The book I will be analyzing is Pretty Bad Things by C.J. Skuse. This book is about a set of twins, Beau and Paisley, that try to find their ex-con dad by robbing stores and trying to get famous. They do this so their dad will know they're looking for him.
ANALYSIS
The quote I'm analyzing is "I had to get on that road. I had to stop going where I was going. I had to jump off the truck." (Skuse 217).
This says that Beau realizes what he needs to do to survive. This is a pretty big leap for him (no pun intended) because he has always been the one who played by the rules and always listened to what everyone else told him to do. He has always felt that he needed to look out for other people. Now that he is in a potentially life or death situation he has to start thinking for himself and doing what increases his chance of survival.
I infer that Beau will jump off the truck (bet you didn't see that one coming). After this event I think Beau will develop more as an individual. He will start thinking for himself more and not letting people step on him. Before he never had much control over his life but now I think he will start taking that control back.
