How Does Bad Boy Change Walter's Life

In the book, Bad Boy it is filled with many important events in Walters life. The most important event is in the chapter 1954 where it says, “It was over. Quite simply over. The school year had ended” (187). Walter missed the graduation at his high school and while his peers had finished applying for what colleges he was going to he was left behind. This event is the realisation how bad his situation really is. Before he had known that he shouldn’t skip out on school but it wasn’t until the end of the chapter he received his consequences. This event changed the outcome of his life. While he might have gone to college he is stuck not having anything to do. If Walter had never skipped out on school, he probably would not have joined the war in
