Compare and contrast Jeannette’s life to Billy’s life?

Billy Deel was a very troubled young man. He was labeled a "juvenile delinquent," and had been known to torture and kill animals, steal, and vandalize the property of others. Billy thought of Jeanette as a girlfriend, but the feeling was definitely not mutual. Although Jeannette's life was chaotic, there was no malicious abuse and Jeannette felt some sense of belonging and grounding to family. I don’t think the same can be said for Billy.
