Quote #4

"Jesse is your dog, man," Calvin said. "Is he tripping?"

"I don't know, man," I said.

"I thought you were tight with him," Calvin said.

"I thought so too," I said. (2.52-2.55)

The first meeting of the Counts—when Rise is in disagreement with everyone else—is the first sign that something is really wrong. The other guys look to Jesse for explanation, but he has no idea what's going on.

Quote #5

On the way home I was thinking about C.J. and how easy it was to hang out with him. […] When we were together, there was never any tension between us.

That used to be the way it was with me and Rise. (3.23-3.24)

Things aren't so easy with Rise anymore. Lately, it seems like every time he and Jesse hang out, Jesse just feels annoyed. Rise has changed and Jesse just doesn't like him the way he used to.

Quote #6

"This means a lot to me," Rise said, "these pictures." (8.31)

Why do you think Jesse's work on Rise's story means so much to Rise? Is it about their friendship, or does Rise just like seeing himself on the page?
