What characters are struggling for Woody's attention ?

The main character who wants Woody's attention is Tootles, who is seen as the lesser of the group. He is first introduced later than the rest, his physical position taken by Shaun, reflecting the foreshadowing moments. 

What does Shaun get from being part of the gang?

- change in identity
- confidence 
- fulfilment of his dad's death
- closeness to people whom he could relate to

When these conflicts arise, think about the ways they are resolved?

Woody, as position of leader, encourages Tootles and Shaun to discuss their problems, which they comply to. Tootles explains how his current position in life is heavily impacting his mental stability, causing him to feel left out 

How would you describe Woody ?

Woody seems different from the other skinheads. At first, it is unsure if he is genuine or simply mocking, since that is the usual stereotype. However he genuinely listens to Shaun's and can empthise with him due to similar social standards. He is definitely the most caring of them.

How does Woody relate to the other members of the group?

Each member has a similar social background which enables them to empathise with each other. His mentality causes him to be the leader of the group, this is due to his sensitivity and all-round wiseness towards subjects.

How can you describe the phases that the gang go through?

Equilibrium -  fallen out of society, keeps to themselves 
  Disruption - combo joining causes a divide within group

Resolution - open-ending, climax ends in violence
