Kenny does not treat people better than Byron. Kenny is as big as a bully as Byron is. He has had multiple moments of rudeness. For example, Kenny hit Larry Dunn twice, Kenny laughed at Cody and Rufus when Larry made a rude joke to them, and when Byron got stuck to the mirror, Kenny had a wonderful time making fun of him.

The author mostly focused on telling us a story of the Watson family and not really any historical events. I really would've liked it if the book gave more information on civil rights and not just have one historical event happen at the end of the book. Adding some more facts and history would have made the book more interesting. All in all, the book The Watsons Go

“People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad” (Bobby Knight). When Coach Knight made this statement he meant that the way a person changes over time, changes situations as well.

That was until Morrie came back into his life and became his “ Coach” again after 16 years. Albom writes about the changes he has experienced throughout Morrie’s lessons by using personal anecdotes, flashbacks and creating pathos in order to portray himself as a dynamic character and how Morrie’s value of love changed Mitch throughout the whole story.

Scott changed the most because he went from being really shy at the beginning and then he got tougher and stopped the people that were bullying him. During the year this other kid named Vernon was bullying him since Scott got to the high school.
