"I really like this book I read it in my freshman year of high school. If you like to read about teens and dealing with peer pressure this is the book to read.
External Conflict- Rusty- James V.s His other friends In "Rumble Fish" by S.E Hinton. The conflict with other people is that he thinks he's bigger & badder than other people. He likes to keep his confidence high hanging out with the junior class.
Internal Conflict- Rusty- James V.s Motorcylcle Boy( his brother) In " Rumble Fish" by S.E Hinton. The conflict with his brother is that he looks up to him which he thinks he can be like. Everytime Rusty is in trouble motorcycle boy is always there to pick up the pieces."
"This was the book that I had to read as summer homework before I got to Freshman year. At first, I was relucktant to read it but once I got reading it I started to like it. My grandfather was telling me to read the first page and see if you like it. After the first page I was hooked. My grandfather told me, "what did I tell you? I told you that you'll like it but you wouldn't listen." I laughed at what he said but it was entirely true."
"Along with The Outsiders, reread this again as an adult. Much better, in my opinion, for an adult reader (as compared to Outsiders). Compelling characters that you really root for (and despise). Fantastic read for young men, fun to relive as an adult. if your first read is as an adult, you may not enjoy it as much."
"This book is about a kid named rusty james. He is the toughest kid in his school and respected by almost everyone. He wants to be just like his brother the motorcyle boy. Smart, super tough and respected by everyone. Rusty james main external conflict is that hes always getting in to truble. hes always getting into fights. And its always ruining his reputation. This book wasnt the best i ever read even though it does have a lot of action in it. i gave it a 3 out of 5. i wouldnt really recommend this book to anyone unlcess they like the author S.E.Hinton"
