Approach to Video Games/Advertising Eric Schlosser, the author of "Kid Kustomers" is against advertising because of the negative affects it has on children, while Steven Johnson, the author of "Games" is against video games because he feels that reading is a much more sufficient use of time. Likely, Johnson would not see anything valuable in the exposure of children to advertising, while Schlosser would criticize video games. This is because Steven Johnson would be completely against it.

The boy was “certainly tweaked at an angle” and thus is expected to be violent. This further removes his sense of belonging with the remainder of his community. Similarly, the character of Cecilia from The Virgin Suicides suffers mental issues thus disallowing an understanding of the remaining sister’s characters to be made. “Do we seem as crazy as everyone thinks? … Cecilia was weird but we’re not.” The subject “we” enhances the community’s perception of the sisters as a whole.

Masculinity vs. femininity is the most compelling theme in the novel that reveals Okonkwo’s flaw.

This echoes one of the themes of this novel—adolescent confusion on the way to the adult world and the pain of growing up. As what Holden did before, he alienated himself from the outside phony world so as to protect the inner fragile, confused self. He labelled people around him as phonies and morons but it never downed on him that he was also one of the phonies who would flatter someone on mouth but curse him in heart.
