We watched part of a six hour long documentary in Etymology class because we had a substitute teacher. The movie was called Country Boys, and was about two teenage boys attending the David School, who are tangled in their quite troubled lives. Both of these boys struggle with their family life and school and most everything about themselves, as they grow up and mature in a hard to live in kind of place.
The first guys’ name is Cody. Cody’s father killed his wife (Cody’s step-mother) and then himself. Cody had to endure many hardships, but later on lived with a loving old lady named Liz (his grandmother). Cody talks very slowly and uses low diction in the way he speaks. He seems to have troubles in school with behavior and academics.
The next guy is Chris. Chris lives in a trailer home with his parents and little sister. His dad isn’t a role model for him so he doesn’t exactly know what to strive for. Chris speaks very slowly as well, but seems to attempt to sound knowledgeable to some extent. He has somewhat bright ideas for his future and does his best to accomplish his dreams.
