Rudy 's Speech : Bullying Rudy

He got D on his math quiz and bullied by the playground bully Frankie T. while his best friend Steve Negrete did nothing but stare at him, and the girls turned away to whisper and talk about him. He also claimed that the teachers were of no help as they looked at him and talked about how foolish he looked like in his new jacket. He felt that they were all laughing and belittling him while wearing that awful jacket. During lunch time, he stepped out to the field and wanted to play kickball. Despite of the cold atmosphere, he removed his jacket and started playing. When the school bell rang he slipped back into his jacket and went to his class. As soon as he was able to warm up a bit, the fire bell rang that prompted everyone to go outside. As he queued outside, other children looked at him and again he felt as though they were all laughing and saying, "Man, that's ugly"(Soto, 474).

After his stay at the Carpenters,he had gone back to the orphanage “ the home of angels”. The nuns had found out about the abuse that jennings had received from the carpenters, they determined that him nor any other foster child would be staying there anymore. Jennings had told one of the nuns that he was going to be sick, the barley got to a sink before it came all up. Jennings then had gone to the nurse, he had explained that he did not eat anything but jell-o powder. “ why did you eat jello powder?” sister frances asked. “ i was hungry, sister. I had to eat something.” “didn’t they feed you?” “tears came to my eyes. I shook no.” Then after a while of him staying at the orphanage, his mother had finally came to get him and promised to never do it again.

TreVon was rushing to get out the door. He knew if he missed the buss one more time he was going to be in big trouble. He’s older brothers Luther and Jaron never favored him anyway. So they did not care if he missed the bus. TreVon was very smart kid but he wanted to be cool so he did not care about his grades. The boy's mother worked 13 hour shifts at a old mill house.

While ambulance chasing, Rudy meets a girl (Kelly Riker) who is in the hospital, due to her abusive husband (Cliff). The second time he beats her, Rudy and Kelly break into Cliff’s house to retrieve her things and have her leave for good. “I’ve never done anything like this before, and I’m quite nervous. In fact, we’re both scared” (Grisham 567). Before Rudy and Kelly breaks into the apartment, Rudy expresses his uneasiness towards their plan, but carries it out anyways. Cliff Riker comes home earlier than expected, and finds them. “… he coils the aluminum softball bat and whirls it at around mightily at my head” (Grisham 569). Cliff nearly kills Rudy with a bat, but Rudy dodged it and managed to push Cliff into a dresser. Later in the story, after Cliff dies, Rudy and Kelly leave Memphis forever. “We smile and giggle as the land flattens and the traffic lightens. Memphis is twenty miles behind us” (Grisham 598). In this quote, it shows that it was worth it for Rudy to pursue Kelly. Rudy takes a risk by trying to protect his love interest from a dangerous man, but in the end, it ended well with him and Kelly leaving their troubles behind in

He was ready to prove them right. Thomas wasn’t going to let anyone get in his way if he can help

Rudy is an individual who follows his heart and is impervious on what the rest of the world perceives. Lately, his whole world has revolved around Liesel Meminger, the new girl on Himmel Street who has come to live with Hans and Rosa Hubermann. The lipstick print denotes his desire to kiss her as brought up throughout the book such as on page 53, when the author says, “It was the lover boy coming out of him. ‘If I beat you, I get to kiss you.” Although Liesel refuses numerous times, Rudy still remains diligent in trying. He seems unharmed by the denial from Liesel from the naked eye, but on the inside, he gets discouraged as pointed out on page 303. “He must have longed

He turned to see Kyle Johnson, pointing at him. "I asked for my money an hour ago, so where is it?" Sam said, "I'm not giving it to you, Kyle. Just go."
