************In Chapters 10-14 we see the community of Coalwood supporting Sonny and his friends. How does this support affect the creation of their rockets? Who do you feel is most supportive?
The support of Coalwood is a really big part of the Rocket boys success. They find support form their friends, media coverage form journalists, and they create their rockets with the help of the company mechanists. Sonny and his friends have many fans for their work but I think that Mrs. Hickam is by far the greatest support to their work. She may not have given them information on how to construct functional rockets but she did give them her faith. She believed in their efforts and she believed they could do anything with their lives. She loved each one of the Rocket boys because she wanted the best for them.
Every person who supported the Rocket boys helped in building those rockets. Miss Riley supplied them with the information to make fuel, Mr. Hickam gave them supplies, Valentine gave Sonny confidence, Mr. Bykovski helped them from the beginning and so many other cheered them on. I think that if we go for something with all our heart we will draw people to us and they will want to do what they can to help us acheive our goals. Sonny was able to do just that and he did unimaginable things with his life.
