Round 22 –Will The Winner’s Win Round 22 –Will The Winner’s Win ? Look at the following statement: People are most comfortable spending time with others who are just like themselves.

Cross the street, hide, whatever it takes” (Philbrick 29-30). This evidence shows that Tony D. and his gang continue to bully others and yet they have no idea they are doing it. Additional evidence can support this claim from when Freak spots Tony D. and his gang right after the fireworks show. In this instance Tony D. said he was going to, “…Dice and slice, baby! Freak show time!”, - speaking of stabbing Freak and Max. (Philbrick 35). R
