The fight I lost and the bullying I can't escape, sentence 4
What he slowly understood: the crowd that chanted forgets fast, revenge would only start round two, and being strong is not the same as winning a fight; his older cousin told him, "Real hard men walk away," and a boxing club, where fighting has rules, helped more than the night-time plans.
Who acts: head, crowd, revenge, strong, older cousin, Real hard men · What happens: understand, chant, forget, start, be, not be · To what, where: two, fight, head, rules · Speech: someone speaks here
