1. Rob feels devastated about his father's conviction for murder. Rob's mother Jackie feels differently because she has warned him to desist from drug dealing, but he refuses. Somehow, one tends to agree with Jackie because, without being judgmental, if a man can do illegal businesses, he can also re-channel the same energy to engage in legal activities, if only he chooses to.
2. From 13 years, Rob Peace was already engaged in drunkenness and taking and marketing illicit drugs, showing that he had imbibed the street lessons that his father tutored him on. As an intelligent boy, Rob Peace should have chosen the path his mother envisages for him. He could have used his natural intelligence to break the cycle of lack and moved up higher in his social life.
3. Rob's friendship with Victor strongly supports his choice to attend a private high school like St. Benedict instead of the local high school in his community to help Rob separate from his local friends.
4. Robert "DeShaun" Peace can be described as a young man with a promising future who decides to squander the opportunity to overcome by allowing the street to subdue him.
Initially, Robert would appear to be a good friend, given his natural leadership skills. However, he mishandles this opportunity by listening more to his Dad than his Mum.
Thus, Rob should not have struck a friendship with his Dad's friends. He should have followed his mother's aspirations to achieve better social ranking with his academic brilliance and attendance at a prestigious college.
