Sometimes, we do the psychologic tests. These test can ourself family, friend, love which is more important in our subconsciousness.

Novio Boy ,write by Gary Soto, in the play, main character Rudy didn’t know to date with a girl owing to lack of experience, so, he asked his family and friend Alex for help. Rudy listened to their opinion about the date, and borrowed money for the date. In the end, he had a perfect date, and get a kiss from her girl friend Patricia. Without his family’s support, his friend Alex’s idea, Rudy will not have a date like that with Patricia. Family, friends is like a chain, they all linked with one another, make you grow up, change the way to see the world, and keep change your attitude to life, they are all important. Family, friends are all important, they can make you grow up, change your attitude to life.
This one-act play, by turns heartwarming and heart-wrenching, follows Rudy from his desperate search for guidance from family and friends through the hilarities of.
If we were all so lucky to have a friend like Alex. He will suggest us honestly. In the scene one “Talk about color! I picked up this little secreto from Mama Rosa on the Spanish station” (page 2 ). I think Alex is a “big person” in Rudy’s life. He is like a beautiful Jewelry. And he can make Rudy’s life more exciting and basic on give him help. I’m jealous that he gives Rudy a more handsome exterior. When Rudy is in a tight squeeze, Alex is the first one to help Rudy solve the problem. Then, when Rudy’s everything is fine, he gives Rudy happy, he makeup Rudy’s life. In the last scene, Alex said “I’ll help you out. I got some stuff underneath my bed. We ninth grader got to stick together.” (page 71) This shows Alex is happy to help Rudy, and he’s see Rudy is like a family. I feel they just like the two cards in the cardhouse. They brace to each other. If one of them lose, the another one will lose . In the end of play Alex called Rudy “novio boy”. I believe he called Rudy like this because he knews Rudy spend lots of time, money on this date. As a friend, Alex help Rudy with idea and money, he help Rudy true activity, not some fake affection. In the event of Rudy didn’t get help from Alex, maybe he won’t
have enough money to pay the bill, then he still won’t know how to date, so at the present time maybe he won’t become a mature boy like this. They already become to one whole group, they are indivisible.
Familycan support you, give you confidence. An example that presented it is when author writes “Money is the last thing you have to worry about when you go on a date. Worry about what you have to say”(page 22). Uncle Juan gives Rudy advice when Rudy anxious about the date. When you confused on some things, your support group always can clear your mind, give you good suggestion. Whatever you have what kind of huge, complicate trouble or adversity, your family always like a hot chocolate, it doesn’t matter how cold the temperature of your environment are, at least your hand and your stomach is warm. The inseparable relatives can bring you power. Another example in the play that presented family can sustain you is “She’s a good-looking girl. Here dude, this might help(dips into his pocket for crumpled dollar bills)”(page 59). Uncle Juan didn’t have a regular job for a long time, he didn’t have too much money. But he can help Rudy with money, whereas didn’t have any complain. This shows Uncle Juan loves Rudy, he wants to help Rudy overcome the proble
m on money. Besides, family is like a color, it makes your life more colorful and bright. You will not feel powerless when you have a family. They are your gas station, sustain you, care about you. Family and friend is the most major thing that help us become an adult. They
are indispensable.
