Victor hates his life. Tired of feeling miserable, Victor takes a bottle of his mother's sleeping pills—only to wake up in the hospital.
Bull is angry, and takes all of his rage out on Victor. His grandfather often gets drunk and hits him. So Bull tries to defend himself with a loaded gun.
Victor and Bull end up as roommates in the same psych ward. There they have to examine not only the problems in their lives, byt their relationship with each other.

Bullying is a very real and often dangerous behavior that a lot of our kids are having to deal with today. Read a book (100 pages or more) that centers around a bully or someone that is being bullied. How was it handled by the victim? Did he or she have the support of friends, family or school officials? How was it finally resolved? If you can't find one book of 100 pages or more, you may read several books as long as they all concern bullying, how it was handled, if there was a support system for the victim, and how it was ultimately resolved. If you read several books, the combined page total must be 100 pages or more. Comment on your findings and post covers of ALL the books that you read for this task.
