Daniel reports he knows something things are wrong, but he thinks he can get away without being caught. Daniel, while he does not demonstrate skills at generating or applying solutions, can at least identify his problems. He recognizes that some problem behavior is controllable, but frequently fails to take responsibility. For example, he can at least identify triggers in his environment (such as persons, events, emotions) although he is not always successful in responding. Regarding his social skills, Daniel has difficulty understanding that there are other points of view. He can appropriately express needs and feelings in an assertive, non-confrontational way. Daniel recognizes the need to plan, but may set unrealistic goals or fail to act on his
Daniel on the night of the accident decided that he would take Luke, Nicole and Fin for a ride in his car, even though he was drunk silly. He crashed leaving Luke and Nicole dead and Fin in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. This did not just affect himself and the 3 others, all four families were left devastated and a community in shambles. Daniel was sentenced to jail for five years, three non-parole meaning he wouldn’t get to be somewhat free for three years, a very lenient penalty for killing two people, and severely injuring another for the rest of their life. The small town of Mumbilli hated the once loved Brennan family meaning they had to move away from the hate and try to allow Mumbilli to rebuild, ‘The town of Mumbilli was bleeding.’ (pg107). The Mumbilli folk would say that ‘Daniel Brennan was an accident waiting to happen.’ (pg 34) as well as write on the Brennan’s garage door saying ‘NO JUSTICE’ (pg 57) and on an outdoor wall of the Brennan house saying ‘SHAME ON YOU, BRENNANS, SHAME’(pg 174). Not only did Daniel’s drink driving actions affect an entire town, he failed to be responsible for the safety of his ‘mates’ when he jumped into his car that fateful

Not only does this children's book emphasize how quick individuals are to judge without any previous knowledge, but it also incorporates an ideology that is frequently disregarded: being open minded. At first, Dyamonde simply establishes that the new boy, Reed, is a “rude boy.” Without even knowing Reed, she makes this assertion based on his behavior; however, this portrays close mindedness. Instead of merely judging an individual based upon a first impression or their unconscious behavior, it is crucial to assimilate more information about the person prior to putting a label on them. However, as the story progressed and Dyamonde became more open minded, she realized that Reed was solely distraught and upset by his big move from Detroit. In fact, she discovered that she and Reed had much in common, in terms of their loneliness. Both children lost their best friends in the process of their move. Make Way for Dyamonde Daniel enhances the importance of being mindful in all situations, despite any preconceived judgments.
The parents have played a very important role in Daniels life. They brought him up always showing him what's wrong and what's right, what choices to make, and who to trust. Being a parent means that you should always be in control of your children for as long as possible. Daniel was said to be the type that needed guidance even though he came across as a strong and independent. His mother knew this, but even she was scared of what he was capable of. When times got rough the parents backed off and let him make his own choices. That wasn’t the best move to make. The parents might have shown love and affection to Daniel but they truly couldn’t see what was going on. If only they had paid enough attention to Daniel maybe they could witness how badly he was coming off the rails. They could of helped him. Helped him to make the right choices.

As he talks to Reuven about the silence between him and his father, he remarks, “…you can listen to silence and learn from it… I feel myself alive in it. It talks. And I can hear it… It has a strange, beautiful texture… sometimes it cries, and you can hear the pain of the world in it. It hurts to listen to it then. But you have to” (249). Danny begins to understand what silence teaches him. He learns to listen to the pain of others because he suffers himself. Moreover, as Danny is about to leave to Columbia for college, Reuven describes, “His beard and earlocks were gone, and his face looked pale. But there was a light in his eyes that was almost blinding… There was a long, gentle silence” (270). Reuven notices that Danny is excited from the light in his eyes, and he now understands that silence is gentle. Because Danny realizes why Reb raised him in silence, he is no longer confused about his future. Likewise, when Reuven’s father asks Danny if he will raise his own child in silence, he replies, “Yes, if I can’t find another way” (271). Although Danny anguishes, he plans on raising his child the same way. He understands how silence taught him compassion, and he learns Reb’s purpose for raising him this way. Due to suffering, Danny understands how to listen to the world’s problems through
