Dare Can Everyone Change
Can Everyone Change?
Change is something that can happen to anyone. Changing someone is much harder than a person thinks, to change someone’s attitude is the biggest change you can get. This book Dare is about a 15, almost 16 years old named Darren Jameson, who is a bad boy. Dare changed throughout the book because of Laura’s strictness, him experiencing what jail could be like and lastly his younger brother Ty. These are the three most important reasons Dare changed the way he did.
Laura is a strict substitute at first but then turns into Dare and Ty’s legal guardian. Laura and Dare had a different perspective on almost everything. Dare could not stand Laura but slowly towards the end, he realizes the reason she is always yelling at him when

When Animal said, “welcome to the real world” that made dare realize that jail is not for him. He did not feel like he belonged in jail like Animal and Silk. Being a bad boy came with consequences, and he soon realized that.
Dare has a younger brother, Ty Jameson. Ty is the complete opposite of Dare. He is smart, shy, with curly blonde hair, everything that Dare is not. Without Ty Dare would not stay at Laura’s. Dare: “The only reason I am still at Laura’s is you.” Dare might act tough and strong, but inside he still has a soft spot for Ty, he always looks after him and even though he says one day he will leave Laura’s house he never does because he promised Ty he would not leave him. Ty keeps asking Dare to do the right thing when he is about to do something wrong; Dare shrugs it off but inside he feels guilty and regretful because he knows what he does is wrong. Ty changed Dare with his words and love for his brother.
Even though most people lost hope for Dare, he still changed for the better towards the end. Laura, the night in jail and his younger brother, made that happen. No one can be a bad boy and enjoy it, everyone has a story behind them that makes them who they are, Dare did not let that story define him and now has a story of his own to
