess things that may require defending.”

This quote reminds me of Buck because on page 261 in the book it says, “Everybody knew/ Buck was always flossin’,/ always flashy. But nobody/ would touch him because/ of his pops.” This line shows that Buck was always wearing expensive things just like this quote is going into detail about. Buck relates to this quote because he was one of those kids who “play an important and complicated role in establishing self image.”]]> 2020-11-10 17:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909595671 This is because the street culture has evolved what may be called a code of the streets, which amounts to a set of informal rules governing interpersonal public behavior, including violence. -Will sdeharomartinez06 https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909595834 2020-11-10 17:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909595834 The issue of respect is thus closely tied to whether a person has an inclination to be violent”- Riggs dylanito05 https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909597418 2020-11-10 17:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909597418 ianfernandez3 https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909598581 “In general, the person must “keep himself straight” by managing his position of respect among others; this involves in part his self-image, which is shaped by what he thinks others are thinking of him in relation to his peers.]]> 2020-11-10 17:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909598581 zacharygrizzle https://padlet.com/jlamonte/la2ludx0hjolgs96/wish/909598839 “The rules prescribe both a proper comportment and a proper way to respond if challenged.
