CP - "Life was rotten, there were no heroes..."

In Chapter 16, young David Caroni meets with Brother Leon. By the end of the conversation, Caroni realizes the following: "that life was rotten, that there were no heroes, really, and you couldn't trust anybody, not even yourself" (Cormier 115).

On your blog, please do the following:

1. Explain why Caroni has come to this conclusion. What does he mean? Find at least 1 piece of textual evidence to support your answer. (One paragraph; please follow rules of formal writing--no first person pronouns, use present tense verbs, use correct citations.)

2. Write about whether you agree or disagree with Caroni. Why do you feel the way you do? (One paragraph; first-person pronouns encouraged, as this is personal reflection.)
