Question

Respond to the short response question with a minimum of SEVEN COMPLETE DETAILED SENTENCES.

In Ch 9, the Greasers are planning a rumble as revenge on the Socs, which Sir Francis Bacon feels is not worth carrying out. What are motivations and consequences of getting revenge (in general)? What consequences resulted from the rumble? Do you feel like the rumble was worth it? Do you feel like the Greasers got their revenge? Do you think Sir Francis Bacon correct or wrong about his feelings on revenge?

Answer 1

In the book in chapter 9 Sir Francis Bacon wants revenge on the socs. When you want revenge, it is usually driven by a feeling of defeat or betrayal. But it’s not the best way to solve your problems, since it most of the time becomes a revenge cycle, it becomes a habit, or it could come back to you. In the rumble there is a lot of pain and sadness. The rumble was definitely not worth it, since mostly everyone ended up injured and nothing was gained in the process. No they did not get their revenge, they became devastated even when done, it made things worse for all that matters. He was definitely wrong because he lost everything and gained nothing.
