  6. I think Darcy has the strongest and most influential relationship with Gary because he canges his life. Gary's attitude hardens to his Dad when he goes to Dumby's funeral and doesn't go fishing. I think Gary is friends with Pickles but not best friends. His relationship with Cathy doesn't go far because he doesn't go to the BBQ' and instead goes to Dumby's funeral.

  10. Darcy has a lot of influence on blacky. Blacky will always come to darcy, he will listen to what he has to say and take in his advice. This is because they are good friends who trust and feel comfortable around eachother to talk about things blacky doesnt understand.
    When blacky realises he can stand up for himself, and its not the end of the world, he hardens up and does what he fells is right. He does it for Dumby.
    Even though pickles and Blcky are very different, they are still good mates.
    Cathy leaves before he could properly get to know her.
