*Characters in books, just like us, are complicated people. One would do an injustice to categorize a character in our stories with just one trait because it isn’t fair to dictate one trait to humans as well. (This is my claim) In the beginning of the realistic fiction story Popularity by Ruth Bambara, Will is longing to have friends. However, as the story progresses, Will becomes ruthless because of the choices he makes to become popular . There are many examples of this in the story.

In the beginning of the story, Will is longing to be popular. One example from the text is when he states, “It seems like only yesterday that we had all played kickball, dodgeball, and basektball together; and then one morning I woke to find that this happy democracy had devolved…” This shows that Will is longing to be popular because he is day dreaming about the old days where everyone was friends and played together as opposed to what recess is like currently, Will watching his old friends play without him. Another example of Will longing to be popular is when he thinks to himself, “Somewhere I knew that 10 year old boys weren’t supposed to spend recess circling oak trees.” This shows that Will is longing to be popular because he knew that he was being left out of the popular crowd, while they played at recess fun games, he and three other boys were left to pick four leaf clovers all by themselves.

As the story progresses, Will becomes ruthless because of the choices he makes to become popular. Text detail 1 and explain how this text detail supports your claim.
Text details 2 and explain how this text detail supports your claim.

In the beginning of Popularity, Will is longing to have friends. However, as the story progresses, Will becomes ruthless because of the choices he makes to become popular . Popularity isn’t all it is cracked up to be, next time you are outside, take a look around the blacktop, notice everyone around you. Ask yourself, if being popular is really worth the price?
