In Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnen Blink is about Steven Alper, an eighth grader who describes himself as a "skinny geek". When Steven's brother Jeffery ends up being diagnosed with Leukemia, Steven has to make very mature decisions to keep his brother safe. Steven who loves to play the drums more than anything else went to his drum teacher and said to him that his family couldn't pay for drum lessons so he had made the decision to quit and even almost gave his "special sticks" to his drum teacher to make up for the payment of that week. Steven had to kick the girl of his dreams out of his house because she had a cold and that could badly effect his brother. Steven even went to the hospital with Jeffery when Jeffery didn't have his toy with him.
When Steven's family's financial position was down in the dumps, he made the decision to stop his drum lessons so that his family could save money.His life is all about the drums so this is a really mature choice for him to make. He wouldn't have done it to unless he really thought it was the right thing to do. This shows that Steven makes mature choices for his brother's well fare.
When Steven kicked the girl of his dreams out of his house my jaw dropped. He knew that because she had a cold, his brother night not be safe with her around and no matter how much he wanted for her to stay in his house Jeffery was at risk and Steven was mature enough to say no. That's what it means to be a good brother.
Steven even took it upon himself to make Jeffery feel safe and comfortable when he went with Jeffery when Jeffery didn't have his toy, Matt Medic. This is proof that Steven wants the best for his brother and that when he can make Jeffery feel good he will. Another example of how Steven Alper makes mature decisions for the sake of his brother's well being.
What really went down in D,D,and DP? Steven Alper went down, maturity went down, brotherly love went down, love went down. Maturity went down. By making these mature decisions Steven Alper helped his family start up again, and even though they were in a tight spot he helped his family get back on their feet and start running again.
