Bob is a friend of Frank. Frank and Rick are good friends and have agreed that if either is ever in a fight, the other boy will come to the rescue. Most of the boys in the class have obtained weapons in case of a fight. Greg, Ira and Alan are also good friends and have an agreement to fight if one is attacked. Frank and Greg hate each other because Greg beat up Frank a few years ago. Greg is jealous of Bob because Bob is a better swimmer on the school team. Sam and Rick are good friends as their backgrounds are similar, and Alan is always picking on Sam. Rick will protect Sam from Alan. Barney is small in size and gets picked on; he has convinced Bob to help him if he is ever attacked. All the boys love Cathy; each one thinks he is best and deserves her.

32. Rupert Brooke ~ “The Soldier”
If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
