Bad Boy Chapter 8 Summary

The central idea of this book is courage because he had the courage to join the military.

I believe he said that because he too stepped out of his comfort and went into the military to really find himself. It took courage for him to be able to do that. Myers also said that “anyone can do anything they set their mind to” (29). That quote from the book really showed during his second grade year. Him and his family found out he had a speech problem, and everyone thought that he wouldn’t do good throughout school, but he did. Another quote that he said was to “never give up on what you want in life” (32). That quote goes toward how in the book he got called on to read in front of the whole class. Even though he didn’t say the words as well while reading, he still did it and stayed positive. After that he stated, “you can just sit there or do something” (41). I think that was said to him in the book because he used to never wanna join a game with other kids
