#520. Many lessons can be learned from the story “Sucker.” The narrator at the end of the story has learned his lesson, and will never act that way that he did to his cousin Richard again. He calls him sucker because he nearly falls for anything and everything that the narrator says to him. I learned not to be so rude to people that look up to you, because when you really need them later in your life they will never be there for you. The strange look Sucker had on his face when he was around the narrator meant that things between them could never be the same. I also learned not to look up to somebody to much, because when they find somebody they look up to they will leave you alone. The narrator got left alone by Maybelle and got very angry. He took out all his anger on his cousin/ brother at one time to feel better. This taught me to not be disrespectful to anybody and also taught me to not say awful things to people. After the narrator said this to Sucker, Sucker thought that’s what the narrator really thought about him inside. Sucker and the narrator could never truly be good friends, almost like brother ever again. Which left the narrator being the “Sucker,” and Sucker being Richard.
The lesson that I learned from the story ,“Sucker”, is that I should treat my brother with more respect then I should. When my brother makes fun of me, I do not get sad, nor depressed, I make a witty remark to him. I know that I bother my brother. We sometimes fight for something stupid like, you drank my coke! I sometimes despise my brother with I my heart, but sometimes I can see sparks of niceness in him. One day, I asked him, “would you take a bullet for me, and give up your life for me”? He replied, “ of course”. Then he made a witty remark, “ hopefully you would do the same”. I said, “ Of course”. I do love my brother, even tho part of me hates him. This story made me realized how lucky I should be to have a brother, and I should not waste time arguing with him.
What we can learn from “Sucker” is that treating others bad can cause big trouble. The way Maybelle treated Pete was unacceptable, but he toke it. I think the spirit of Maybelle’s behavior controlled Pete and did the same thing to Sucker. “Sucker” shows how we should all use the golden rule. If you don’t know, the “Golden Rule” is, “Treat others they way you wanted to be treated.” We also learned that little things can make BIG changes. If you look at Sucker at the beginning, you can see that he is a small, innocent boy, Then if you look at him after the big blowout, he is meaner and bigger. Pete made Sucker into a monster. I say that Pete was the real “Sucker”.
I think what we can learn from this story is that you need to NOT bring your problem you have with a friend into your family. you shoudn’’t bring these problems with friends into your family because that can make things worse between you and that family member. It can make it worse because you might yell at the person because of your problems with your friends and then you cant take back what you sad to that person and know things are just so worse between you and that person. it can also make things worse because you could say something to someone you love and know that person i hurt and you cant take back what you said. here is an example from the story “sucker” By Carson Mccllers, when Pete was having problems at school with a girl he liked a lot he would come home and lie down in bed. Pete would get mad and when his little cousin sucker would ask him something he would yell t him. One day this went to far and Pete yelled at sucker and told I’m off. Now as sucker gets older Pete trys to be friends with him but sucker i still mad and him and gives him a dirty look every time. that is why you shouldn’t bring your friends problems into your family. This is whats we should/could learn from this story.
What lessons can we learn from this: Well first off you can learn that if you respect people they will respect you back. You can also learn that if you yell at someone you cant expect them to forgive you when you want them to. Like say you yell at your brother or sister and then after some time has gone bye you say ‘’we cool’’ you cant expect them to say yeah we are cool. Or you yell at your mom or dad and they say your grounded you cant say I'm sorry can please ungrounded me no you have to do your time and they’ll forgive you maybe. Some say that i should of hit him or her instead of said what i said because when some people are mad they say hurtful things they actually don’t mean. Some other lessons you can get from the story ‘’Sucker’’ is that if its your family be somewhat nice to them and be friends. Or like what if you die and the last thing you said to them was i despise you or your nothing to me and they take that and hold it against you their whole life and you'll never be able to say sorry. Theirs like one more i think but it one word called respect and you always want to pass it on so every one is respectful. In the book ‘’ Sucker’’there's allot of hate towards the end because Maybelle was just a kiss butt to Pete because he got her nasty cigarettes and at the end she said i never ever cared for you. Also at the end Pete freaked out on Richard because Maybelle said that but in all this was a good book.
Lessons we can learn from the story is don’t treat people bad. If u treat people bad something bad can happen. Like in the story Pete treated Sucker really bad and know Sucker hates Pete. Another lesson we can learn is if someone treats you bad don’t take it out on other people. Like in the story Maybelle at the very end said some really mean stuff to Pete. Then later on Pete said some really mean stuff to Sucker. Now Sucker hates Pete and mean mugs him and he don’t talk to him. So that’s 2 lessons you can learn from that story. I think this is a really good lesson that we can learn from the story. We need to not treat people bad because then some other bad stuff can happen. I also think the other lesson is good because if someone treats us bad we shouldn't go and treat other people bad.
From: #520 To: #536 I agree with you, because whenever you do that it makes family and friends mad at you. Sometimes when you say that bad of a thing it can never be the same.
