Why Is Rameck Important

Three black boys grew up in the ghetto neighborhoods of Newark, New Jersey. Those streets were highly influenced by gang activity, drugs and poverty. Due to the conditions that stood before the young boys, they were forced to look to their grimy environment for guidance. George, Rameck and Sam met at University High School, a high school for the gifted children in Newark. While they all were smart, none of them worked to their full potential. They tried to keep one foot in their old neighborhoods and one foot inside the schools. After two of them went to juvenile jail and the other was tired of dealing with the neighborhood kids, the three became friends.

In order to achieve their goal, they made a pact and encouraged each other. There were several factors that were most important in keeping George out of trouble and on the path to success. I think mentors, support from Sam and Rameck, and determinations were the most important factors in George’s success.

All three of the boys in The Pact had the luxury of attending University High, which was a six-year public high school for those who were gifted academically. These three boys faced a deficit when attending here since their middle schools lacked the rigor these boys needed. Additionally, to attending University High, prior knowledge can also come from those who are your first teachers, for example, older siblings and parents. All three of these boys faced complicated family dynamics, but Rameck’s mother, in particular, Arlene Hunt became pregnant at seventeen which resulted in a downward spiral of her life. With that, his grandmother Ellen Bradley was able to take care of him. This experience for many learners would have resulted in following the example his mother set, but Arlene Hunt and Ellen Bradley were focused on the success of her son and grandson respectively and pushed him to do

While attending Harrison High, running enthusiast Philip Mallory runs into a major problem when attempting to join the school track team. Unfortunately his grade in English, the one class with the teacher that he truly can't stand, is not up to par with both the his track coach’s demands and the pressurizing gaze of his parents who just want Philip to go to college. Because of this grade, Philip is not allowed to join the track team, the only thing except math that he enjoys about school. Matters worsen when Philip’s homeroom is switched from a

Rameck always believed that a girl would never be able to break his heart, that was true until he met a woman named Kay. They met at a party and when he spotted her it was almost as if was love at first sight. They got really serious until one day she told him she had another boyfriend who was a football jock. Rameck was crushed. Kay was the kind of woman who needed her man all the time so when he started medical school he knew he didn’t have time for her so they didn’t get back together.

Michael struggles making friends. one way he does is in paragraph 21-28 it says Michael hadn’t made any friends the teachers barely notice him. This is probably because his parents dead and he is being quiet in class. But one day Michael went to the pet store looking for something small and living and hermit crabs where a dollar. When Michael got home he showed the hermit crab to Aunt Esther. “Where is he” says Aunt Esther. Then some eyes poke out of a shell.

future of George, Sam, and Rameck were not destroyed. Paul's hopes, dreams, and future are now completely changed. Soon after his eighteenth birthday he was arrested for the distribution and selling of illegal substances.

Although Robert have two artificial legs and many people, including his parents and the doctors, were afraid of him being the outcast in social events, Robert was treated like all the other kids. On his first day of school Robert was excited to experience school like all his brothers and sisters. Robert made a good friend at school named David. David did not see Robert like all the others, he saw Robert as a normal kid and they had a good relationship. Robert also became friends with his neighbors too, and he forgot about his differences.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story which is told through a series of letters written by Charlie, a freshman in high school. (Chbosky, 2012) In the letters he tells about what his day was like, his feelings and his thoughts about his life. Charlie does not know the person he is writing to, and the person’s identity is never revealed. At school, Charlie finds it hard to make friends and he does not feel like he fits in. This is mostly because of his troubled past and he is still trying to cope with the recent suicide of his best friend, Michael.

His parents were never really in his life and he moved to different foster homes a lot as he kept running away. Due to the fact that he had little educational skills, he did not have the opportunity to learn how to read and write until the age of seventeen. Based on Michael’s physical abilities and size, he was accepted into a private school to play football despite his 0.6 GPA. At the school, most of the teachers gave up on him as he could not read and write, expect Mrs Boswell, who was his science teacher. She recognised his potential to improve his GPA and his reading and writing literacy. He was taken into the Tuohy family. Leigh Anne took charge of Michael so that he could reach his full potential by hiring a tutor for his academic growth. Within this family, Michael understood what a real family was like. Eventually his academic skills improved and he worked hard with his coach and his foster family to become a good football

Charlie was known to have the personality that was always bright and talkative. Charlie had the lowest skill level out of all his “friends” and he didn't understand how real friends should treat one another so he never thought anything of it. Charlie felt good about himself but he wanted to be smart and know what his friends and other people around him knew. He was ready to learn and he wasn’t scared because he pushed fear away; he just wanted to know what it was like to comprehend what was going on in the world. The

This kind of attitude made Rose actually want to learn for the first time in his life. MacFarland saw the potential in Rose and did everything in his power to make sure he went to college.

It all started when he went to get a glass of water. Something so dumb, so insignificant, so ordinary that it’s hard to believe that tales of love, magic, and intrigue came out of it. If you want to get more in-depth, it meant “really gay crushes, weird creatures, and loads of supernatural bullshit” instead of those three words. Right now, the only thing on young Michael White’s mind was getting this glass of water back to his room. He could soothe his parched throat and finish all the application essays he had strewn across his desk. High school was upon him and he craved to get into somewhere that was prized on their academic standards and had a good science program. He shoulder-checked his bedroom door open, which was a miracle for his lanky frame. He sat down at his desk, putting the glass of water off to the side.

Girls perch on the tables like exotic birds gossiping and giggling, a football fly’s above their heads between two jocks in varsity jackets parading their toned muscles. Groups of high schoolers sit around the room laughing. Weekend has arrived and the hallways of the school were filled with tons of kids ready to go home. Every ear filled with the sound of multiple conversations going off at once, lockers opening and closing, music blasting without. I had managed to push past the constant stream of children and to the school field. The grass was damp and covered in a thin layer of frost. As I walked my footprints were embedded, leaving a piece of me in the cold ground. I saw my friends faraway chattering and fooling around. I was stuck in the wrong crowd; they are nothing like me but somehow I am still friends with them. I slowly made my way up to my “so called friends”.
