Ben and Willy

Ben was not a positive influence on Willy at all. Ben teaches and tells Willy things that are a bad influence on him and Linda doesn't like it at all one little bit. Linda thinks that Ben is a bad influence on Will and doesn't like it when they are with each other because Ben does bad things and Linda cant stand it. Because Linda doesn't like Ben due to his bad influence on Willy so she tries to make sure that they don't get together to hangout or chat about anything because she believes that it can lead to something no good. This is what I understood and took from the reading that I read. Even though Linda finds Ben a bad influence on Willy, Willy doesn't see it so he still talks to Ben.
