Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton


Rumble Fish
By S.E. Hinton

Significance:
I think that this work is impotent because it tells a story that's based on true events, as most of her books are, but i think this book is an amazing book and it is realistic and its true that thing like this happen in parts of the USA and that we should also acknowledge people in these situations to. i think its really impotent of what the author is trying to say because lots of kids think that there being cool by joining a gang and stuff but its actually really dangerous and has devastating effect and never has a good outcome.

Perspective:
This book was written by a author who grew up in a place and place like the ones she writes about and was exposed to a lot of violence. so its pretty obvious that she knows what shes talking about, also because she depicts it great. this book was written in like 1975 and it talks about the styles that were around and also about events that took place. so its pretty obvious that its against crime and drugs and other thing in that type of genre, and over the course of the book she makes it pretty clear what she,s trying to say.

Evidence:
the author grew up in a neighborhood were this type of thing happened all the time and I'm pretty sure that she right because before i moved i lived in a crappy part of San Diego, and it wasn't that Good there trust me, and that might be one of the reasons that i really like her books and the subject that he talks about. also she bases some of the events she has on some things that happen commonly.

Connection:

this book is a book of fiction so there is no real event that happened after it but things
like this effect the world in a negative way because it increases crime and poverty and makes peoples lives bad and that's not a good thing and these people in these situations are no different that us and we should acknowledge that this happens none the less.

Supposition:
i think that if you applyed this to a situation to a more rich neighborhood that you wouldn't have the same problems because kids wouldn't be poor and not steal and stuff also the police wouldn't be cruel and abusive to the kids (enough to shoot them) and then i think that it wouldn't of been such a crazy thing that happened and police officers wouldn't be unnecessarily harassing them, also i don't think they would have shot a RICH kid who was steal ling from a store and running from the cops.
