beginning of book
I was surprised that Charlie left Marcus with the car payments. A typical adult would not leave a child with that responsibility. They were both there when it happened and were both involved with the window breaking so they should have split the blame, if not Charlie should have taken full responsibility. He also planned a revenge prank on the owner of the car. An adult would not usually do something like that especially when it was his and Marcus' fault. He alwasys forgets promises and acts as if they never made any.

ReplyDeleteI also agree that Charlie made the wrong choice of leaving Marcus to pay for the broken car window that wasn't all his fault. But you also have to understand that Charlie has Alzheimer's so he doesn't always remember the things he did.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Charlie acted very irresponsibly and should not have left Marcus to pay the whole bill to fix the window. I know that Charlie has Alzheimer's, but I feel as though that wouldnt make him run from Marcus when this all happened. I think Charlie should have paid for the whole cost of the damaged window because he was the adult, but instead he left it to Marcus. I feel as though his actions of not paying for the whole new window, and running from Marcus made him look childish.
