Junior’s decisions are strongly influenced by Rowdy, and even though Rowdy teases Junior at times they still keep a strong friendship with each other. Rowdy frequently makes suggestions that Junior follows through without an argument. Rowdy tells Junior, “they should climb that monster [tree]”, Junior, knowing they could get hurt, goes and starts climbing the tree. Junior had the choice to deny, but didn’t because he thought if he didn’t go through with Rowdy’s suggestion, it would ruin their friendship.
