1 overview
-I see that Ruth had many things in his way like and because his parents were not there was the cause for all of that. He stole from his dad, chewed tobacco, and skipped school. Ruth had no one but himself and now look, he is know every where throughout Massachusetts.uth believed in himself. He may have started off wrong but he knew how to fix it slowly but surely. That's what counts.
