Okay, I just got an idea in my head. Maybe Becky could end up being a bad influence. In the beginning it seems good as she brings spontaneous life tendencies to Gilbert's life and helps him to see life in a new light... but not having any ties to anything could definitely become bad and end up being a dis-service to Gilbert. Maybe she isn't perfect for him after all.. We all know Sunny is his true love  |

EEE!  You're so sweet, Roo! I'll go along with that! I really do agree with your statement though, because Gilbert's family has been his life for so long, and Endora too, and Becky pulls him away from all of it. Thats gotta have some effects. Good thread idea, Ms. Roo! |

Good thread idea Roo!  I do think that Becky could have had too much of an influence on Gilbert, after all, whether it's fair or not, he does have responsibilities which Becky does not seem to value or understand. I do think that Becky broke the cycle that could have had Gilbert becoming a figure like his father or Mr Carver though, which is definitely a good thing! |

Yes that is a good point Lynx.
But she also ripped the stability out of his life entirely. Everything that he had known was flipped upside down. A sudden change like that is bound to have draw backs.
Interesting to ponder what those might be.

 Roo you bring up the most interesting topic starters! I think it's a catch 20 whenever you give up your life to share it with someone else. You can never know until you take a chance on how they will impact you. You have to be willing to sacrifice in order to get the pleasure of a fruitful friendship.  At least, I think so. |

I think so too BP  If you're not prepared to make sacrifices then a relationship, whatever kind, is never going to work. The chances you take in life are often the things that lead to the most amazing moments. I'm sure Gilbert is glad he took a chance with Becky |

Yeah Lynx I'm sure for the most part he is. He seemed very intrigued (spelt?) with her and always had new things and places to look forward to with a lifestyle like that. |

I bet he is glad he made the choice he did.
Becky was so sweet, and she really did teach him a lot.
Like how when she asked him what he wanted and he kept listing off things he wanted for his family, not himself.
She taught him that it was OK to want things for himself too...a HUGE step for Gilbert.
She really helped him start living his own life, not everyone elses.
I'm sure he is grateful! ;D

Becky is half and half. She is good and bad. Good in the fact she taught Glibert it's okay to be a little selfish. And when agian she is bad in the fact she doesn't seem to understand Gilbert's Family is and probably still is even if he is gone a big part of him. She seems to be running away alot. What is she running away from? Plus everyone knows Sunny is his true love so she needs to back off.

I don't think Becky was a bad influence. She was just a lot different from Gilbert in fact they were complete opposites. Becky travelled a lot whereas Gilbert stayed in the same place all the time. Becky just opened Gilbert's eyes into how big the world really is and Gilbert liked the look of it.
