The Bad Place

The words “pizza taxi” may seem totally random to you, but to me and two of my best friends, Dani and Jaime, it’s a symbol of our crazy, unpredictable friendship. In the novel, How to be Bad, the three main characters, Jesse, Vicks, and Mel, resemble us in many ways; fears, personalities, beliefs, and relationships. My friends and the book crew of girls are perfect examples of how opposites attract. The resemblances start with Jaime, and Jesse being an uptight, thoughtful, “Christian Pants”,…

ordinary Christian. Back then, I did not ascertain that as a slap in the face to God.

It is important that Kindred says this, because Kindred is representing all the friendships and family who the audience might find a connection with and find comforting, but makes them realize that the good or bad deeds that have been done by their own kindred will not salvage them from death.

Rules should also be respected by competitors and…
