1) I agree that Dean Morairty is the center of the novel because Sal is interested in Dean’s life and how he strives for do better and be better in life even though he is conning his way through. Dean represent a carefree and that do whatever it takes behavior. Sat amires Dean because Dean is not the typical person he would be friends with and he was simply youth tremendously excited with life. I think he want to be like Dean but he do not have the courage to do what Dean does.

You back up your case strongly and I like when you said how Sal wants to be like Dean but can’t
Great point, Jodi. What makes you believe that Sal “doesn’t have the courage to do what Dean does?” Is there a quote or section of the novel that could support that claim?
