Saints and Roughnecks

Reading the Article Saints and Roughnecks, there were students at Stevenson that clearly came to my mind that matched the descriptions of the Saints and Roughnecks. There are some kids that do well in school, are athletic, and treat adults with authority, but outside of the building they are quite different. And the same goes for roughnecks as well. I'm not sure if money is the main factor, but appearance certainly has a large impact. And money may play into the appearance that someone has. The students that come to school well dressed, with good hygiene, and sit attentively in class can seamlessly fool everyone. The students that are not well dressed and sit slumped do not have much expected from them, so they only need to live up to those few expectations. This can relate to the 30 days episode. Many People go to prison and they just become hardened criminals. And they return to their old ways because they have not been taught that anything more is expected of them. They have developed this image as a criminal and continue to live life with that appearance.
