During this section of reading, Uno feels regret for punching Danny. It's hard to see at first glance why he would actually feel any regret. You can tell that Uno is a pretty bad dude. Like when he's smashing up windows and things like that. He doesn't feel any regret when he's doing that. Some might think it's because of the threats Uncle Ray gave him. But I think that the reason that he regrets doing this is because he knows that Danny didn't mean to hit Manny in the face. And he knows that he knew that when it happened too. He feels regret because he knows that the only reason that he actually hit Danny, was because he was just a sore loser. Just because Danny was better than him, he decided to hit him. Also, I think another reason that he feels regret was because Danny didn't rat him out. Danny took the blame for himself, getting respect from everybody else as well.

Also in this section, we learned about Danny's troubles playing in front of the boys from Leucadia. But he doesn't really have trouble playing in front of the National City people. One reason I think that is is because he knows that they're probably not as hard about how well you play as the kids from his private school. Another reason I think it is is because his cousin Sophie lives there. We've seen how much she protects him. That makes him more comfortable, I think. Another reason that I really think that he really doesn't have trouble playing with the National City kids is because of Liberty. She makes him want to do well. But these aren't the only reasons. I think that there are plenty of different reason that all pile up into him not being afraid.
