After i finished reading the book and thought about patters, the most obvious one is death. His dad's best friend Eugene dies, his grandmother dies, and then his own sister dies. Losing that many people within that short of a time would be hard for anyone to deal with, but being a 14-year-old teenager makes that situation even harder. He mourned and was sad, but he found hope with his friends and especially Rowdy. Everyone has that one friend that no matter how many fights you get in with them, they will still be your best friend. Rowdy was this for Junior. I think that if he and Rowdy hadn't worked things out, the way he handled all these deaths would've been way different. Basically, that one friend can make a huge difference.
