         In class we are reading the interesting book, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, I think that Steven is very inconsiderate. I think he is inconsiderate for two reasons. I also think, that later in the book, he will probably change to become a more considerate person. These are the reasons why I think Steven is an inconsiderate person, and why I think he will change to be more considerate.

         The first reason I think Steven is inconsiderate is because he doesn't respect his brother. he just thinks of him as a pain in the neck, and even though Jeffy loves Steven, Steven could care less about him. for example, in the beginning of the second chapter, Jeffy falls off his stool, and hits his nose on the counter, and has to go to the hospital because his nose was bleeding so much. when Steven gets to school, he's not trying not to worry, he's trying not to even THINK about him, which I think is inconsiderate. Adding on to that thought, all CAN think about is Renee Albert, and how he didn't brush his teeth that morning. Another example is when Steven set Jeffy on that stool, even when his mom told Steven not to and he did anyway. The result: Jeffy fell off the stool and wound up going to the hospital.

        The second reason I think Steven is inconsiderate is he is rude to his friend Annette who is always friendly toward Steven, and may or may not have a crush on him. Unfortunately, Steven doesn't feel the same way. While he thinks of her as a friend, he will snap at her if he is in a bad mood, even if she is trying to be nice. For example, at the end of the second chapter, when she they were on the bus, she brought up the topic of Jeffy, asking if he was okay, and what happened. As I said before, Steven didn't want to think about that subject, and started snapping at her, even though she was just trying to be nice.

       Last but not least, this is the reason I think Steven will change from being inconsiderate, to more considerate about others, and being more selfless. I think Steven will become more considerate because, at the end of the second chapter, Steven comes home after the fight with Annette, and finds his mom telling him he is not in trouble, and that Jeffy is sick. Instead of feeling relieved, Steven found out that his little brother had Leukemia, or blood cancer. I think this will make Steven more considerate because he will have to be kind and caring for his little brother, and that might make him be nice to other people too.

       All in all, this is why I think Steven is inconsiderate, and that he will get more considerate.
