It meant bryon was the one that talked someone into something and mark did the stealing part
He died trying to save Bryon and Mark after some gunshot.
Bryon and Mark drifted apart in the book "That Was Then, This is Now" due to differing priorities and values as they grew older. Mark became involved in drugs and criminal activities, while Bryon tried to distance himself from that lifestyle and focus on his future. This conflict ultimately drove them apart.
Well Bryon is the protagonist. So I would say the antagonist is Mark because of the conflict of growing up that he and Bryon face which tears them apart. Throughout the story, Bryon realizes how he needs to start behaving to get a job and be more responsible so he begins to grow up while Mark doesn't. Bryon realizes he's changing and Mark will never change because he has no sense of right form wrong. Initially, this bothers Bryon to the point he turns Mark into the police.
Bryon's encounter with Angela, leading to his realization of her pregnancy. Mark's involvement in drug dealing and the resulting violence. The betrayal between Bryon and Mark, leading to their falling out. M&M's overdose and Bryon's guilt over not being able to prevent it. Bryon's arrest after Mark sets him up with stolen property from the drug deal. The rift between Bryon and his parents due to his behavior and choices. Bryon's ultimate realization of the consequences of his actions and the importance of taking responsibility for them.
Loyalty is one theme of many. Bryon wants to be loyal to Mark, who is like his brother, but at the same time, Bryon doesn't like Mark's violence and drug usage. Later, Bryon is loyal to Cathy and M & M and so he must break his loyalty to Mark and have him arrested. Bryon really struggles with who to be loyal too throughout the novel. This is also a big theme in other S.E. Hinton books, including the Outsiders.
The dynamic characters in "That Was Then, This Is Now" by S.E. Hinton include Mark and Bryon. Mark's character evolves throughout the story as he becomes involved in criminal activities, while Bryon undergoes a transformation in his beliefs and friendships as he navigates the challenges of growing up in a tough environment.
Bryon calls the police after he learns that Mark has been selling drugs. Then Mark is sent to a reformatory where Bryon comes to visit him. Then Mark says that he hates Bryon and that once he gets out he will never see Bryon again.
Bryon Douglas Bryon Douglas is the narrator of the story, in which he tells how he and his foster brother, Mark, grew apart and how he made the decision to turn Mark in for dealing drugs. When they are kids, Bryon and Mark are inseparable troublemakers and love each other like brothers. When they are sixteen, however, they start to grow apart, as Bryon begins to become his own person, while Mark wants to cling to their mutual past. Still, Bryon and Mark care about each other. For his part, Bryon shows it by taking care of Mark after he gets cracked on the head with a bottle in a fight and by taking a beating for Mark by falsely claiming the blame for cutting off the hair of Bryon's ex-girlfriend, Angela. Bryon undergoes a major transformation in the story, which begins when he and Mark talk to Mike Chambers and Mike's story of getting beaten up and not wanting revenge resonates with Bryon. Bryon's feelings of moral responsibility increase when he feels guilty over the fact that Charlie lost his life while saving them. Bryon's emotional journey includes falling in love with Cathy, who is the first girl he actually cares about. When Bryon's mother ends up in the hospital for a month, he decides to clean up his act and get a job. When M&M runs away from home, Bryon helps Cathy find him and helps her take him to the hospital after he has a bad LSD hallucination. When he finds the drugs that Mark has been selling and connects them with M&M's condition, he decides once and for all that Mark does not know right from wrong and turns him in to the police. Although he is not sure he made the right choice, Bryon testifies against Mark. From this point on, Bryon becomes emotionally detached and pushes Cathy away. He does not see Mark again until a few months later, when he tries to apologize. However, Mark tells him he hates him and never wants to see him again. At the end of the story, not even the news that Mark has been sent to prison affects Bryon, who has lost the ability to care. He constantly replays the last year in his head, trying to figure out what would have happened if he had done something differently. He yearns for his youth, when he had all the answers.
Do You mean That Was Then... This Is Now (1985)???If yes, Emilio Estevez (Mark Jennings) and Kim Delaney (Cathy Carlson) acted in it...The main characters are: Bryon Douglas, Mark, Cathy, M&M, Angela.
In "That Was Then, This Is Now," Mark is involved in drug dealing and organizing a fight club. This behavior is shocking because it goes against his close friendship with the protagonist, Bryon, and showcases a darker side to his character.
