The Dark Side of Nixon


Brandon’s mother counted each money for his lunch before giving it to him, but he wanted more money for other things, but his mother never understood. Brandon saw her mother purse opened and grabbed all the coins he could find, there he also finds something saying five years, he asks his mother and she tells him that they give this out to people how have left their drinking habits, she also tells him that he was the reason she left drinking, and he has Fetal Alcohol syndrome because of her. He gets angry and tells her that it’s all her fault that he is not good at studies and he doesn’t have any friends; he leaves his house in anger. He meets his old classmate there. They used to always beat him up. They tell him that they want to be friends with him, they ask for money and throws them on the roof, and tells him to get it, when he was climbing up the roof they hear cops coming, they all started to run and they give him a plastic bag with marijuana in it. He hides it in his front pocket and thinks friend, I have friends.

  2. if i was in the position of the boy then i would have known that they are not here to be my friends,because they gave me drugs to hide.
    the people who used to always bully him threw the coin on the roof so when he was climbing up the roof, so then they can quickly hide the drug in his pocket but they heard cops coming and they just gave it to me to hide.

  6. the story ended here in the book, but i think that Brandon relationship might have got worse, because they might have told him to do something else too which was illegal.
