Is Richard a bad boy? When should behavior be blamed on the person and when should it be blamed on the environment?
Richard in my opinion is not at bad boy because of the circumstances that he is in. His lack of love from his family members and his lack of knowlege are the two main reasons why he does certain things that people might think make him a "bad boy". When he lights that house on fire that is when this is an example of his lack of family love in his home. For if he had had more love in his family his parents probably would have kept more control over him. However he also has a lack of the knowlege that if he take fire out of the fireplace and puts it to the curtains the entire house will be aflame. So in this instance Richard this shows that Richard has a lack of both family love and lack of knowlege.
Another time that Richard is taken for a bad boy is when he says that stuff to his grandmother that is not all that appropriate. This demonstartes a lack of knowlege of what he is saying because it is apparent that he does not know that meaning. Also when his father leaves his mother and his whole family Richard feels the lack of family love that makes him. Richard is sometimes taken for a bad boy but that is only because he has a lack of family love and support and has a lack of knowlege of some things of the world.

Hey Ruth I totaly agree with you idea of Richard not being a bad boy, and the matter of him not being in a loveing family.
Thats a really cool point of view about him not having enough love in his family and that was the reason that he was good the things that people thought were bad.
I didn't think before of his lack of love making him a bad or bad person. I guess that without a loving family, he doesn't really know what good behavior should always look like.
i love your point of view! i agree with you about the lack of love in Richard's family and how it affects him. i didn't think of that at first! nice ideas!
