The gun by paul langan (bluford series)

A central idea in The Gun iswanting revenge usually creates more problems than it solves. One of the lessons Tyray learns by the end of the story is thatthe best way to deal with painful feelings is to share them with loved ones. When Tyray first met Darrell Mercer, Tyray considered Darrellthe perfect target for bullyingLark initially lends Tyray money because he says he needs tobuy his mother a necklace for her birthday. In a letter to Tyray, Warren says that hewants Tyray to avoid getting in trouble because prison is bad. When Tyray approaches Cedric, Len, Shamar, and Eddie, theytaunt him and throw his jacket onto a building. Bones reveals to Tyray that hehas cancer. The end of the story suggests that Tyray’s father will probablytry to spend more time talking to Tyray than yelling at him. We can infer that the next time Tyray see Lark, he will probablyapologize for having lied to her and tell her the whole truth. Based on the final scene between Tyray and Darrell, we can assume thatthe boys will no longer be enemies.
