After reading the novel, I will give you a brief introduction to the follow-up
---------------------------------------- ------------
Bobby:
After Ted left, the first thing Bobby did was to use baseball to teach a big boy who bullied Carol. What I want to emphasize here is that Bobby started to become violent after experiencing this incident. That summer, Bobby didn't actually buy a bicycle, so he went to another city with his mother. Mother took the money Bobby got from Ted plus the rewards for reporting Ted, and made the start-up funds for a new business. Good days are coming, but Bobby's life is getting more and more worrying. Constantly fighting with classmates and playing truant at school; want to play the guitar, so the classmates who played the guitar grabbed it; smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, and stealing things. So he entered the reformatory twice in junior high school, and was dropped out of the school later. So, is the appearance of Ted really beautiful? Forty years later, Bobby married a female photographer and had three children, and he was a carpenter.

Carol:
After Bobby and his mother went to live in another city, their love lasted for about two years through letters. Then Carol and Sally got together, and one night, Carol and Sally tasted the forbidden fruit. In Carol's first year in college, she slept with a virgin again. At this time, she and Sally did not break up. Later, I dropped out of school and joined the anti-Vietnam War student organization (in my current sense, it is a radical organization). Participated in a "terrorist attack" that accidentally caused more than ten casualties.

Sally: After I
grew up, I actively joined the army to fight the Viet Cong. Unfortunately, I was partially injured. After I was discharged from the army, I also suffered from the aftermath of the war. I got a certain degree of mental illness and hallucinations. While driving, he was caught in a traffic jam and died of a heart attack. At his funeral, Bobby and Carol reunited 40 years later. At this point, the story ends.

Movies are tender; while novels are a portrayal of American social life under the turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s, describing the life of the "Beat Generation" after World War II.
