Saints and Roughnecks

After reading Saints and Rougnecks and discussing the short story in class, I think that Stevenson has Saints and Roughnecks. The Saints in the story were the students who would get into the least trouble so they could get out of school earlier and cut class; however, they wouldn't get in trouble for it. The Roughnecks were the students who always got into trouble so they had a bad reputation with the school and never got away with anything. I think there are Saint and Rougnecks at school the students, the students that are Saints would be the kids who always do their homework, never get into trouble with the school have better reputations and whenever that student would be sent to their dean they might have a lesser punishment than someone who is perceived as a Roughneck because of their reputation in class and with the authority.

i agree with what you were saying about the saints and the roughtnecks. I think that our schoolconsistes of both the saints and the roughtnecks and I agree that the saints can get away with more if they go to their deans then the roughtnecks can get away with.
