Since the Big Game incident, people start to blame Reggie Ratner for causing Chris to be in coma. Some Fillmore High School students seek revenge by pranking and embarrassing him though it is not proven that Reggie is responsible for Chris's injury.

Conclusion paragraph (Sample)

Chris's 'forgive and forget' attitude clearly shows that when we learn to forgive and forget, we will be able to maintain a harmonious relationship with others. Not only we will be able to move on with our lives more peacefully, we can also prevent series of unwanted conflicts in the future. I personally think a person who is able to forgive and forget deserves much respect because not everybody can do so. Most people would be consumed with anger and hatred instead.
