1. Why do you think Rameck made the choices he did? He knew right from wrong, so what motivated him to choose the "wrong" path as a teen? I think he is highly influenced from his friends. Rameck is following there every step. He is simply acting like a rebel , just like his friends are.

2. Considering both his parents were drug addicts, was he really responsible for his actions? Explain your opinion.I would say 50,50 because if he was really responsible for his actions he wouldn't be taking his friends examples.The other half is that he is some one different when he is not by his friends.I would describe him as a two face.

3. Are young people responsible for their actions if they have no good role models or people to teach them the right way to live?

4. Who are the biggest influences in your own life? In what ways have they shaped you? What have they taught you?I think the biggest person that I am influenced by is my mom. why because she has always been there for me. She was the one that thought me what was right and wrong. I really wouldn't want to see her suffer if i would mess up some day.
