In the Story “On the Bridge” there was seth. Seth was with his friend Adam on top of the bridge just hanging out but Adam started smoking a cigarette and then Seth started to smoke one too, it was his first cigarette he had ever smoked. But he did because he wanted to look cool like how adam was doing it. He also was wearing a jean jacket that he had ran through the washing machine to make it look old and tried to make it have a color on it like blood to look like it was worn through a bunch of fights to match with adams leather jacket that had everything that seth was trying to do with his jacket.
In the story Adam and Seth were on the bridge talking about how adam got into a fight in the pizza place with someone and how he’s kicked out of there and how the cops are already out on the look for him because he’s in a lot of trouble. But in the story it seems that seth doesn't want to do anything like that or even be in that position because he knew that his parents would be mad at him for doing those things like Adam like smoking, fighting, and running from the police etc. you could tell that he doesn’t want to do anything like that because he’s always trying to hide his jean jacket from his parents by putting it in the garage before he walks into his house.

In the novel, The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson, the author capitalizes upon society’s expectation of a character to emphasize the struggle to achieving his goals. Ian, one of the central characters in the plot line, is heavily impacted by these expectations, which hold a substantial influence upon his decision’s regarding his future. To teenagers an expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future, is nothing but a restriction upon them. Ian believes he is contained within these expectations; to the point where he does not wish to follow this given path. In a time of adolescence, teenagers are compelled by the strong desire to denounce that which is expected of them; Ian is no exception to this. Societies expectations create a negative influence upon Ian’s struggles to achieve his goals.

Moving on, Lowry uses foreshadowing in the story to show the reader that Jonas is breaking free of his community's "brainwash". This helps apply to the theme man vs. society because it really is Jonas against his community. One example of foreshadowing is when Jonas sees the apple "change" (Lord). He is confused on what is wrong with it so he takes it home, during that time he breaks rules. No matter how much Jonas studied the apple, he could not find the "change" that he saw. This foreshadows Jonas's ability to "see beyond". Also, this shows that Jonas stands out amongst the people of his community because only a select few are able to detect this "change". Also, Lowry ...

...new, could help you do that” (14.84). The style is confusing having short sentences but that’s what makes the story interesting. Your read Clay’s thoughts so, they shouldn’t be perfect. When we think it’s not always logical, so for Jay Asher to explain Clay’s thoughts and what Hannah is saying makes the story all the more interesting.

Seth did just that. He couldn’t wait to get his clothes on again and even get the hell out of there, but he needed answers. The time waiting for Dr. Stevens was grueling and anxiety filled, his thoughts all over the place and gamboled. He wasn’t sure of what it was he was expecting. There would be the obvious: quit smoking, quit drinking, and start taking better care of yourself. And, there very well may be a new health issue as a result of those things. Either way, he didn’t give a damn, not really. Seth guessed he knew what he wanted. He wanted to know if he was crazy or if it was actually possible that the ghost of a little girl named Kayla had visited him.
