Gary was innocent when it came to understanding the difference between fantasy and television. Another major element of American identity that Gary displayed in the story was sense of place. In school, he was automatically put in the “stupid” group and felt as though there was no hope in him escaping that title. He felt comfortable going around and doing jobs to earn some money when left behind by his brother. His brother and he would go to the ditch to swim together.
All Chris cared about was making people laugh that was his life’s motive. He fed off of other people’s happiness even if he was miserable. Some say he may have had a form of a Somatoform Disorder or Behavioral Disorder. Chris was constantly sent down to the office for being extremely disruptive and disrespectful in class just to entertain his peers. Chris’s father never truly yelled at him for what he did just because of how cute he was as a child, Chris was usually allowed to do whatever he wanted this gave him this sense of empowerment but at the same time caused him to grow this self-independence.
He tends to act dumb and do dumb things that usually have a direct impact on him or the people surrounding him.

From a small town there really isn't much to do so he tended to do dumb stuff like cow tipping with his step-brother.
Not So SuperBad Sweetly absurd, Crude and awkward, Superbad is almost a typical teen movie, reminding me a bit of the American Pie films because of the simple plot and juvenile humour. However, compared to other teen movies the film is much more intelligently written than others of its genre, and this shines through in the characters. Superbad follows three high school seniors as they go on a long night of self-discovery, ending in drunken declarations of love between best friends with unrealistic yet entertaining events happening in between. The over weight Seth, played by Jonah Hill (Knocked Up) is foul-mouthed and impulsive, Evan, his best friend, played by Michael Cera is a more gentle and shy, almost to the point of being invisible,
It was one of the largest massacres ever. However director Mark Herman uses the perspective of the little boy Bruno to illustrate that for children who have no prejudices about nations and enemies (and the boys in the movie were completely oblivious that one was suffering and the other was not) it shows just how innocent children are and without exposing them to the wrong idea they will connect and get along. Herman uses many techniques to his advantage to distinguish the interplay between history and memory. The landscape is majorly used to show the perspective of each character. This is shown in scenes in the house/headquaters where there are bland colours and it looks like a fortress which indicates the unhappiness and sadness of the people within it.
One bad choice made by Amir completely changed the path of his life; not for the better, but for the worse.

Jack and Ralph always had a competition for who was leader, as Ralph got voted, Jack got very jealous.
