Interpretation During Books Rumble Fish

Rusty-James is the toughest guy in the group of high-school kids who hang out and shoot pool down at Benny's, and he enjoys keeping up his reputation. What he wants most of all is to be just like his older brother, the Motorcycle Boy. He wants to stay calm and laughing when things get dangerous, to be the toughest street fighter and the most respected guy on their side of the river. Rusty-James isn't book-smart, and he knows it. He relies on his fists instead of his brains. Until now he's gotten along all right, because whenever he gets into trouble, the Motorcycle Boy bails him out. But Rusty-James' drive to be like his brother eats away at his world--until it all comes apart in an explosive chain of events. And this time the Motorcycle Boy isn't around to pick up the pieces.

Critique Out Of Books Rumble Fish

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ!!! Its by the same author of THE OUTSIDERS. Its great; its so good that ill read it 1000 times if I could! Its about a kid and his name is Rusty James (the name is kind of cheesy). He is not in a gang but its like the Outsiders when they are all like a family and they have each others back.I kind of think hes cool because he doesnt care what people think of him. He only makes desitions appon himself. And he he cares alot for his friends.he is also the

I'm confused. So confused. I don't feel emotional or anything. The characters didn't feel real like they did in The Outsiders. I'M SO CONFUSED!

There's something about 'Rumble Fish' that makes me read it a few times every year. If you think this is a book just about gang fighting - you're wack. It's about wanting to be something you can't be, finally getting it and realizing that it wasn't what what you wanted. It's about being misunderstood and misinterpreted. It's about picking the wrong heroes. It's about wanting to belong to anybody. It's about life turning into black and white.

Personal Response:I thought that Rumblefish by S.E. Hinton was a very good book. I enjoyed the plot line and imagery the most. I thought that the author developed the plot very well and finished the story with an amazing ending. I thought the author used imagery very well throughout the book, especially when she described the street fights. I was not impressed with the ending because I still had unanswered questions.Plot Summary: The book started off with Rusty James and his good friend Steve

This is a really interesting companion piece to The Outsiders. What if Ponyboy didn't stay gold? What if The Outsiders was written from Dally's perspective? It would probably go like this.Rusty James lies to himself constantly, both consciously and subconsciously. He thinks The Motorcycle Boy is deaf, when it's likely TMB is just ignoring hard questions. He forces himself to forget unhappy memories and dulls his mind with fighting and alcohol.How could this have gone differently? How could he

I'm really not sure how to rate this one. I read it in one day and it hooked me with its suspenseful plot and realistic dialogue. Plus, I love stories about tough guys and gangs in the '50s and '60s. But after I closed the book, I didn't have a clear reaction to it that I could pinpoint and then translate into a starred rating. Rusty-James is a young "tough guy" who idolized his older brother, The Motorcycle Boy (real name is never mentioned). Like any young kid with a cool older brother, Rusty

I read the book Rumble Fish. It was written by S.E. Hinton. I thought it was a good book about how sometimes you think things are better than they actually are. I thought that it was also about how you should just want to be yourself, because everyones life isnt as great as it may seem.The book starts off with the main character, Rusty James, getting challenged to a fight by the leader of another gang. Biff the gang leader doesnt fight fair though, because he brings a knife to the fight. Rustys
