Andy was hopeful because he thought he wasnt going to die, until the druken man came and then he realized that he was going to die (if that makes any sense to you) He was also very proud of being a Royal (the gang) and finally when he layed on the sidewalk did he take off his jacket and become the Andy he was all along. Hope that helps!
He is very hopeful because when he was dying the only thing he could think about was his future with Laura, and he tried to have hope, that someday having a family and a lot of kids was going to happen
I think that the cop only saw the symbolism on the jacket but he didn't know that he wanted to be a Royal. Only Laura was the one that knew that he wanted to be known as Andy and not a gang member of the royal
The rising action is when the 3 person (drunken man, the couple and the old lady) come to the scene and either failed to help him or just did see him at all.
The name Andy is a diminutive form of Andrew. Andrew originates in ancient Greek and means manly.

The purpose of using italics in "On the Sidewalk Bleeding" is to emphasize specific words or phrases, like highlighting the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist Andy. It helps to show his inner turmoil and desperation as he grapples with his situation and reflects on his identity.
Andy was a sixteen year old teenager boy who gets stabbed by one of the Guardian's gang's knife over his heart (his ribs) and lays on the sidewalk bleeding. He gets stabbed by them because he is part of The Royal's gang and they are rivals.
The irony in "On the Sidewalk Bleeding" is that the protagonist, Andy, is seriously injured and dying, but nobody helps him because they assume he is just a gang member due to the jacket he is wearing. This highlights the superficial judgments people make based on appearances, ultimately leading to a tragic outcome.
I think the author included the old lady in the story given that she doesn't see or hear Andy at all. This is because the author is trying Andy to probably think her as Laura his girlfriend in his condition.
The conflict in "On the Sidewalk Bleeding" by Evan Hunter is both external and internal. Externally, the conflict arises from Andy's gang affiliation and the consequences of being stabbed by a rival gang. Internally, the conflict stems from Andy's struggle to reconcile his sense of identity as a Royal with his desire to be recognized as an individual beyond his gang affiliation.
Freddie and Angela did not help the couple Andy because they were members of a rival gang, which is why they left him to die on the sidewalk after stabbing him. The gang rivalry and loyalty to their own group prevented them from assisting Andy in his time of need.
I think that the cop only saw the symbolism on the jacket but he didn't know that he wanted to be a Royal. Only Laura was the one that knew that he wanted to be known as Andy and not a gang member of the royal
The rising action is when the 3 person (drunken man, the couple and the old lady) come to the scene and either failed to help him or just did see him at all.
The turning point in "On the Sidewalk Bleeding" by Evan Hunter is when Andy realizes that he is not just a Royal, but also an individual with his own hopes and dreams. This shift in identity marks a moment of self-awareness and introspection as he grapples with his impending death and the realization that he is more than just a gang member.
His name is Andy...?
It is 3rd Person Omniscient point of view because the narrator is explaining all of Andy's thoughts throughout the entire story. You even know the thoughts of the other characters just when they say something out loud. (EX: The drunk thought Andy was laying in the sidewalk because he was drunk. Angela mentioned she was scared, and Frankie said hedidn'twant to invade with the Guardian’s and the Royal’s business.)
