Dan

Background
Dan is a high school sophomore at a school in the Mississippi delta. He and his brother, Steven, have been raised by their mother (Mom) since their father passed away some time previous. On the first day of school he gets into a fight with some bullies who are beating up another student. He is certain that he did the right thing but he is sure that his mother will punish him for fighting. When he tells her what happened, she is proud of him for fighting for the right reason.
