Which is worse, getting picked on and not knowing it, or realizing that all you thought was pure was bull. Welcome to the human race.
ReplyDeleteI found this novel depressing, too. It was sad to see him realize all the lies of the friendships. It made me think of Lennie in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Have you read that? Well, Lennie had George to protect him from those in society who would take advantage of an innocent. One my students blogged this line: "Why is it the innocent that always suffer?" I don't know why, but I think she is right. The innocent always seem to suffer the most.