From the story “Sucker”,a lesson learned is be a good role model.Sucker was looking up to Pete,but Pete was constantly annoyed by Sucker.The way people act towards other people can change our perspectives about life.When you think of a role model certain things like successful and caring.Pete is acting this way towards Sucker this way because of Maybelle.She doesn't treat Pete very well.I personally wouldn't want to be treated the way Maybelle treats Pete.A connection between Sucker and Maybelle is Pete.If Pete hadn't met Maybelle,he would show Sucker how much he cared for him and they wouldn't have such a negative relationship.That is my lesson from the story “Sucker”.
From: #520 To: #518 I agree with you, because being respected feels very good. So when you respect other people it also makes them feel very good about themselves.
I agree with you treating other people bad can cause big trouble. I also think the way Maybelle treated Pete was mean. I also think we should all use the Golden Rule
I think that is one of the best saying in the world! The saying is "Treat people the way you want to be treated". I would like if people treated the same way they treat me, because I think I am very nice to people. I think he is not going to call him sucker anymore.
I agree. I need to start respecting my brother more than I do now. I think we all should start respecting each other, because one day we're going to need each other.
510 A lesson you can get from the story “Sucker” is to never like someone too much because you can ruin a family relationship. Also to always take care of family before friends. One example in the story is when Maybelle doesn’t talk to Pete so he gets mad at Sucker for no reason. After that happen their family relationship ended. Then he turned in to a “monster”. Sucker shows us all how we should use the “Golden Rule”. Which is Treat others how you want to be treated. Also when the story starts Sucker is a small, innocent little boy. Last example is when Pete said he would’ve rather punched Sucker than say all those things to him. But he couldn’t because Sucker was only 12. In this story there are a lot of lessons to be learned but the main one is Treat people how you want to be treated. In the end I think Pete was the actual “Sucker”.
534 I think we can learn a lot of lessons we can learn “Sucker” are treat others with respect. If you expect respect then you better give respect. When my sister and me fight the way how it starts is by disrespecting each other. For example we call each other names. I think people should be nice to other people. When you trick someone into something dumb or hurt someone you should say sorry. If you have a lot of respect for people then it means you are a better person. Also you make more friends if you have more respect. When you treat others with respect then they will most likely get respect back.
I think we should all be good role models. Even though its hard to be a good role model we should all try to do it. We shouldn't set a bad example for people that are younger then us. we should set a good example for them.
Some lessons that could be learned are never believe every thing you hear. Sucker could have avoided a lot of pain if he did not always believe Pete. Another thing that could be learned is if you don’t have any thing nice to say don’t say it. Pete would not have to say sorry or face any regret about what he said. Sucker would not hate him if he had just shut up. Also, if Maybelle did not say what she said to Pete none of this would have really happened. One more lesson is you cant by friends. Sucker bought a bunch of things for Pete witch Pete really did not want from Sucker. Sucker could have dodged all the awkwardness between then. All in all, there are plenty of lessons to be learned but here are some above.
#502 The lessons that we can learn from “Sucker” are that when you have a related family member you need to treat them with respect and treat them how you want them to treat you. Also, another lesson that you can learn from reading the story “Sucker” is that when or if they ever look like a nerd just tell them instead of thinking it and making fun of them behind their back. Another lesson that can be learned by reading this story is that if you and someone else ever get in a fight, don’t say things that you can never take back because you don’t want to have to regret something that you’ve said when time passes by. Another lesson that can be learned by this story is that you should never say something about someone when they are younger that will possibly change when they get older. Also, if you have a crush on someone but that person sees you invisible, be careful what you say around and to them because then they may never like you back. So, those were some of the lessons that we can learn by reading the story “Sucker” and now I am going to tell you about some of the things that happened in the story that we can use these lessons for. Some examples of things that happened in the story that you can use some of these lessons for are, in the story Pete yells at Sucker and said things he may regret when he got older. That is something you should never ever do to someone especially not one of your family members. Another example from something in the story is that Pete had a crush on a girl named Maybelle who a lot of guys had a crush on but she saw Pete invisible, then Pete started talking to her but he had to always be aware and careful what he said around her otherwise she maybe would’ve still saw him invisible. That’s a good thing that Pete was watching what he said around Maybelle because she may of never started talking to him if he had said the wrong statements to her. These lessons can be important to some people because they can help a lot of people in many different ways. All in all, these were some of the lessons that I think could be learned from reading this story called “Sucker”.
From: #520 To: #512 I agree with treating your brother/sister good, because it is important to have a good relationship between family. It also helps your childhood without so much stress.
to534 from 536 i agree you do have to treat people with respect because in the end that's the right way to go. Also how do you get that apple symbol in your writing??? please tell me.
