Year- 1997
Make-Dodge
Model- 1500 club cab
Mileage- 1,250
Cost- 4,494
Exterior- dark blue color gate on the front bumper it has a custom back windows.
I bought this car because my job I will need to be hauling around all of my tools and gear and I will need a lot of space to do that. The reason I was going after a truck because of the bed in the back of it so if I need to bring big things to work it won’t be a problem. It has a back seat with a seat belt and when I start making more money I plan to get a upgraded truck. It doesn’t have the best highway and city mileage but I wont be traveling that far and it could get me at least 3-4 days without putting gas into it.

That was then and this is now

Questions

How did Mark teach himself how to hotwire cars so young? Did he see someone else do it?
Was Charlie scared or mad about getting his draft notice? Did he think if he went into the war he would die?
Why did Bryon ask M&M if he had ever given him a bad deal then winked at Mark?
Did Charlie tell Bryon and Mark to be careful because he knew that the cowboys had a gun. And if he did know, why didn’t he tell them he did?
Why did Charlie risk his own life for Mark and Bryon and how did he know that they would be in the alley at that time?
Connections

Any time I go up to my cousin’s house in Texas I always shoot his shotgun.
When my dad was 21 he had a choice between jail or the army he chose the army while he was still in jail waiting to be shipped out to boot camp he got his draft notice but he was already going into the army so he didn’t really have a option anymore.

I have heard a lot of jail talk it is like a slang lingo like code for them to understand.

I have played pool a lot but I’m not the best but I like the game.

My older cousin’s friend wears any peace symbol he can get his hands on.

Vocab

Jack The Ripper- was a mass serial murderer in London.
Dirty Deal- A unfair deal or trade that only benefits one person.

Interesting
Dirty Dave was a ex-con man who didn’t want to be played and if he did watch out. This is interesting because if he was in jail he probably knew how to fight.
Mark was getting mad that Bryon was starting to change and Mark wasn’t. It’s important because over the time they might drift apart.
Bryon always let the other person win the first game then he would win all of the rest. So he made them think that he was really bad and then he would win.
Charlie cut a guy’s throat and didn’t get locked up for life. It’s interesting because if he murdered someone why didn’t he go to jail, usually I think you would be in jail for life.
That Charlie was willing to risk his own life to save Mark and Bryon even though he knew he could probably die. It’s important because it show’s them how much he cares about them.
