If you have an apple in one hand and a rotten apple in the other, which is most likely to be thrown away? This simple, yet analogical question holds a deeper meaning than you are willing to understand. Allow me to explain, jury.
Meet Ponyboy Curtis. A young boy of fourteen, parents dead, and living in the custody of their brothers. If you ask me, these aren't very convincible factors in a home for raising a blossoming adolescent. I believe he should be sent to a foster home, but of course, you could beg to differ.

Most of you may assume I have a cold heart, but I do not. Simply hold statistics over sympathy. Should Ponyboy be allowed to stay with his brothers, or become something greater with everything he needs?
Hopefully, this can sway ends and make them meet because I have made a decision, and it is to let Ponyboy Curtis