504 What we can learn from the story is that don't treat people bad. If u treat people bad things will happen. In the story Pete was rude to Sucker and Sucker does not like Pete that well. Another lesson is if someone is being mean don’t treat others mean because then you are going to be lonely because every one does not like u. Those are two lessons for use to learn so we have a better life. The lesson I like the most is dont treat others bad and others will treat u bad so be more nice.
I agree with the, "…don't take it out on other people,"phrase. Sometimes you just get mad and just shout it at the next person who talks to you. Sometimes brothers/sisters start to transform into Sucker, and we need to fix it before it's too late.
“Sucker“ By Carson McCollers A lesson I think can be learned from this story is to always respect the people around you or you will regret what you have done. The story “Sucker” shows two relationships Pete and Sucker and Pete and Maybelle. In Pete and Suckers relationship it starts out Pete always rudely harassing Sucker and having him do things that are not right and could hurt him.The relationship then became a closer sweeter relationship when Maybelle started to pay attention to Pete. The comes Maybelle and Pete`s relationship takes shape. In the beginning it is enough for her to talk to him and smile at him to be happy. Then Maybelle got a new boy friend and started to avoid him and then would not talk to him. Pete and Suckers relationship then turned bad because the actions Maybelle made were upsetting Pete and he toke it out on Sucker thus creating the horrible relationship between Sucker and Pete at the end of the book. In the end Sucker has gone from quiet and pushable to strong and untouchable. Pete also felt as though he lost his space cause Sucker and his friends were always in his room when it was just Sucker and Pete he would leave because it was uncomfortable for him to be in the room alone with him. Pete and sukers relationship seams to not be fixable to Pete so I believe they will stay this way. by 508
To: #512 From: #502 I agree with you because I need to treat my brother with more respect too. We always argue and fight with each other and it gets annoying and we need to be there for each other. We all should treat others with respect even if you don't like that person in my opinion.
@512 This is sweet and so right. The lesson you just tought me is so much more then what i could have learned from a story. To think that if you are mean or in a fight with them you could loose someone anyday and not be able to say sorry. 508
True, Sucker was a sucker. He got pick on and did not do any thing about it. You could say he the other cheek. When Pete crossed the line for the last time Sucker finally cracked.
532 What I have Learned from the book Sucker is that even if you are mad you cant take that out on the people that look up to you and care about you the most. And that's one thing that the narrator did to loose someone close.The narrator named Pete who was 19 years old had feel in love with a girl named Maybelle who he thought was a bright girl,but one day Maybelle and Pete had an argument. Once Pete got home, he sat in a chair and looked out the window.Pete's brother whom name was Sucker tries talking to Pete but all Pete does is gives him rude comments and tells Sucker how annoying he is and ow pathetic he can be. Now Pete has lost Maybelle and now he has lost his brother because truly some words can hurt expecially when You mean them.
To: #540 From: #502 I agree with you because I think that being a good role model is a good lesson the learn. This is a good lesson the learn because when you are a role model to someone, they respect you a lot. Also you need to treat them the way you want to be treated which makes you a good person to them.
Some of the things we can learn from “Sucker” are one family over comes friends. The reason this is, is because look what happened when Pete let his own anger and frustration over take him. He let a very strong bond between he and Sucker had go to waste over something a stuck up girl, who used him, said. Two, don’t always believe what people tell you. Look where it got Sucker and Pete. Pete believed what Mabelle told him when she was using him, and the only thing that did for him was hurt him. Sucker believed everything Pete said to him when he was mad at him self, and look what happened. Sucker was so mad that he never would know how sorry Pete was. Third and finally, no matter how angry, frustrated, depressed, or regretful you are watch what you say; your going to regret it even more later. Pete said things that he regretted and now he can never apologize to Sucker. He cant take back what he said, and now he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.
From:526 There can be many lessons learned from this reading. All different kinds of lessons as well, and they are good lessons and easy to follow. One lesson that can be learned from the story “Sucker” is you should be nice to everyone. Even the people you do not like, it can end better if you do it like this. You should not act a certain way because of one person. Another lesson that i learned is if you treat others bad then you will be treated bad. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Dont be mean to someone just because you are bigger or older because if you are bigger and older and you get in trouble, then you will be treated that way. If you act like an adult and you get in trouble with the law, then you will be treated like an adult and probably go to jail. So act your age and be nice and better things will come.
From: 514 To: 508 I think you hit the nail on the head in your explanation, but you have to remember their are other things that go along with respect. Some of these things is watch what you say, family first, and say what you need to say even though it might be hard. Those are some thing Pete didn't think about. That's why Pete's and Sucker's relationship was so bad at the end. Anyway, love the comment. P.S You spelled took wrong. :)
I think sucker was about a boy that was embarrassed,humiliated,misunderstood.for most of his life.He tried to be like his cousin but most of the time his cousin did not want him around.His cousin had problems to.His cousin liked this girl but the girl did not like him. So he took his anger out on sucker.But sucker changed throughout the story.At one point Pete (the cousin) said it looks like sucker is growing up every second.Sucker started to get more friends.Pete made sucker change into a different person.

