Describe a Character: Keith "Some Kind of Wonderful"

  1. -Keith's family consisted of his father, mother, two sisters and himself. He didn't get along with one of his sisters.
    -He was walking on the track and he didn't desperately dodge a speeding train trying to run him down in the movie. Juging from this, his character was reckless in the extreme or liked showing off, as was the way with adolescent boys.
    -He had a friend who had a boyish and charismatic personality.
    -He secretly loved one girl who attended the same school so he was drawing her face in the library.

    1. Nice job observing things about the movie! I am glad that you have a unique opinion about the scene where he walks towards the train - I think everyone has different opinions about that scene. I only disagree with you about one thing - I don't think he is nice to his younger sister! That's okay, though, because she went into his room. Do you have sisters and brothers? Do you fight sometimes?

    1. Yes, nice job! I'm glad to see another opinion/adjective about Keith walking on the railroad. Maybe he's reckless or brave, maybe he's depressed. Until we see the rest of the movie, it is hard to have a final opinion, but it's good to make a guess!
