  1. Kelsey, by putting quotations around the word "friend", it implies that your opinion or perception of the article makes this "friend" out to be more of a bad companion rather then a true hero. From your review of the article, in my opinion it seems that this friend made the wisest decision for the future benefit of Brian Baker who clearly needs some sort of rehabilitation for his assortment of issues. I think putting quotations around the word "friend" could imply that this companion didn't have Brian Baker's best interest at heart. Maybe he just wanted to help his friend get better and stop his illegal behaviors.
