Rowdy's development 

He is around and dynamic character because throughout the story he realizes Junior is not betraying him but just trying to create a better life for himself, and finally Rowdy accepts that.

“I always knew you were going to leave. I always knew you were going to leave us behind and travel the world. I had this dream about you a few months ago. You were standing on the Great Wall of China. You looked happy. And I was happy for you.”

–Rowdy to Junior

"We played until the bats swooped down at our heads. We played until the moon was huge and golden and perfect in the dark sky. We didn't keep score..." What does this show about their friendship?
