Tatum's question:
I think all of the characters in True Notebooks can relate to this, having a good side and a bad side is something everyone has. To give a better example I think Jimmy shows this personality trait very well. He has the big brother mentality, loving, caring and doubts a god for his younger brother's illness. His seems to love his parents like any kid would and for this we see his angel side. On the other hand he does doubt if there is a god, leaving faith in whatever you believe in is a sign of a bad side. He's had a fallout with his brother, his parents, so he doesn't have to feel the bad things anymore. Leaving something you don't want to see or deal with is just another addition to the devil side, that also led him to his criminal lifestyle. Jimmy deals with it like a lot of them seem to deal with these important feelings, one he's lucky enough to write about it. And like all the kids besides the ones in the class, he enjoys the little things any chance he gets. Going outside even for an exercise, or the girls walking across their grounds is a relief, or a mood booster for these kids. My example of my angel and devil would be my guitar for my angel and procrastination as my devil.

Kyle's question:
Well not to long ago I graduated high school, the harsh reality toward the end of high school was hearing I wasn't going to graduate unless I got my stuff together. Of course I was devastated because of the reality of the situation but I would never let anything like that become reality. I was frightened of not graduating which made it very beneficial for me, to put it simply I got my stuff together. I looked at it saying if I didn't graduate I wasn't going to come back to high school, and that wasn't an option leaving graduating my only option left. In True Notebooks there are two options the inmates will eventually be left with. Being in jail for the rest of their lives or being free to go about life as they would or wouldn't have.