I think we can learn a lot of lessons we can learn “Sucker” are treat others with respect. If you expect respect then you better give respect. When my sister and me fight the way how it starts is by disrespecting each other. For example we call each other names. I think people should be nice to other people. When you trick someone into something dumb or hurt someone you should say sorry. If you have a lot of respect for people then it means you are a better person. Also you make more friends if you have more respect. When you treat others with respect then they will most likely get respect back.

The lessons that we can learn from “Sucker” are that when you have a related family member you need to treat them with respect and treat them how you want them to treat you.

I agree with the, "…don't take it out on other people,"phrase. Sometimes you just get mad and just shout it at the next person who talks to you. Sometimes brothers/sisters start to transform into Sucker, and we need to fix it before it's too late.
“Sucker“ By Carson McCollers
A lesson I think can be learned from this story is to always respect the people around you or you will regret what you have done.
The story “Sucker” shows two relationships Pete and Sucker and Pete and Maybelle. In Pete and Suckers relationship it starts out Pete always rudely harassing Sucker and having him do things that are not right and could hurt him.The relationship then became a closer sweeter relationship when Maybelle started to pay attention to Pete.
The comes Maybelle and Pete`s relationship takes shape.
In the beginning it is enough for her to talk to him and smile at him to be happy.
Then Maybelle got a new boy friend and started to avoid him and then would not talk to him.
Pete and Suckers relationship then turned bad because the actions Maybelle made were upsetting Pete and he toke it out on Sucker thus creating the horrible relationship between Sucker and Pete at the end of the book.
In the end Sucker has gone from quiet and pushable to strong and untouchable.
Pete also felt as though he lost his space cause Sucker and his friends were always in his room when it was just Sucker and Pete he would leave because it was uncomfortable for him to be in the room alone with him.
Pete and sukers relationship seams to not be fixable to Pete so I believe they will stay this way.

