How important are the following characters in the film Rumble fish:
Rusty James: First of all he is the most important character since he is the main character. He is a very lonely child; he acts as he is bigger than his real age. His only goal is to be alike the motorcycle boy.
The Motorcycle Boy: He is Rusty James brother. He is a young man that doesn’t have a job or even a goal. He is a very mysterious man; you can never know what he was thinking about. He always tries to protect and help his brother since Rusty James is always involved in fights.
Steve Hays: He is very different from the rest. He likes to study and has goals. He is the one that help Rusty James at school with his assignments. He is always with him until he notices that he wants other things for his future. He was Rusty James best friend but then they never met again because both of them wanted different things.
Patty: She is the best looking girl at school and maybe at town. She seems to be a very good daughter and also a very good student. I think that Rusty James really liked her but he didn’t notice till she broke up with him. She likes very rude guys, very different from her personality.
Cassandra: She is totally in love with the motorcycle boy. She seems to be a drug addict because of her attitudes and the way that she speaks. Rusty James really hates her because I think he was jealous. Also because he thinks that she isn’t enough pretty and she is very addict to drugs.
Patterson: He is a cop of town that hates both brothers but essentially he hated the motorcycle boy the most. He was always looking if someone commits disturbance or an illegal act. Finally he made what he wanted, make the motorcycle boy disappear. He shot him because he entered to the pet shop and liberated all the animals of the store.
Smokey: At first he was in Rusty James gang. He was one of his closest friend but not his best friend. He seems to be very intelligent because he think very carefully before acting. He likes Patty, Rusty James ex girlfriend, and finally she is her girlfriend. Smokey takes Rusty James place, now he is the toughest guy of town. Now he is the one that everyone respects.
Rusty's parents: Well Rusty James mother abandoned them when they were very little maybe because she was tired of being a mother and she wanted to live new adventures. Rusty father is an alcoholic man that doesn’t take care of his children. He wasted all of his time drinking in bars and being drunk. He started to drink when his wife abandoned him. I think that he was so depressive that he couldn’t hang his Childs.
