Through the exaggeration of Junior’s writing, it becomes clear that the reserve is unpleasant at best where learned helplessness is prevalent alongside oppressive amounts of alcohol and drugs, brawling, and poverty. Coming from a long line of those who have given up and surrounded by those surrendered to their conditions of life, it is unsurprising Junior’s parents dreams laid forgotten to as shown by the illustration on page 12. Yet Junior’s parents support Junior’s whim to go to Reardan. With no more persuasion beside Junior asking for some place better, they instantly provided what they could to allow him to go, being it funds or drives. It impresses and touches me how far the selflessness of those who gave up for their own. They who had

I had to tell the gang about Johnny's death. It frightened me to tell them, I didn't know how they'd react. Once I told them, they didn't openly express their emotions, but I knew later in private they would. Then, we got a telephone call. Dally had contacted us from a phone booth, telling us how he had robbed a grocery store and how now the cops are after him. Figures, that Dally would do something so reckless. We met him at the lot, where the police were chasing him. He swiftly pulled his gun out that he used as a bluff from his waistband, as my eyes widened in fear. Only Johnny and I knew that the gun he carried was unloaded. The policemen fired at Dally and just like that the gang had lost another member. I then comprehended that Dally
I felt my face getting red hot as I raced down the hospital hallway. I bit my lip, slamming into the wall. I pushed myself back and ran into an open elevator. I tried to study the floor numbers but my vision was blurry from the tears building up in my eyes.

I messaged you on Christmas on Skype, sorry if you didn’t get it. If you meant a call, I just don't have the strength to do that right now. When I hear your voice,I just become weak. Look, our arguments and disagreements have gotten me to a state where I don’t feel sane anymore. I thought I explained that but I’ll go to deeper details. I can’t sleep anymore without taking a sleep aid, I break down crying randomly throughout the day, and I’ve been very close to harming myself. I haven’t bleed, but I have bruised myself. I can’t handle stand your “I won’t grow” mindset. I have given up on you coming over, I get it that could never happen right now. You made me believe it could for a year now. It not just that, it everything Jerson. I want
Brett, Johnny and I all had off from school. We were at the park over in Levittown, Pennsylvania. I was the only one from New Jersey. We were all climbing around. We were having a tremendous amount of fun. We all had our shirts off showing off our muscular bodies. Out of nowhere, a guy came up to us. You could tell he was intoxicated. He smelled of alcohol, could barely walk straight and threatened to call the cops because we were trespassing on school property. But we were only on the playground. He took out his phone and started taking pictures. We were so shocked that we stood there for a few seconds wondering what the heck we were going to do. Brett wanted to ask him to delete the pictures. Johnny, the violent one, wanted to take him down

Autonomy is an essential value in Western medicine and in medical ethics, and encompasses the idea that patients are entitled have a moral claim to direct the course of their own medical care and to be given sufficient information in order to make medical decisions (1, 2). Autonomous decisions have been defined as those made “intentionally and with substantial understanding and freedom from controlling influences”. Considerations of respect for autonomy in the health care context tend to focus on situations in which decisions need to be made about health care interventions. The principle of respect for autonomy is often key to discussions about confidentiality, privacy and truth-telling, but is most strongly associated with the idea that patients should be allowed to make autonomous decisions about their health care (3, 4).
