A Thought Of Suspense

Thinner by Stephen King
pgs#(165-240)

The main character Billy, seems very motivated. What's making him so motivated is ever since he's been cursed, his friend Richard has motivated him to find the gypsies who did this to him and get the curse tooken off of him. So his motivation is to get this curse off of him and gain his weight back. The curse has him losing too much weight and now he looks anorexic and if it continues he's going to die. So his friend Richard has been by his side since this curse was put on him. Now Richard and Billy are very determined to find the gypsies who did this. They believe that if they can scare the gypsies, the gypsies will undo the curse and make Billy normal or better the way he used to be. But now Billy is really wondering if this plan he and Richard thought out will work. He's starting to think that if he and Richard go mess with the gypsies they will put a spell on Richard and kill him. So both men are second guessing about the plan they have come up with about fooling with the gypsies.
Now they have to either see if their plan will work , come up with a different plan, or just leave Billy to die. Now do you think Billy should just give up or go with the plan he and Richard came up with to get the gypsies to undo their spell?

I think that he shouldn't give up and go with the plan. Why give up and end it, after all what can he loose by trying. I rather try than give up on the spot. It doesn't hurt to have a little faith. Im sure he wants to continue to live longer, so why die now. He can't become a failure at something when there are options he can choose from. I hope that he will go with the plan and not give up

Yeah, if I was Richard, I might not risk my neck. That sounds like a pretty good friend.
