A Win Is A Win

The shot which i chose to analyze was right after Harvey got into his first fight and he was walking away with another person who seemed to respect Harvey more after beating up another kid.  A couple pages back Harvey felt like he had nothing else to live for, as he states, he had quit sports, he felt incapable of talking to girls, so his only option was to become a street fighter which he felt was the only way to earn respect from everyone around him.  After beating up this first kid who supposedly "pissed him off" for no apparent reason except for the kid was saying stuff that Harvey did not agree with Harvey decides to sock him directly in his face causing the person to bleed from his mouth and cry.  In this scene Harvey says "I probably shouldn't of hit him, but there were people around and they saw it."  Clearly the only reason Harvey decided to lay this kid out was not because of what the kid was saying but because Harvey wanted to gain respect from the people around him and he felt like this was an excellent way to start earning the respect which he felt he deserved.  The frame directly before this one the kid which he hit says "What did you do that for? I wasn't going to hit you.  Are you nuts or something?  It becomes clear to the reader that Harvey overreacted in this situation and really the only reason for his violence towards this person was just to prove how strong he was. 
 Also in the shot we see Harvey walking away from the kid while another kid who was a bystander during the fight put his arm around Harvey and told him that what he did was a good thing and he was glad he did it.  I think it is important to look at the bystander and what he is doing to Harvey, his arm is over Harveys shoulder which is showing acceptance for what he did to his person he beat up.  Harvey seems to regret what he did to the kid but also wants to prove his strength and be respected by everyone around him.  In this scene it is very hard to tell how Harvey feels about the situation, I personally believe he has sort of a look of regret in his face for what he just did but also feels like it was the necessary thing to do.
The last thing which i noticed in this scene was at the bottom of the page when Harvey says "Well, a win is a win".  In the end he feels like it needed to happened and Harvey sort of just brushes it off his shoulder and looks at it in a positive view.
