Sean is pathetic because he is worrying about David to much and had to search for david himself instead of trying to call the cops to look for David himself.
I agree with pamela i think sean is supportive because hes always with david and helping him with stuff that he can't do and david is also helping season by teaching him his basketball tips/skills
I think that David Thinks that sympathy is pity because he has been through a lot with him being in a wheelchair, and from previous experiences he can relate that everyone just says they understand when simply they just feel bad for him, and they are, in a way, saying that they're better then him, by putting him down. This is an example which shows that when people are "sympathetic", or that they understand, they're just trying to make you feel good and not alone, but also in a way it is human nature to feel bad, but feeling bad is expressing pity, and then said person, who is David in this case, with experiencing this memory over and over, would see this.
A great friend since he worries about David alot since he's gone he was searching for David himself instead of just forgeting about him and ignoreing him and go hang with scott. Like a backup friend
I think at this point of the story seans a little lost.because him having to deal with adult things like girls and David and him doing stupid stuff that are not going to put him back in the hospital but buried in the while his parents are crying that hes dead.
samii he doesnt tell because he doesnt think its something to worry about right now and doesnt want to firstly get david in trouble for dicthing and secondly worry davids mother
hes not afraid to be with david he jsut doesnt want scott and davids two tempers to collide so hes looking out for david not afraid of bieng seen with him its all elementary sharpshooter
Sean played a tricky game at the roller rink. And it seemed at that point that he didnt want to be seen with david. But as we have learned and grown from the book so has Sean. He is clearly a dedicated friend but it has been a journey. Like many REAL friendships they take time to develop.
wow great back and forth dialogue!!! shout out galore to all the great conversation. I think the best this year from some people.
That is a way you could put it , sean playing a tricky game with david, but i guess david outsmarted sean by showing up at the roller rink and sean being surprised that david has the guts to 'snitch' on scott,nick,and gavin.
And yes cheney it does take a long time for a friendship to build trust etc.
At this point of the book I think Sean's a little lost. Because him being over whelmed by all the people he has to deal with like Scott and his gang, David and Caroline. It’s hard seeing your friend that’s in a wheelchair that takes risks and doing dangerous stuff, then comes your "girlfriend" and your old friends.
@ why are you talking about david being in the wheelchair, it is just a tool the author used and refering to on how it would be like if your friend was in a wheelchair
Caring

ReplyDeletein a word is Talwinder is David : SUPPORTIVE of Sean?
ReplyDeleteWell david is supportive of sean at sometimes
ReplyDeleteI think that David Thinks that sympathy is pity because he has been through a lot with him being in a wheelchair, and from previous experiences he can relate that everyone just says they understand when simply they just feel bad for him, and they are, in a way, saying that they're better then him, by putting him down.

ReplyDeleteFriendly
ReplyDeleteHe is friendly because he is spending his time to go look for David like a friend would.
sean is a cool dude. who's great friends with david. trys to pity him but ends not, to show that david isn't stupid enough to, do things on his own.
ReplyDeleteA great friend since he worries about David alot since he's gone he was searching for David himself instead of just forgeting about him and ignoreing him and go hang with scott. Like a backup friend
ReplyDelete@ talwinder what do you mean by David is supportive?
ReplyDeleteSean does seem most sincere in his friendship with David
ReplyDeleteUnsure becaues most people are. Right?
ReplyDeleteTorn between his friendship with david or sticking up caroline
ReplyDeleteDavid is supportive only by a few reasons , he helps seaon with backetball and he teaches sean how to be in his shoes by being in his wheelchair.
ReplyDeletesean is amusing
ReplyDeletewhat I think is that David and Sean are very intelligent but if I were to pick a word that describes them i would say "adventurous"
ReplyDeleteZak what do you mean he is sticking up caroline?
ReplyDeleteTorn: what a great WORD...this could be the winner...we shall see
ReplyDeleteAmusing?! how? tell me more.
ReplyDeletei think sean is kind, because he's looking for david when he still has to get ready for a dance , but for david thats pity
ReplyDeleteI think at this point of the story seans a little lost.because him having to deal with adult things like girls and David and him doing stupid stuff that are not going to put him back in the hospital but buried in the while his parents are crying that hes dead.
ReplyDelete@ talwinder what i mean is that he is dicthing his appointment with caroline to look for david so he has to decide wich is more worthwhile
ReplyDeleteblue jays how is he ammusing
ReplyDelete... stupid... cause why dont he tell davids mom , maybe they would of found him by now but nooo ...
ReplyDeletei think caroline is important 2 sean , but david is more, but maybe after looking he migh still go to the dance with her and david is found!
ReplyDeletesharpshooter sean is not pathetic he is a good friend
ReplyDeletesamii he doesnt tell because he doesnt think its something to worry about right now and doesnt want to firstly get david in trouble for dicthing and secondly worry davids mother
ReplyDeletesean is a very caring character
ReplyDeletefor something he doesnt know yet is worth woorying about
ReplyDeletemr cheney and thamil sean is amusing because he mysterious and wondering he is different you want to know whats he going to do next.
ReplyDelete@ messizak that's what you see but what i saw i sean for that part is that pathetic we all see everything diffrently
ReplyDeleteI agree that Sean is unsure because he never seems enthusiastic about most things David wants to do, for example things like going to the dances.
ReplyDeletesharpshooter please elaborate for me how is he pathetic
ReplyDelete@ messizak sean is pathetic because he is to afraid to hang around david or be seeen with him whenever he sees scott
ReplyDeletehes not afraid to be with david he jsut doesnt want scott and davids two tempers to collide so hes looking out for david not afraid of bieng seen with him its all elementary sharpshooter
ReplyDelete@ messi zak there was a part where he really didn't wan't to be seen with david at the roller rink
ReplyDeletebecause he promised to be there with scott so he is still looking out for david
