=That was Then, This Is Now: By S.E. HINTON =

 1.) ﻿Byron and Mark were best friends, but they considered themselves as brothers. They have been living together ever since the incident happened with Marks parents.  2.) ﻿ The two young people Byron met at the hospital was Mike Chambers who was beat up really bad when he was trying to take a girl home safely, and he also met Cathy ,M&M`s sister that works in the hospital cafeteria.  3.) ﻿ Byron and Charlie`s relationship is based on trust. This is because Charlie trusts Byron to pay the bar bill, but Charlie can get mad if they don`t pay it and threatened him that he would find him and get him in trouble.

 4.) ﻿ At the dance, Mark was trying to break up a fight between Curtis and some other kid and he gets hit in the head by a beer bottle, and has to go to the hospital for stitches.  5.) In Mark and Byron`s private conversations Byron started to notice that him and Mark think alike but Mark says thing and Byron just thinks them.

 6.) ﻿ Charlie was killed by two Texans by shooting him in the head, but was trying to shoot Mark and Byron for hustling their money out of them. After, Mark and Byron felt really guilty for being the reason Charlie died because if they haven`t hustled their money no one would be dead.   7.)One thing that Mark and Cathy have in common with each other is that they both love and care about Byron.  They also fight and think they are having a competition over Byron.

 ﻿ ﻿8.) ﻿Mark cut Angel`s hair off because she had someone go and beat up Curtis at the dance but actually hit Mark in the head with a beer bottle.   9.) ﻿In chapter 7 Byron discovered that Mark still thinks they are kids but Byron thinks the opposite.

 10.) ﻿ At Terry Jones house, Byron was beat up,almost killed by the Sherperd`s for cutting of all of Angels hair. This changed his attitude about fighting people and getting even.

I really enjoyed it towards the end because it got more interesting about their friendship. It teaches the reader that you should not look back in the past and think" if i did that instead I would not be feeling this way or ect."Also it shows you to enjoy what you have and do not ruin your life by being a bad example or using bad substances.
