ment and the events lead up to his wrong doings. John visits Robby in prison and finally opens the lines of communication between each other. They decide to write a book together but John doubted himself. John did not trust himself with Robbys story because he was tempted to make it his own. The first story Robby talks about is his friend Gar in the hospital. Gar seems very sick, hes stuck in a hospital bed. He was misdiagnosed by the doctors and dies because of it. After the death of Gar, Robby turned into a hardcore gangster. He vowed to make it to the top of the street world. This was his own choice. No one told him he had to turn to being a hardcore criminal.After the epilogue Robby tells the story of Garth, his best friend that is sick in the hospital. John later on explains that Garth is misdiagnosed and dies not much sooner. This kind of puts Robby over the edge. While Robbys gang dwells over Garths death Robby proposes a toast to do whatever it takes to make it to the top of the street world. This is when the situation became really bad for Robby. He stole Johns television and later was convicted of robbery and murder. Their mother knew Robby was just acting out all of the anger that he has built up over the years so she sees the situation as someone being a product of random events that could not be controlled therefor her sons actions are justified. John shows his bad side when he takes the money from his insurance and gets reimbursed for T.V. and does not tell anyone. Even though Johns crime did not compare to Robbys crimes John still did the wrong thing and excused it by saying it was his surroundings that lead him to that point. I feel that John and Robby were wrong about being products of their environments. Not only were they wrong but they used it as an excuse to get away with everything that they have done. I realized that John knows the difference between right and wrong because he does not steal...