Well, I do not think that is statement is true. I mean there is rude people in this world. If you respect a bully they will still not respect you.

I agree with you because I need to treat my brother with more respect too. We always argue and fight with each other and it gets annoying and we need to be there for each other. We all should treat others with respect even if you don't like that person in my opinion.

I agree with you. Never believe anything you hear until you know it's true. Also Don't say anything that's not nice.
@512
This is sweet and so right.
The lesson you just tought me is so much more then what i could have learned from a story.
To think that if you are mean or in a fight with them you could loose someone anyday and not be able to say sorry.

True, Sucker was a sucker. He got pick on and did not do any thing about it. You could say he the other cheek. When Pete crossed the line for the last time Sucker finally cracked.

What I have Learned from the book Sucker is that even if you are mad you cant take that out on the people that look up to you and care about you the most. And that's one thing that the narrator did to loose someone close.The narrator named Pete who was 19 years old had feel in love with a girl named Maybelle who he thought was a bright girl,but one day Maybelle and Pete had an argument. Once Pete got home, he sat in a chair and looked out the window.Pete's brother whom name was Sucker tries talking to Pete but all Pete does is gives him rude comments and tells Sucker how annoying he is and ow pathetic he can be. Now Pete has lost Maybelle and now he has lost his brother because truly some words can hurt expecially when You mean them.

I agree with you because I think that being a good role model is a good lesson the learn. This is a good lesson the learn because when you are a role model to someone, they respect you a lot. Also you need to treat them the way you want to be treated which makes you a good person to them.

Some of the things we can learn from “Sucker” are one family over comes friends. The reason this is, is because look what happened when Pete let his own anger and frustration over take him. He let a very strong bond between he and Sucker had go to waste over something a stuck up girl, who used him, said. Two, don’t always believe what people tell you. Look where it got Sucker and Pete. Pete believed what Mabelle told him when she was using him, and the only thing that did for him was hurt him. Sucker believed everything Pete said to him when he was mad at him self, and look what happened. Sucker was so mad that he never would know how sorry Pete was. Third and finally, no matter how angry, frustrated, depressed, or regretful you are watch what you say; your going to regret it even more later. Pete said things that he regretted and now he can never apologize to Sucker. He cant take back what he said, and now he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.

There can be many lessons learned from this reading. All different kinds of lessons as well, and they are good lessons and easy to follow.
One lesson that can be learned from the story “Sucker” is you should be nice to everyone. Even the people you do not like, it can end better if you do it like this.
You should not act a certain way because of one person. Another lesson that i learned is if you treat others bad then you will be treated bad. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Dont be mean to someone just because you are bigger or older because if you are bigger and older and you get in trouble, then you will be treated that way. If you act like an adult and you get in trouble with the law, then you will be treated like an adult and probably go to jail. So act your age and be nice and better things will come.

I think you hit the nail on the head in your explanation, but you have to remember their are other things that go along with respect. Some of these things is watch what you say, family first, and say what you need to say even though it might be hard. Those are some thing Pete didn't think about. That's why Pete's and Sucker's relationship was so bad at the end. Anyway, love the comment.
P.S You spelled took wrong. :)

I for sure agree with 514. Having Respect is one thing but giving it is a big thing.

Sucker
I think sucker was about a boy that was embarrassed,humiliated,misunderstood.for most of his life.He tried to be like his cousin but most of the time his cousin did not want him around.His cousin had problems to.His cousin liked this girl but the girl did not like him. So he took his anger out on sucker.But sucker changed throughout the story.At one point Pete (the cousin) said it looks like sucker is growing up every second.Sucker started to get more friends.Pete made sucker change into a different person.
